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.

[It's a long time before she answers. Composure is important.]

Were probably a twat, her; no great loss.

[delphian]

( mild, reflective: ) Wasn't the way he remembered it.

[poleaxed]

[Another pause, though not as long.]

Take it from someone who was there. He got kicked in the head daily, like.

[delphian]

( probably not as much as he would have done without his sister, if tsenka had to guess. )

Well, best you turned me down, either way.

[poleaxed]

[A snort.] Mm, yeah. Bit too close to home, that.

Meet me in the courtyard, would you?

[delphian]

Not the fight I'm looking to have with him, to be sure.

( an exhalation, nearly a laugh. and: )

Yeah, all right. I'll be a tic.
