I don't want them to know it's me asking. [He feels the 'in your own words' was implied.]

Will you tell me how you phrase them? [He might have a slight obsession with exact wording, but it's not without reason.]

[deuceoftears]

I'll let you see the conversations in full unless they tell me something in confidence that isn't relevant to your question.

[mandrakeroot]

That's reasonable. [He smiles slightly.] And if you have a useful question, I might be able to ask.

[deuceoftears]

I appreciate your magnanimity, O benevolent one.

[mandrakeroot]

[As he should. Nathaniel generally doesn't believe in concessions unless someone's life is on the line. Preferably the person on the other side of the deal.]

Now it just depends if anyone says something interesting. [Unusual.]

[deuceoftears]

I expect there will be long lulls and then flurries of drama.

[mandrakeroot]

As always.

[He stands up.] I suppose a verbal contract will have to do.

[deuceoftears]

I do pretty decent calligraphy, but it would be stupid to leave a record.

[Sadly. He has so few uses for his calligraphy.]

Pleasure doing business with you.

[mandrakeroot]

[The very thought of a written record is, of course, unthinkable.]

You too.

[deuceoftears]

Be well.

[Jedao holds Nat and brother equally tightly behind his teeth.]
