::Douglas circled the grounds, taking the time to study each square foot of the area. It may come in useful at another time. Several weeks had passed since he first arrived in Westchester, since he had followed Mystique back to her home and found himself surrounded by mutants. His sense had tingled constantly at first, before becoming a dull sensation in the back of his mind.
Weeks...he had only prepared himself to remain in Westchester for a few days. His suitcase packed, set by the patio while he made his final rounds. That last tip he'd received from Mystique, combined with the information he'd gotten from studying the mansion; admittedly his studying had involved breaking and entering, lay out an opportunity that he had to take.
He checked his cell phone for the time as he walked the grounds. The bus would be at the stop in less than an hour, at which point he would be on the road again.::

After waking up that morning and talking with the Doctor in the kitchens, Seer thought she'd take a walk around the grounds. She smiled when she saw a familiar figure. One she could actually see. "Douglas!" She called and quickened her pace. Catching up to him she made a slight shrug, "Sorry, I mean Odin." She said with a small smile.

"Seer," ::Douglas returned the greeting, forgiving her slip. There were worse things than his given name. He'd sensed her before he saw her, and he adjusted the black frames on the bridge of his nose.:: "Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah..." Seer said with a small nod and stuck her hands in the front pockets of her jeans, "Sorry about running out on ya..." She told him and then saw his mind waves, "Your leaving?"

::Douglas nodded, looking around the grounds again before his eyes focused on her.:: "Packed and ready. I never stay anywhere more than a couple of weeks."

"Oh, yeah that's right. You Travel." Seer said with a small nod, "You will be missed." She told him honestly.

::Douglas smiled at that. Not one of his smug smirks, but a genuine smile. He'd traveled for a few years now, and he rarely made connections. Those he made were for business, nothing personal. He hadn't been told he'd be missed since he first left Chicago.
His hand slipped into his pocket, took out his wallet. From there he produced a business card for her.
Douglas Stevens/Odin
Valhalla Enterprises
312-368-4527
Have Talent, Will Travel
Card between his first two fingers, he held it out to her.:: "You can get me here, any time day or night."

Seer grinned as he smiled and took the card looking at it for a second. Memorizing the number, before she looked up, "Thank you." She said and then took a step forward and hugged him. She had know idea why she did it, but she did and it felt right to.

::Douglas returned her hug, his arms wrapped around her loosely. He wasn't used to such unannounced displays of affection; he'd spent too much time surrounded by people who couldn't possibly appreciate him for who he was or what he knew. Or those that did only had interest in him for business.:: "And thank you, Seer."

Seer stepped back. A smile on her lips. She gave a small nod, looking down at the card in her hand for a second, before looking back up at him, "Where are you going?" She asked. She knew, but she wanted to hear it from him. If he'd even tell her...

::Douglas generally wouldn't go into details about his travels, particularly not where he was going next. But she knew, and he knew she knew. She wouldn't risk herself following him, so there was no danger in telling her. He doubted she would tell anyone else.:: "I'm making a quick trip to Manhatten, but then I'm heading back upstate."

Seer's smile widened as she gave a nod, "You think your ever going to come back?" She asked. "I might not be here at the mansion if you do. I will, however, be in Manhatten...or...somewhere here in New York." She told him.

"Maybe. It all depends on where my work takes me," ::Douglas answered honestly. Westchester was not too high on his list of repeat locations, even with the X-Men residing here. Manhatten, on the other hand, was a place he always visited when he was on the East Coast.:: "The next time I'm in Manhatten, I'll need to stop by and visit."

Seer beamed, "Well, I don't have a place at the moment, but I'll be sure to call when I do." She said raising her hand that held the card. "I really want you to meet Sylar. And if Jamie's still around I want the two of you to meet as well."

::Douglas rifled through his memory briefly, for the name Jamie. He found it after a minute: Jamie Maddrox, the duplicator who defected from the Brotherhood after being arrested. She hadn't mentioned him before, which meant only that he wasn't family, and their relationship was a new one. He smiled at her,:: "Congratulations."
