"Yes, you do that. And...thanks," Leonardo said to Richard at his offer to teach Selene how to use a phone. 

Turning to Derald, he added, "As for interrogating suspects...I'll leave it to you, but keep it discreet. And make sure they're actually involved with Mystics. The DoM sort of turned a blind eye to businesses between those involved in Mystics, but they'll be stepping in if it involves ordinary civilians. In any case, about Ms Amari's history, it's nothing that special, really. In the first place, Executors are those tasked to eliminate what the Holy Church considers to be heresy. Naturally, that includes magecraft. The Holy Church has an arrangement with the DoM and the Mage Association, but conflicts still happen occasionally, especially for unaffiliated magi, as was the case for the Amari Family. Apparently, her family magecraft's thaumaturgical foundation is Islamic Mysticism, so there was some overlap of 'holy relics' with the Church, leading to some confrontation with an Executor in a dispute for an Abrahamic faith relic."

Noticing Winnifred raising her hand, Leonardo gave her a nod, prompting her to ask her questions, before answering, "There aren't that many magi in Millhaven, comparatively speaking, to say, DC. In the first place, only about 2.5% of Millhaven's population is involved with the Mystics, making up about a little below 400. Of those, probably about half are magi. Well, more spellcasters than magi, but the terms are interchangeable in America. For number two...if it comes to that, call the Holy Church. Or the DoM. Probably both. A fully matured demon is too dangerous to deal with without those people."

Finally, to MiMi's suggestion, Leonardo replied, "You mean you want to act separately so Ms Fatma wouldn't realise you're part of our agency she hired? Well, I'm not opposed to it if you think you'll get better results that way. Better think of a way to make it not suspicious for a psychologist to suddenly show up at her door, though."
