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.

Hold on, the barebones ideas are one thing, some gleeful editing another, but I'd be doing the actual writing, which I would suggest is the actual heavy lifting. There has to be an actual progressing story, or at least the appearance of one, background and secondary characters, changes to locations and names--to spare the real people their dignity, of course.

Sixty-fourty. Still favors you and your brilliant mind.

Seventy. You're basking in all the glory, after all.

That comes with benefits; things I won't be afforded, hard work and all.

[favoriteanalyst]

I guess being as infamous as the Randy Dowager would have benefits to offset not seeing near as many sovereigns as I ought to...

Or I could steal all your ideas and rush off to do it all on my own and reap every benefit. Hm!

[A 'mortified' gasp:]

You filthy thing! You wouldn't dare.
