Okay I figured that would be the reason she would leave, I know for sure that Mitchell won't be that happy about the covens merging either other than that it causes Lia to leave. He likes people and everything, but is a firm believer that to big of groups draw to much attention. Kathleen of course will follow Lia as soon as she gets a chance. Partly because she needs Lia to be balanced. But also because despite how much she likes Atty, she trusts Lia more than anyone else.
