Arden: 'Bogdanova' (male equivalent: Bogdanov) is a surname derived from the personal name 'Bogdan' meaning 'gift from God'. It is given to orphans as a surname when their true lineage is not known, but was also occasionally given to illegitimate children to disguise their heritage, which would be important in the cases of nobility. It's a clever joke, you see.
"I got you covered, hun." From a wine rack just inside the door to the Hallow, Helena pulls a bottle of blue liquid, as well as a tall jar of something resembling rock candy. "I MUCH prefer Tass in edible forms - that's why I picked this place. Anyone can get mana back, and you can still use it for fuel. Take your pick! Grab your fill," she nods to Cassidy. "You're gonna need it, I'm sure."

"Wow, um... Thank you, I'll top off and save whats left if thats ok. I'm assigned to Chicago right now and i don't know of any of the local hollows yet. Um... I'm not really sure how much of what is going on you already know, but i'm sure one of us can fill you in if you would like?"
Arden just stares at the bounty of tass before slowly starting to drink the Tass wine.

"The other big one's actually in midair," Helena munches on a little bit of the 'rock candy' Tass. "Over Fifth Avenue. A guy named Lamb was always talking about building a tower tall enough to reach it... did he ever pull it off? I don't remember." Munch, munch. "There's one in the Park, too, but other than that I'm not sure. The little ones come and go, sometimes."

Crux takes the offered blood cheerfully and chugs what she can. Nice and warm thereafter, she makes little rolling motions with her hands.
"Sssooo... the Nothhhhhinnng....coming for us or waiting for uuuuussss...."

Cin quirked an eyebrow. "Wait, ardens mentor is your son? I thought Simon was your son...isn't he in another realm?"
She eyed the glamour wine before pulling it from the cabinet. "Thank you."

"Yeah, Simon's our kid. 'The Prince', according to the prophecy? And then your friend's mentor calls himself 'prince' in Russian? It's him. I recognize that sense of humor." Helena manages to be amused and irritated at the same time. "I don't know anything about him being in another Realm, though it wouldn't surprise me. The backlash on this was... just massive." She takes one of those deep, cleansing breaths. "Anyway, yes, please do fill me in on whatever catastrophes led you here. And... what's this about 'the Nothing'?" Arching a brow, she glances at Crux.

Crux rubbed her temple to remember more effectively, and then she took a deep breath. "The changeling we eliminated said she was working for the void that works like the Nothing in Neverending story. And then, it was in my dream. After you walk with us, it will be the there and it's bad news bears."

"The Neverending Story?" Helena furrows her brow... then, epiphany! "Oh! Die unendliche Geschichte by Michael Ende, first published in 1979. The Nothing, right... not an inappropriate analogy, if it's what I think it is," She ponders for a moment, "but in any case, the chase won't start until we leave my Sanctum."

Jude takes some of the rock candy Tass and munchies on it. Candy was a weakness. "Do you mind if I take extra with me? I feel like it would be beneficial." She asked politely. She wouldn't just start shoving things in her bag.
Speaking of, she pulled the compartment open a smidge, "You okay in there?" She asked. She didn't think the heart would need anything, but it wasn't an issue to ask.

Helena waves a hand dismissively. "Yeah, sure, take what you can. There's only so much you can carry, anyway. Magic is like that. You know."
The Heart has been quiet, all this time. Now that you listen, you hear it humming. Though 'melancholy' typically characterizes the Heart, it seems cheerful enough just now. Eventually it does answer, "I will be glad to rest, but my labors are not yet finished. Pity me not, for there is pride in the job well done."

Cass let go of Jude's hand letting his fingers linger on hers. He looked at the heart.
"I have to agree with the little guy."
To Helena, "it's good to know we have aome safe time before the daner... Hey Jude, or Crux, or Cin. Remind me to gravedirt up before we leave haha."
Cass laughed. If for no other reason than to hide his nervousness. Things were going to get dicey. He walks over to the distilled ectoplasm.
"I hope I'm not taking advantage of your hospitality, but would you mind if I also took some for the road? The flask is empty and I might as well fill it with something useful."
Cass took a nice drink. Juat enough to fill him up. He hadn't used too much plasm, but better safe than sorry.
