seeking one of many male protectors

Now that she has learned that magic appears to involve a great deal of impending doom paired with next to no ability to act, Miranda is significantly less enthused about the idea. She is in the garden now, tearing absently at a leaf, eyes downcast.

Not male protector! Number two.

Caliban has been spending more time outdoors, and that's how he happens upon her. "Oh - hey, Miranda," he says, trying for a little smile. He's troubled as well, and bad at hiding it, but he does try for her.

He nods, a bit. "Yeah, I think it is. Means you don't miss much, right?"

"O, but that is not so, sir. There is much I do not understand."

"Well, understanding's something else."

"Yeah - I can see something without getting what it means, can't I?"

"That is so," she agrees thoughtfully.

He nods. "So you see a lot. You don't always get it, but you see it and you can make sense of it later. Right?"

"That is true." And she smiles brightly.

That smile really is contagious. He finds one and smiles back. "So there you go."

He looks embarrassed. "Who, me? Nah."

"No, sir, 'tis true."

He looks more embarrassed. "Well - um, thank you."

"I shall not say it, an it displeases you."

"Oh - oh Christ, no, it doesn't displease me, it's just...I'm not really used to it, that's all."
