What did you want to talk about?

[hearthebell]

It's about the coming undertaking.

I'm not permitted near your home, and certainly not on the boat. Please look after Paul; I can't, until you're all back ashore.

[peripheries]

Of course I will. I'll always look after him.

...Is it because you get seasick?

[hearthebell]

It's because the measures I've taken to protect Paul do not always agree with the head of your house. I wouldn't have been invited, no matter who had vouched for me, or how fervently.

I'm deeply concerned about him. And you; you must try to stay safe until you reach shore again.

[peripheries]

I won't let anything happen to him. I'll always protect him. With everything I have. Perhaps we have different views on things but we agree on that.

[hearthebell]

Yes; in fact we do.

I know he cares about you deeply. Anyone with eyes would, to be honest.

[peripheries]

Oh.

So he didn't say anything about it?

[hearthebell]

I don't pry into those kinds of private matters; I just observe what's less private.

It's not a way you're careful, so I don't suppose you mind having it known.

[peripheries]

Of course I want everyone to know. That's the point.

[hearthebell]

It's great that you're proud of your relationship. Keeping those things secret would be a lot of work, and probably not even worth it.
