Thank you. Not presently, though I may direct someone your way should she wish to continue looking through my collection of notes. Her name is Heather Montgomery, should she call on you for access. I'm not... certain what I'll do now. I'll admit, I'm a bit lost at the moment.

[He'd had plans, including another business venture, and seeking another contract and more space with which to provide shelter and sequester weapons, but...]

But one must adapt.

[guylining]

[ That name's familiar. He'd talked to her once, and she'd more or less told him to fuck off, so there's that. ]

not sure she likes me. but, send her my way if she wants

your place in the up, are you able to stay there or what's going to happen? have they said anything?

[gascogne]

No? Unfortunate for her, I suppose.

[God, what is that woman doing to piss off his acquaintances when he'd been trying to help her with information? Jon, and now Nate.]

We've a day to vacate. I've personally no contention with that for myself, but I've concern for one of my contract partners. Daphne. She's a duchess and was previously contracted to her sister, spent not more than a day in the Down since she'd arrived over a year ago. I've contacted Madame Bridgerton to assist, but I don't know how it will turn out, and she'd be taken to the Subway, not the hotel.

[guylining]

i know, terrible judge of character really. i'm a delight

[ Dont you say otherwise d'Artagnan! ]

daphne bridgerton. she has a lot of family just arrived, you would've thought some of them would be doms
and if that ball's anything to go by she has a lot of friends
i'd offer if i hadn't just signed with someone.
what about you?

[gascogne]

Three of them are Dominants, and she'll certainly have help. She's gotten citations for housing violations before, and I fear that may be an issue should she not sign with one of her siblings and simply take up residence with them instead. I shouldn't be so concerned though, I know, only... I've done my best to shield her from things and provide her comforts... Perhaps I still consider her my responsibility.

I don't plan to sign until I've need to, much as I had the first time.

[guylining]

am i shocked that you're more worried about other people when something bad happens to you? not really

i'll sign for stuff when you need it
or be an escort, or whatever
you can't not ask for things ok.dont just make do.

[gascogne]

I need not your sarcasm. Perhaps I brought it on myself, voicing my complaints with my position.

Thank you, but I doubt it will be necessary. I've an employer to ask for permissions, and I don't plan to venture to the Up frequently at all. I will, however, accept such... escorting, should I've need of it.

[Will he ask, though? No.]

[guylining]

who's being sarcastic, i'm being totally genuine

if i say be careful will you listen even a little bit?

[gascogne]

Are you? Forgive my presumption.

Well, I'm disinclined to now.

[guylining]

as in, im not shocked that you're not worried about yourself

so someone has to be.

[gascogne]

I know. That was a rhetorical acknowledgement.

[Texting is a perilous endeavour.]

And that was sarcasm on my part, the disinclination. I mean not to be difficult.

[Intent is just that, however.]

[guylining]

i don't mean to be either

i'm sorry this happened to you.
i'm sorry about the wand, too.

[gascogne]

Thank you. I've got things well in hand, I promise you. A minor inconvenience in the end.

[Perhaps a bit more than that, but nothing Nate need concern himself with.]

[guylining]

you always do

don't be a stranger please. if this was some elaborate plan to get out of our lunches, i think you'll find it's failed.

[gascogne]

All that work for nothing.

[guylining]

such a shame

A for effort, though
