1. Loki and Sephiroth will have some trouble getting in touch with old Mayor West – not particularly from the standpoint of being able to find him, but an silly little issue of scheduling. For a retired mayor, it seems like he's ridiculously hard to catch. When they do finally catch up to him, he tries to hurry back into his house from the porch before they catch him. He'll be reluctant to talk; he's not cagey, just tired.
With a suffering sigh he'll tell them yes, there were fluctuations in the ley line energy during that time, mostly related to the precarious nature of Sunset Falls. He was the one who went to work with the ley lines to stabilize the energy. Once Loki took the mantle as Mayor, his duty to Sunset Falls was relieved.
As for Kate, he can't account fully for her whereabouts. She was in Little Love, Kansas, following up with a client. He'll mention that she had been particularly nostalgic at that time, talking about the "golden days of metahumans" on vlog after vlog. During that time, she had been dating a big name hero, and he attributed to that. He'll then confess that he had no idea that she was Chaos Gate, though he suspects that his absence as Mayor may have lead to her feeling neglected in some way. At this point, he'll start to shut down the conversation, and he won't be very willing to invite them back.
2. Unfortunately, Eros does not have the energy to spare to strengthen those wards. The light of love and tangle of relationships hasn't really been at the forefront of people's minds, lately. In his weakened state, he can't offer Loki anything. Loki will have to make do with what he can, himself. Hellmouth is Loki's responsibility now.
