[sageguidance]

Well, I'd rather it be for good reasons than bad. And believe me, I've had both happen!

[feminitis]

...it'd be nice if people would stop lying to you.

[sageguidance]

[ that— ]

Erm, yes, but once again I must assure you I am not angry. Surprised, yes, and perhaps a little embarrassed over so quick an assumption...

But the way I see it now, 'tis not as though I had any true confirmation of the staff's identity until the contracts were found, correct? For most of that time, I spoke with someone who, for all I knew, was simply but a stranger.

[feminitis]

...well, yes... and even in that case, finding them wouldn't have been much help in ascertaining who we actually are, since we put them away to make things a little safer for you...

[sageguidance]

Correct. Therefore... As it turns out you are not Lila, but that does not change that I enjoyed your company as well.

[feminitis]

[whew...]

I'm very glad to hear that.

[sageguidance]

So pray, fret no more. Were it at all possible, I imagine it would not have come down to this.

[feminitis]

Thank you.

[she seems very relieved.]

...how are things over there? Did anything odd happen to you all today?

[sageguidance]

You mean aside from the sudden lovers' quarrels?

[ said dryly, but he's joking ]

I have naught else to report. Not from today, that is.

[feminitis]

...oh, boy.

[sei is suddenly very glad she's not dead.]

Do you have something to report from other days...?

[sageguidance]

[ a nod ]

Yesterday, I thought about taking a long walk—to relieve myself of some pent up energy, mind—and a few others, feeling similarly, decided to join me.

Unfortunately there was a snow storm that only grew worse as we pressed on, and ultimately we simply ended back at the manor... [ he trails off, then finishes some volumes lower: ] But I believe, were it not for the storm, we were quite close to reaching the hotel.

[feminitis]

[oh... hm. that actually does seem to surprise her, and she nods thoughtfully.]

...I see. Then that's - something to keep in mind, isn't it?

[sageguidance]

Yes. Coupled with another answer we received ere the journey, I do not think it is to be taken lightly.
