[ Red?? ]

I believe they fare well, considering.
Fortunately, their abode has been unaffected by the chaos outside.

[persistor]

[ Look one of them is JJ who is the most normie, her feelings towards Cam are TBD (tm), and Fred is.... Fred. Color her curious. ]

... That's good. [ Probably. ]

If you need anything— let me know, yeah?

[cajolery]

[ That's more innocent than expected... ]

Likewise. I insist that you allow me to assist you, should you need help of any sort!
Your Mister Boxer fares well too, I trust?

[persistor]

[ SHE'S A LOT LESS SHADY THAN SHE NORMALLY ACTS OKAY ]

Yeah, I will. [ Though... ]

Just Boxer's fine, I think he's allergic to "Mister". [ Minute later— ]

... Actually, keep calling him that. He's doing fine.

[cajolery]

[ sounds fake ]

Ah, I see!
I suppose it is my habit, though I have noticed that the common people of this world and so many others are much more casual in their address.
'Tis quite fascinating!
But I am glad to hear that he is well.

[persistor]

What did they call you back at home?

[ Suddenly, out of curiosity. She has an idea — given the type of lessons Clair's had — but ... ]

[cajolery]

Why, Lady Clair or milady, of course! As is befitting.
My house is one of the oldest and most powerful in all of Valentia.

[ Was. ]

[persistor]

That explains the embroidery lessons. [ Whether she liked them or not. ]

I could call you milady, if you want.

[cajolery]

Don't be ridiculous!
My friends may use my given name.

[persistor]

It's an honor.

[ A second message, after some thought: ]

Milady. :)

[cajolery]

[ The joke ^ her head ]

But, why
But we are friends, of course!

[persistor]

[ Clair you're precious please never change. ]

Of course we are. [ She'll explain it maybe hope...fully.... ]

[cajolery]

There is no need to stand on such formality, I assure you!
In fact, I suppose I have become rather accustomed to its lack.
There is a far more... intimate feeling involved, no?
I can see why the peasants favor it!

[persistor]

[ She's only letting the peasant comment slide because she likes you, Clair. ]

Did you address anyone else by name before?

[cajolery]

Oh, yes.
Family and bosom friends, and the like.

[ And, of course, anyone beneath her in rank. Which probably explains why she defaults to first names here, now. ]

[persistor]

[ Ah, yes. ]

That makes sense.

I'm guessing it wasn't a lot. [ Just a guess. ]
