I...am doing better. Thank you for asking.

Sorry about anything I might have said that upset you. I didn't mean it.

Private

[young_idealist]

You're forgiven, if you can forgive me.

Are you terribly busy?

Private

[autistic_genius]

I'm not. What can I do for you?

I need a friendly but uninvolved opinion about... my friendship with Rose Tyler. It's been misinterpreted, and now I am seriously worried that I have mistaken her modern enthusiastic ways for something it isn't and have crossed a forbidden line. No young lady of my time would behave as she has done, but I was given to understand that it was completely proper in her culture, and I responded in kind. Now I am not so sure that I have behaved well. I'm afraid for the young lady's reputation, her standing with her own love, and my own reputation.

Mlle. Tyler,

I do worry, for I think you are very valuable here, and it would wound me to see you hurt. If I see you, in the hallways or the cafeteria, please don't begrudge me a few moments to exchange a few words. I do miss our talks, and so long as we aren't in private, perhaps we can speak a little.

As you wish.

Of course it's still open.

Private

Thank you, monsieur. When would be a good time?

Private

[nobelprez]

Oh, any old time, really. My inmate has been quiet lately because he now has aspirations of being a warden, so I don't have a whole lot to do.

Private

At your convenience then.
