I believe I did meet you once, many months ago. Welcome back. I know a few other people here who would be grateful for the chance to talk to a scientifically-minded person such as yourself.

[la_baronne]

Welcome back then, monsieur. I have just returned myself. Lovely to have you back!

[nitricnotes]

*nods, the smile rather disappearing*

Lord Henry.

[visiblemystery]

As pleasantly sociable as ever, I see.

[nitricnotes]

Indeed.

*curtseys* a pleasure, sir. I do hope your travels were interesting.

[nitricnotes]

*bows slightly* They were nothing of importance, but rather enjoyable, all the same.
