Lumina will almost always answer her locket, wherever she happens to be!

Thank you. I'll make sure to give you something really great for doing this. I'll send the charm to you with an imp, and let me know if you need anything else, okay?
[There's a laugh.]
I'm sure I'll think of something. Thanks.
I'm sure I'll think of something. Thanks.
Yeah he...told me about that.
[Lumina frowns.]
Look. Uh. I don't know where he is but we'll find him.
[He can't be gone. He can't.]
[Lumina frowns.]
Look. Uh. I don't know where he is but we'll find him.
[He can't be gone. He can't.]
Lumina. I have an idea that I believe you may be able to help me with at Archer Point. Are you nearby?
Hellooooo Saber. [There's a little laugh.]
I can be. Whatcha planning?
I can be. Whatcha planning?
You know that beast Archer and I captured that he placed in my name upon his departure? I would like to see if it is possible to train it to seek out and attack those bearing Seelie shards.
Given the savagery of the creature and your natural inclination with such beasts, I thought you would be best suited to help me with this project. Does it interest you?

You help two giant monsters and everybody thinks you're a monster's best friend. [Lumina giggles though, clearly not upset.]
I've been kind of avoiding that one though. I mean, we can try. It seems pretty...dangerous.
But we can try!

It will be dangerous at first, but I will be there to keep it from harming you. Archer only got credit for its capture because I did not feel the need to claim it.
The clearing had been cut through the forest by a stream that had probably been a river years before, but now quietly meandered between the trees and shrubs, shallow enough that it could be crossed without much worry. At the far end, a path led out to a rocky outcropping with a barely visible cave.
Lumina and Katherine appeared in a swirl of dark, chaotic energy mixed with sparkling, shimmering light, and Lumina let go of the older woman's sleeve as soon as the ground was solid beneath their feet. Her usual chipperness was gone, her expression narrow and almost...tentative, her eyes dark.
"Okay." She said after a second, looking around. She had come by once, when the old witch woman had told her where to go, just to make sure it was the right place, and once she had her bearings back she pointed towards the path that led to the rocky hill and cave.
"...It's supposed to live over there." Lumina said, letting her hand drop back to her side as she turned to look up at Katherine. "At least, that's what I was told. They seemed very sure."
'It' was the kitsune, or a kitsune at least, a magical fox creature. A magic fox person that...that they were here to kill. That Katherine was here to kill, at least. Otherwise they couldn't cure the Roc.
It was for the greater good, Lumina understood how it worked, but that didn't make it feel any less awful.

The way they transported to the cave was unsettling. She barely had time to steady herself, trying to feign as though she was unaffected. It wasn't lost on Katherine Lumina held onto the sleeve of her jacket. It wasn't lost on her she didn't think to shake her off.
She looked over to the cave. Her heart sank. The last time she had been in a dark and small space, it had been the tomb she had meant to desiccate inside and then the caves where she had sacrificed Jeremy Gilbert to Silas. At least with the latter, she was able to escape.
She didn't let her gaze drift from the cave. She tried to focus her hearing, listening as intently as she could. Aside from the beating of Lumina's own heart, she thought she could hear a shuffle, a stone or two rolling against the ground.
"Someone's in there." She looked to Lumina. She didn't want to ask if she was sure. It was such an Elena thing to even inquire about. Katherine didn't care if Lumina was sure, if she was even okay with this. But she knew what she was about to say was some layered and roundabout way of asking. She didn't like it, how she felt compelled to even let the sentiment slip past her lips. "Are you sure you don't want to say hello?"

Lumina took a few steps towards the cave as Katherine regained her bearings. She knew it was strange for other people to teleport with her, so it was one of the few things she wouldn't 'dig' at them about. Not that she was at all in a decent enough mood to dig at anyone.
"Hmm?" She turned at the question, then looked back at the cave. She didn't want to go there, but part of her thought she should. That had been Lightning's advice, at least. But for all her bluster, there was a difference between leading people astray and actively killing them. The kitsune, they needed its heart. She knew they couldn't let the roc die.
And if she went in there, and talked to it, and liked it? And then had to watch it die?
The chaos girl just didn't think she could do that.
Finally she sucked in a breath and shook her head.
"Nah," she tried for indifferent and it really, really didn't work. "I'll...just wait here."

Katherine rolled her eyes. She'd been soft once. She'd recoiled at the sight of blood, felt her heart clench at the mere thought of another wanting to harm someone else. She'd been soft once, and she had died for it.
It'd be too easy to compel Lumina into having some confidence in herself. With a simple look in her eye, she could make it all go away, the fear, the second guessing, the softness to her. But Katherine never liked to make things easy for those around her or herself. If she did this, if she killed the kitsune and brought its heart back to this soft-hearted girl, she knew it would be a rather large debt Lumina would need to repay.
And the idea of having someone in her debt was enticing and motivation enough to keep Katherine from making this easier on the two of them.
"Fine," she said. She rolled her shoulders back and looked toward the cave. "The heart. That's it. If I get blood on my shoes, this king of the birds owes me several pairs."
Katherine gave Lumina a moment, a very brief pause, to reconsider her stance on not venturing into the cave with her. But she knew the younger girl wouldn't. Taking a heart was an unnerving business, and it was a task she thought Elijah would be quite capable of.
"Guard the entrance." Her tone turned slightly condescending, "Can you manage that?"

Lumina hesitated again in that pause, on the edge of changing her mind but finally just shaking her head. She would wait out here. She sent other people to do the dirty work, not her. Heck, that had always been her style, why change now?
"I think I can manage that," she said, rolling her eyes at the condescension. A casual wave of her hand and two vicious dog-creatures appeared out of swirling balls of chaos, prowling ahead of both of them before stopping to look back at Lumina for orders. She made a faint hand gesture and they both flopped down on their haunches to wait.
"See? Entrance guarded. So go...do what you do."

Katherine's trust would never be with dogs, even those born of chaos. She looked at them, peering at them curiously despite the upturn of her lip, before she chose to walk around them. Saying anything else to Lumina seemed pointless. The girl didn't want to go into the cave. Katherine, despite her reservations of being locked inside a tomb-like place once more, didn't really care.
Once she walked past the dogs, she disappeared into a blur inside of it.
It wasn't difficult to track the kitsune down. In hindsight, Katherine should've suspected she was waiting for her, tempting her to come inside with the steady beat of her heart and scuffle of her feet. She followed the echoing sounds, so loud in her own ears, to a corridor deep inside the cave.
When she turned, a woman stood before her. She was tall and lean, olive-skinned with dark eyes and curly, dark hair. Katherine thought there was something familiar about her.
She arched her brow, peering up at the woman. She was dressed modernly, almost like Katherine herself.
"It's always polite to knock," the kitsune said. She spoke with a familiar accent. It wasn't difficult to discern she was Bulgarian, or so she wished to be.
Katherine shrugged. "I don't need an invitation, so I thought I'd forgo it."
The kitsune didn't bristle, nor did she cease smiling. Her eyes travelled up the length of Katherine, as if sizing her up.
She thought to do the same, blank expression as guarded as she could make it as she assessed the woman before her. "Where's your whiskers? Aren't you meant to be a fox?"
"I don't need my whiskers, so I thought I'd forgo it."
Katherine did her best not to roll her eyes. Instead, she crossed her arms against her chest and pursed her lips. "And how many tails do you have?"
The kitsune smiled. "A few." Katherine didn't lean to the side to try and see if the woman had any sprouting from her tailbone. Perhaps the kitsune wished for it, but she simply stood there, unnerving smile never quite wavering. "I only have one heart."
Pressing her lips together, she lifted her shoulders, before scrunching her face. "I'm going to need that."
She took a step forward. The kitsune took one back.
"I can take it by force," Katherine singsonged. "But I just got my nails done. If you just give me what I want, this won't have to get messy."
The kitsune continued to smile. Katherine did her best to remain unaffected by how unnerving she found it to be.
She took a step forward. And when she did, she found the dark and damp interior of the cave shift.
Her heart pounded in her chest. The blackened and glistening walls of the cave had shifted into the inside of her childhood home. The cottage was small and warm, oranges splashed against the walls from the fire.
She wasn't standing in front of the kitsune any longer. Sitting in her bed, she felt the warm hands of her mother hold her, the damp sheets sticking to her legs. The room smelled of blood, rich and tangy on her own tongue.
When she peered out of the corner of her eye, Katherine found herself in the nightgown she had worn five hundred years ago.
It was difficult to pull herself from her mother's embrace, but she tilted her head away from her chest to peer around her. There, the woman stood.
Clenching her jaw, Katherine looked to the kitsune. She stood inside the cottage, hands clasped before her. She seemed smug, but Katherine had a feeling that wasn't the right term to describe her.
"Don't you remember me?" she spoke in Bulgarian. When Katherine looked down there was a baby in her arms. "How could you have forgotten me already?"
Katherine looked at her through the blur of her own tears. Hearing the faint thud of Lumina's own heart, she steeled herself. Standing taller, shoulders held back, she glared at the kitsune before her.
She felt the fire flick against her skin, as warm as it'd been on the day the kitsune had brought back to life. If she wasn't a creature who could manipulate reality herself, Katherine thought perhaps she'd believe.
If Armel hadn't told her what a kitsune could do, she knew she would think herself Katerina once more.
As real as she had wished for it to be over the last five centuries, the one thing that had always kept her grounded, even when Stefan had manipulated her own dream, was the reminder good things never happened to Katherine Pierce.
Tempting as it was to remain in her mother's arms, with her own daughter in hers, Katherine knew she couldn't stay. But she wanted to. And she found herself hesitant to even move.
But she heard the yelp of a dog outside after the kitsune clicked her fingers, the corner of her lip quirking up as she did so.
And Katherine leapt from the bed with the speed that hadn't belonged to the girl who had once broken down in her mother's arms.
So quickly she moved, a blur shooting toward the woman. The kitsune leapt away from her, easily moving herself to stand where Katherine once did. The cottage shook, but the illusion maintained.
The kitsune stood by her mother who held her child. "You could have this," the woman said. "All you need to do is accept it."
Katherine gritted her teeth together and shook her head. "No." And she sped toward the woman once more.
The kitsune leapt over her, standing behind her again. When Katherine turned, she was closer now. "I can give you what you want," she said. "They can't."
Katherine shook her head. Remembering what Armel had once said, of the kitsune holding the same hatred as Katherine herself, she pressed her fingers to her lips and whistled as loud as she could.
The cave didn't shake, but Katherine had a feeling perhaps the kitsune would.
The fire of the cottage shimmered. The kitsune remained standing, hands clasped once again before her. Katherine remained in her place, waiting.
Watching the woman before her, she didn't need to listen nor look behind her to know when one of the chaos dogs found its way to their very tunnel. The illusion didn't shift at all.
The kitsune's eyes widened and she took a step back.
"I brought a friend," Katherine said, tone acidic. She looked down at the dog and then the kitsune. The cottage began to shake, the wood of the walls shifting into the damp stone of the cave walls.
With the dog growling beside her, Katherine watched as the kitsune kept her unblinking stare on the dog. She didn't take too long.
In a blur, she sped toward the kitsune. Her features shifted, eyes darkening into a blood red, veins popping against the skin around her eyes. Her teeth protruded as she transformed from an attractive woman into a monster. Copying a move of Elijah's, she thrusted her hand into her chest, feeling skin, muscle, and bone break at the sheer force. Her hand gripped her heart, fingers slick with blood, and pulled it out of her. "First lesson: Don't forget who I am."

She sped, as a blur, out of the cave, and came to a stop right before Lumina. Her hair wasn't as immaculate as it was before. Dust collected along the shoulders of her jacket. Soot was on her pants and boots.
Katherine stood before her as though she was made of stone, but the hardness of her gaze and the slight glistening shine to her eyes was the only tell she wasn't as invincible as she wanted to posture herself as. Her eyes remained dark, blood pooling around them, with veins popping beneath the skin. They eventually vanished; the vampire retreated as the woman Katherine was returned, features smooth and eyes are dark as they'd been previously.
With her lower arm slick and dripping with blood, she held the heart in the palm of her hand. The heart was red and unmoving in her tight grip.
"Here's your heart to save your little bird," she said, tone a lot more sharper than she had intended for it to be.

As soon as Katherine vanished into the cave, Lumina regretted not agreeing to go with her. Yet she didn't follow, instead pacing slowly back and forth outside of the entrance, her arms swinging, her attention vaguely attuned to any sounds that might give her some idea of what was going on.
She didn't like feeling this indecisive, usually she just did whatever struck her at any given time. Worrying about it though, that was...not new, exactly, but not something she was used to either. She didn't like it, but she knew she couldn't go in after her. Even if she thought she probably should.
Ugh.
After a minute or two of silence, she stopped right in front of the cave, frowning into the darkness, and then looked over at her two lounging guard dogs. "Go help her." She said, pointing into the cave, and the two beasts exchanged a look before hauling themselves onto their paws and loping into the darkness.
There. She had done something, at least...
~
Lumina had gone back to pacing when Katherine reemerged, and she hopped half-a-step back in surprise when the woman was suddenly there, her blue eyes focused on the bloody heart. Well yuck.
Still, after a few seconds she reached out with her gloved hand to take it, carefully and reluctantly, only to stop at the last moment. Instead she fished a black bag off her belt and held it out, open, for the woman to deposit the magical organ inside.
"...Thanks."

Katherine wasn't shaken, but she wasn't content to linger outside of the cave for very long. Something about the kitsune had unnerved her, burrowed so deep beneath her skin she doubted she could tear into herself and heal it away.
She watched Lumina with a tense expression on her face, jaw clenched and her eyes slightly wide. Her hand remained palm-up in front of her even after she had taken the heart.
Closing her fingers into a fist, Katherine's tone was clipped with only a sliver of a note of desperation, "Get us out of here."

The tenseness in Katherine's face actually surprised Lumina, but she knew she wasn't on much better footing herself, or else she'd have said something as snarky as usual.
Instead, after a couple seconds she just nodded, switching the heart-bag into her bare hand and then reaching out to take Katherine's wrist with her gloved one.
With a swirl of magic, they vanished.

[So he's kinda been hard to get in touch with lately, but now that things are starting to get even worse he's making more of an effort to get in touch with people. One of those people is Lumina. He doesn't want to worry her or anything...but she's Lumina. He's assuming she might be one of the few people who still has some spark left in her anyway.]
So where are you now?
