I'm free. For you. For however long. ( Something she hasn't done, she decides to - as a gesture. She can know where she is. She should. Her in case of emergency. Break glass. Jaq is her in case of emergency. ) I'm in Nepal.
Some days. It's better than India. Smells better. I miss Shanghai. Not Moscow.
( She's been all over. )
I was thinking Australia next. There are... branches of a British coven there - I think I may want to start laying some groundwork. I don't know. I never left with an actual plan. David's returned. ( But she can't. ) Would you? Meet me in Australia?

If we want things to change, we have to start at the beginning.

She's always encouraging you to do your "outreach." Use her words against her.
( Especially when she then decides it's her idea. Jaqueline is good at getting her mom to ask her things she needs or wants to do, she just picks and chooses when. Maybe now's a good when. )

That sounds ... peaceful?

The offer is tempting. She would have to concoct a reason to be there, but she could, maybe with a little wiggle room.]
Let me see if I can talk my parents into it.

For now, she needs to get back to the wedding. So she'll push to her feet, leaning in to kiss her, before stepping back.]
I have to get back before I'm missed. But I'll text you when I have an answer.
[And with that, she will leave the astral projection of her girlfriend behind, and put her mask back on, ready to head back to the cage of her life.]
