[Serena glances at Vincent briefly and he gives her the nod to go ahead. She knows it's not likely news to the two vampires at the other end of the table, but she doesn't know what Beck's brothers know.]
It's kind of like supernatural witness protection? We help with relocation, evading hunters, fresh identities for immortal creatures, social support, that kind of thing. It's called the Underground.
( Because, that is where his mind goes. But, he kind of thinks highly of her now. Because that's a lot of good one can do. Though, Callahan feels the farthest from any of that. Like his twin brother. Every other brother has had if not direct contact, moved closer to it, or embedded themselves, Beck.)
Our mum's on the watcher's council. Do you work with them?
Not directly - not me at least. Faith's recently started working with us, and Cordy and Angel have been working with us for a while.
[So yes, there are connections, but not all the way up to the Watcher end of things.]
From the way my boss explains it, they were a bit too British for him when he was first getting started way back when. But he's Australian, so I'm sure there's some kind of bias there.
Many people have beef with the British, safe to say they've probably earned it.
[The Brits have their own sordid history that the world will likely continue to contend with for a long while.]
But yeah, Cordy and Angel joined up shortly after the last apocalypse a few years back? They've been really handy to have around. You'd be surprised how few people that go into my line of work have social skills.
I was unaware they weren't affiliated. Way I heard it, they were big into things in the 2000's. Wonder why they took their big hiatus. And shouldn't social skills be a prerequisite?

Cordelia and Angel, really.
( What a tiny planet they live on. )
Mighty bias. Brits and the Irish have the same.

[Which, fair. Work with what you've got.
But that's a lot of talking about her, so:]
So what about you? What do you do other than being handsome and Irish?
[Can she test the waters with a little flirting? Maybe. He's been very locked in, so maybe he might be into it.]
