Yeah. I mean, she's havin' trouble dealing with all this just like a lot of the kids, but she still went and told me she was gonna "look after me" or something, now.
No kidding? Never woulda guessed. She struck me as shy and self conscious but not that much. I told her she reminded me of a princess I know and she got all excited.
[When Ange was impressed he downplayed it but he's trying to accomplish something different here, so;]
Well sure. When her highness decided ta go out and see the world, both the Empire and Guild Union wanted ta keep an eye on her. And I'm the Don's go-to guy fer important jobs like that.
[ She blinks at him-- apparently Dorothy is still more used to being the social butterfly who wants to get to know people than being asked questions herself. ]
That's right-- I suppose you'd technically call me something like a dorm mother, but I prefer mature older sister instead. Ange is just one of the girls I help look after.
No need ta worry about all that when we can drink, though! [He's gonna hustle up to his room to get the wine, since he assumes it would be far too forward to invite Dorothy up there with him....]

no subject
[ ... Look, Dorothy is here for a good story. ]
no subject
Yeah. I completed the job I was given.
[One of them.]
What about you, Dorothy darling? Fer you to be watching over Ange, do ya work at her school or something?
no subject
That's right-- I suppose you'd technically call me something like a dorm mother, but I prefer mature older sister instead. Ange is just one of the girls I help look after.
no subject
[Nodding.]
The kids here more or less work than what yer used to?
no subject
Okay. ]
I would say more, but that's mostly because the girls I worked with didn't tend to have to contend with murder.
no subject
[SIGHS.]
We'll just have ta hope that was a one time thing.
[Haha fat chance.]
no subject

no subject
ALAS, HE DIDN'T ASK. ]
no subject
I knew it was a good idea ta hold onto this fer a bit.
no subject
[ But honestly happy, she loves having a drinking buddy. ]
no subject
And I can't think of many people here that're lovelier company here than you, Dorothy darling.
[Working on getting this cork out of the bottle.]
no subject
[ Prove her wrong. ]
no subject
[He says this in a tone that suggests he's not actually hurt. Just dramatic.]
no subject
Well, it's true that you happened to choose very good company.
no subject
[Anyway he's got the wine open so now he's pouring it in a glass for Dorothy first, and then himself.]
