Bonjour, mes amis.

[ Faintly sing-song, but in a drawling and subdued way. It doesn't do to sound too chipper and excited about asking people semi-invasive questions. ]

I have been talking to the Seneschal, and we thought—well, it's possible we might need a fraternization policy. Or a record, at least, in case it becomes a problem later. And to decide whether that is necessary: information about fraternization.

[ It's obvious from his voice that he's pleased that that rhymes. ]

So who is together? Or involved, if together is a scary word.

Please feel very free to rat out your bashful friends.

[ As an afterthought, ]

If you have opinions about the policy or record part, I will take those, too.

Who is Ellie?

[notathreat]

Oh, harsh. My heart belongs to you.

[She managed to get that all out without laughing, but just barely.]

[justashotaway]

[ A pause, considering (and perhaps swallowing a bite of her lunch). ]

...You may keep it.

[notathreat]

Dude.

[Hey, seneschal? I'd like to report a murder.]

[justashotaway]

What?

[notathreat]

It's like saying "geeze" or "oh wow".

[Doesn't sound much put out, though- she's not that great about the acting bit.]

[illithidnapped]

Don't worry, darling, I'm sure she's just trying to avoid any messy confrontations when it comes to love triangles.

Very volatile things.

[And...he would know.]

[notathreat]

You're the worst. [Affectionate.]

[illithidnapped]

[Undoubtedly, despite being inaudible, a wink lives here.]
