( And she doesn't know how she would, anyway. He just got married. He has someone new watching his back. It's not her job anymore. )
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.
( It's accompanied with a small shrug. She's had a long time to think about what comes next, be it her own solo path, or something else. For now, this could be a good angle.
This is the first of several she'll find. Some better than others. )
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. )

[Her power has been growing. Astral projecting from that far is a feat.]
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.]
