You like me?

[fairforce]

Of course I do! That can't be a surprise.

[bouchonne]

Well, no. I'm the embodiment of charm. But I'm also so delighted you just said so, just like that. Most people I talk to tend to be quite coy about their likes.

[fairforce]

[The embodiment of charm. She laughs.]

I'd be a pretty poor Seeker of Truth if I was withholding truths from you. Have you considered you need to start conversing with different people?

[bouchonne]

Absolutely not. I'd get kicked out of the Lowlifes Club, and that's my favorite group of scoundrels.

[fairforce]

Oh, so you're only moonlighting with me?

[bouchonne]

With you and a few others. That's right. Speaking of which, would it be all right if I invited Bastien along?

[fairforce]

Of course. He hasn't-- [what was the phrasing] --done blood lotus?

[bouchonne]

I don't believe he has. And he's good company besides. Would you call him a friend, yet?

[fairforce]

I don't know that I know him well enough for that just yet, but I do like what I know of him. And I suppose there's really no time like the present. If you don't think he'd mind being friends with a Seeker of Truth, that is.

[bouchonne]

On the contrary. He's hungry for all knowledge. I imagine, whatever you tell him about, he'll eat up with a spoon. You'll really enjoy him.

[fairforce]

I can't think of a better recommendation. I'm looking forward to it, as shocking as that might be.

[bouchonne]

Quality time with the most attractive and witty members of Riftwatch? Who wouldn't look forward to that?

[fairforce]

Is he as modest as you, or are you making up for something?

[bouchonne]

He actually is rather modest.

[ Fondly - ]

Bordering on self-effacing. It's adorable.

[fairforce]

[She can't help herself from saying,] Aww, [but at least she has the grace to murmur it. Look, it's cute, okay, who could expect her to control herself!]

That makes for good balance. One of you demure, the other full ego...

[bouchonne]

[ Laughing - ]

You're not allowed to say that!

[fairforce]

Mm. Can, actually. As a Seeker of Truth.

[bouchonne]

[ Warmly: ]

I find myself defeated.

See you soon.
