Doesn't sound like something you have much control in. Does that frustrate you?

[And she is at least afforded a little more honesty than he gives most people. ]

Sometimes. Especially when he locked himself away from everyone. Things...they are hopeful now? Assuming all goes well with the young woman who is living in the castle currently. We are just gently nudging things along.

[norwaysown]

[ She'll take honesty. She likes honesty. ]

Can't interfere too much, even when it's your own destiny on the line as much as theirs?

[servantnotserving]

Hm. Love is such a delicate thing, even more so, given the Master's... situation. We nudge, we encourage, but we do not want her to be scared away. She is our last chance.

[norwaysown]

If she doesn't fall in love with him, then you're trapped forever?

[servantnotserving]

Essentially.

[He says that with no small degree of reluctance. He's been powering through on hope alone. If he lets it dwindle...well, nothing good can come of it. ]

But, should that not work, I am hoping someone on the Fleet will be able to give me an answer.

[norwaysown]

I hope so.

If I can be of assistance, I'm happy to help.

[ And not only because a human crewmember sounds more useful than a candlestick. Not even mostly because of that, even if that's the reason she would give if questioned. ]

[servantnotserving]

[Aww, Signy. He offers her a small smile. ]

Merci, ma cherie. That is most appreciated.

[norwaysown]

That applies to anything else you need, if it comes up.

[ There, now that that's taken care of she's going to return her attention to the ship. ]

[servantnotserving]

I shall bear that in mind.

[Well, baby steps. He's actually impressed she got this far. He'll go back to his book for now. Good job, Signy, you managed an entire pleasant conversation with a member of your crew. Gold star. ]
