"I mean, necessity was in there." She considers him for a moment, maybe trying to gauge why he's asking. "There was some momentum to it, since I was already Tony's assistant. But I guess also ... I believe in what we're doing here. Riftwatch. And it's been important to me for years that rifters don't think of themselves as some other class of people just killing time until they vanish, you know?"

While she often talks with her hands, for this answer, she's relatively still. Thoughtful.

"We don't have that problem as much as we did years ago, but it doesn't never come up. And I think it's important. To show that I'm just as willing to give as much as I can to the cause as anyone else who is here. Both inside and outside the org." She shrugs. "If the best way I can help is coordinating the division, I'll do that. If sometime in the future, it makes sense to hand it off to someone else, I'll do that too."

A sigh, as she absently rubs her knee, not quite nervous energy but a bit of restlessness. "My personal knowledge set is really different than our last two provosts, but I think the main thing is zooming out and looking at all the projects we have going. Seeing what to prioritize, what may need to coordinate with the other divisions. Anyone organized enough who cares could do it. But not everyone is willing to." And she is, so she's here. It's maybe not the best answer, but it's the truth.
