[ At that... she actually laughs. A trill of a thing, perhaps releasing a little tension. ]

For how much everyone praises me these days you'd think I was some great catch either! [ She shakes her head. ] No, Albert, I've appreciated all of it, and for how muted you can come off, I don't think it's hard hard to read your intent into things. We've both benefited from the arrangement we had, and friendship... well, that's a whole other matter, and it's nice.

It is, certainly.

[And that much does seem genuine; he's appreciated it, how things have been since all of that.]

[matchbreaker]

Good.

[ . . . ]

I'll be counting on you, I'm sure, in December. That's... it's not been a pleasant month for me in some time.

...Anything you need, then. Of course.

[matchbreaker]

Good!

... I hope Retrospec doesn't blow up the city or something on top of it all then. Or maybe have reindeer run over peoples' grandmothers.

[ Which like..... is he in on it? she's genuinely not sure. ]

[manufactured]

Which really just raises more questions than it answers, doesn't it.

[it's not precisely a question.]

[matchbreaker]

...No, it does. At this point, I'm merely not sure if the office is in on it or he is or... what. It's honestly quaint-feeling at this point that I discovered that connection in the planetarium all those months ago, or that there's a hidden library under the university.
