Once, I think, and very briefly. I would recognize him by sight, but I could not claim to know him.

[dancingmd]

[She smiles.]

Well, I really need to fix that, for multiple reasons. Daneel is my...romantic partner.

[Hopefully that will avoid the cultural confusion she incurred with Maglor.]

And since you are two of the most important people in the fleet to me, I would like for you to meet. But, more to the point of our discussion, Daneel is an empath. In his world, such abilities are unheard of and if he were exposed… [She looks away for a moment. It’s horrible to think about, Daneel being deactivated and destroyed. How anyone could ever look at him and see something to fear is almost inconceivable to her, strong as her own love for him is. She takes a deep breath before looking at Finrod again.] Let’s just say it’s not safe for him to be open about what he can do. Yet this is a new ability for him and I think it would help him understand his own capabilities much better if he could talk to someone else who is familiar with such things.

[faithfulwisdom]

I did not realize! I am glad that you have found each other.

[But as Finrod continues to listen, his smile fades into a more serious expression. After a moment, he nods.]

I understand; people are wont to fear what they cannot comprehend. [That seems to be true in any world, unfortunately.] I would be glad to speak with him, if he also wishes it.

[dancingmd]

He does, he very much does. It means a lot to both of us, thank you.

Wrap up?

[faithfulwisdom]

Of course. I will look forward to meeting him.

yep!

[dancingmd]

[Pleased that he will do this for Daneel, Beverly’s smile is bright and happy as the music draws to an end. She takes a step back and curtsies.]

We’ll have to do this again sometime.

[faithfulwisdom]

[And he gives an elegant sweeping bow in return.]

It would be a pleasure.
