[illuminescent]

I do not think so.

But I am more aware of such things.

[dendarii]

A little of both, then. He is my liege lord - I trust he explained the need for secrecy?

[illuminescent]

I will tell no one, not even the Musketeers.

Please do know you may trust me with such things.

[dendarii]

[ That makes him feel a little worse, knowing that she's still not getting the whole story ... but he nods. ]

Are these Musketeers your companions then?

[illuminescent]

Yes. Athos, d'Artagnan, and Porthos. They serve another king, in their own land, but here they are kind enough to provide me with their care.

[dendarii]

They may very well miss the gap. You likely provide a comfort to them.

[illuminescent]

I should hope that I do, as they provide great comfort to me.

[dendarii]

Are you the only one from your world then? None of your royal siblings?

[illuminescent]

Yes. I am quite alone, to my great sadness.

[dendarii]

... My condolences. I admit I'm not sure what I would do without Gregor here.

[illuminescent]

I was very lonely until they rescued me.

I think sometimes I must be a dreadful nuisance but I could not allow them to abandon me.

[dendarii]

... I understand completely. To feel dependent, surely nothing but trouble, and yet ...

[illuminescent]

Yes, you do understand.

[dendarii]

[ Ha. She'd have seen through Miles too, he's sure of it. ]

The only thing I can say to that ... is to trust them, with all your heart. It is the only balm worth having.

[illuminescent]

On that matter, you should have no worries.

[dendarii]

Not to worry about you? Or I shouldn't worry about myself?

[illuminescent]

Well, about me.

I cannot say about yourself.

[dendarii]

And here I thought Greg might have said something.

[illuminescent]

I do not think the honorable would speak ill against you.

[dendarii]

That's precisely what I mean.

[illuminescent]

Is it?

[She's giggling now.]

[dendarii]

That I shouldn't worry because he had only good things to say about me. And so on.

[illuminescent]

Well. I do not know him so well. Perhaps he will tell me your secrets the second time.

[dendarii]

My secrets, eh? You've already had enough out of us I fear.

[illuminescent]

Oh, no.

Now you are doomed.
