( 'he kept me company when all I could do was sit in bed sewing' paints one picture, and 'because a wyvern had fucked up my leg while I was getting supplies for an illicit attempt to undo Tranquility' another entirely. she says neither, though she thinks about it. )

Probably. Yeah.

But that's—I wouldn't make you be around him just because I trust him. You don't. Guilfoyle can be with you any time I'm not. Coupe pauses when he's in a room.

I don't think I know Coupe well enough for that to mean anything to me.

[elegiaque]

He's very good at what he does.

[rathercommon]

And what is it that he does?

[elegiaque]

( a sort of verbal shrug— ) Whatever I ask him to.

He's a retired assassin who was my lord's gentleman, he did...everything. I've been trying to find him more relaxing work than he used to do, frankly, but bodyguarding is well within his remit.

[rathercommon]

Well - I mean - all right. If you think he's trustworthy.

[elegiaque]

Then it's settled. You'll come and stay with us, and Guilfoyle will make sure you're not left alone.

[rathercommon]

Unless I want to be.

[elegiaque]

Unless you want to be, ( graciously. )
