Ever the good girl, my sweet Mikaela. I knew he would allow you into his home to sit upon the hearth.

... Shall I, perhaps, allow for another baptism for more mettle of the body?

It's so amazing, Alexis...

... I may need one.

[maitre_de_carte]

Quite, dear girl.

Then it shall be arranged. Merely afford me but a few days.

[bride_bereft]

Mm... I'll try not to go out too much before then-

Alexis, Suzette was so stupid.

[maitre_de_carte]

I feel I must agree with you, my dear.

[bride_bereft]

She could have had him! And she went for some Stupid-

Ugh!

She makes this hard!

Patience, my dear - merely work upon him your magic, bring him around, and soon "Suzette" may, herself, come to her senses.

... It's hard not to do it right now.

I love him so much, Alexis.

Now, now, perseverance and hard work are how best to sway one to the title of lover - certainly, cutting corners will not guarantee you of him in this scenario.

"Suzette" has to realize that her stupid man didn't lover her-

That Cain did, and-

Brava, my dear. Perseverance, as I had stated.

[bride_bereft]

... It's hard.

Now, now, there - keep your spirits up for me, won't you? It shall not seem as taxing upon you once your baptism comes again.

[bride_bereft]

But I hate the baptisms, too...

Mm. I'll be strong.

There's my girl, my darling.

I'll do well, Alexis! Even if it takes... weeks! Months, even!
