NOTE: As of 12/2016, Rey has adopted the alias "Fiona Stransky" when working with the Guard. Something to keep in mind, as Rey maintains a low profile with her involvement in the group. Other than what is mentioned in the Guard records, there is no trace of a "Fiona" identified on the network.
[There are a few guesses for how Nick was about to continue that sentence, and none of them ending in a very constructive discussion. So Rey's glad that he drops it before that can begin again.
[She winces at that last part, though. Much as she'd like to tell him that he's just being paranoid, he isn't unwise to consider his options.]
Any ideas? Can probably help you work something out... when I'm back, that is.
No clear ideas yet. Needs to be someone who can take charge in a pinch, and has their heart in the right place. We've got several who are around when you need 'em, but that's about it.
[And a couple of others who are more willing to help, but Nick isn't sure he'd ever want them in charge of the Guard proper.]
[If Atem had a say in it, Rey probably would have been a high candidate for that "someone" Nick is looking for. As it is, she isn't sure she wants to take on that sort of responsibility so openly when she is more comfortable with her more private role in the Guard. Still, there has to be something she can do for him. Just has to think of what.]
Maybe you could put up a "job posting" of sorts. Let the city at least know you're looking for more bodies, and make sure people know what the Guard's actually about.
[Since they have so many issues with misconceptions from day one.]
Would have more fun banging my head against a brick wall than having that conversation for the umpteeth time.
[It would also be more productive, too, all things considered. Some she knows has come around eventually, but... there's some kinds of stupid you just can't fix.]
Sounds good. Think offering feedback is still up my alley. [Even if being an official part of the Guard no longer isn't, but that's been for the best for everyone.]
[He says that immediately; she might not be on the Guard in an official capacity, but she knows him just about as well as he knows himself these days. He might take some of her more pragmatic suggestions with a grain of salt, but when it comes to doing the right thing, he knows he can put his faith in Rey.]
We'll talk when you're back in town. That and... this brother situation. For now, you take care out there. I need you to come back to me.

[But he gets what she's saying.]
Not a bad idea, though. I'll see what I can come up with for now, maybe run it past you when you get back.
[Among other things.]
