I've been remiss in checking on you.
How goes the contract hunt?

I have one other concern and he is well cared for.
I am sorry to hear that, you seemed like you were getting on.

How are you, my dear?

If you need a Dominant to press someone for you, you know that you can call on me.

[Honestly, it's the least he can do at this point.]

And you know I will offer you a contract if you find yourself in need.
I don't want you trapped down there, or worse.

I am not sure either of us could rein him in if we tried.
Is there something in particular you're worried about?


[A pause, and a sigh.]

Has he said anything to you?

I suspect it's because he has a much larger audience here.
And I do not think you could possibly cause more strife than there already is.


[Just negotiating a contract had been an ordeal, never mind the rest.]

He hasn't given me any real cause to worry. Not yet.

I think my good graces are far more reliable than his.
And, given our situation here, possibly more important.
I am disappointed he doesn't seem to recall your... getting closer, as I was preparing to leave again.

And we both know how fragile the Chevalier is.

Sane companionship?

[She's seen them together, she knows exactly how dramatic this relationship can be.]

For both of us, if I'm quite honest.

I believe your word of choice was "turkeys."

[He's smiling, at least.]

What sort of occupation are you looking for?

You are not without skill.

Was it? I'm sure you could find something... crafty to do.

Hardly sounds like the worst way to spend time.

But I mean if, there has to be someone here willing to apprentice if you want to learn a new skill.

Of course I will.
If it is any consolation, I find myself looking for work as well.
The stipend I get is liveable, but the Chevalier is expensive.

I don't know if he would apply himself with any vigor if either of us were to suggest it.

I'm afraid it's going to have to be his idea. Or it will have to seem to be.

Especially himself.
I do have faith in him... he can be terribly enterprising when he is motivated.


[he was running a drug ring out of Versailles, for God's sake.]

But until then, finances are tighter than I'd like.
And it would make bringing in another contract... difficult.
The city is quite clear that one must be able to support one's entire household.

I know that you would.
If anything, you have probably been the most useful person in this triad of ours.

I don't want you to suffer, Liselotte.
I know that the Down itself is designed for that, but please know you may call on me.

Did you miss my face that much, my darling?

Yes, we can certainly arrange that. I... have also been remiss. Especially given your current circumstances.

[He should be better for her. To her.]

I would like that. And, honestly, the least I can do is make sure you have something decent to eat as often as possible.

I don't think they can be any less complicated. And you don't deserve to have been brought so low.
