"I...accept? Do I have to say anything?"

"...I dunno. I don't think the people on TV went on that long. But I'm going to say that counts."

She tugs him up and kisses him.

Aaaaahhh he loves her! So much!

She loves him too! Best fairy knight ever!!

Valentine is poking at the books from the Library of Alexandria. She's found one in Latin and is alternating between looking through it and making sure she's not in anybody's way.

"Is she...okay," he says to Korva.

"I don't think so. She was, like, enslaved by devils, or something."

"...moreso than you?"

"I was a subject of a crown that had made a pact with devils."

"Ends the same way! - I guess the middle could be pretty different."

"Well, neither of us have met our end yet, have we."

"Does she need anything that anyone can ...do."

"I guess if I were her I'd want... friends. Some indication that the people I was stuck with cared what happened to me. I'm not entirely sure how to give that to her."

"I don't actually know how to make friends with women."

- she laughs.

" - sorry. I shouldn't laugh, I don't know how to make friends with anyone."

"Making friends with men is pretty easy! You ask them about their lives and listen to their answers and worry about them and - let them know you're worrying about them -"

" - and you expect this doesn't work with women?"

"No! Because they're not going to tell you about their lives and it's rude and prying to ask and they will probably assume you have intentions!"

"...I would say 'is it possible that this only applies to Osirian women', but I think in Cheliax it might apply to everyone. 

"She's not from either, regardless."

"Do you know anything about the customs where she's from?"

"She's from Earth. I'm guessing more like Queen Elizabeth's experience of it than like Cecelia's. I guess we could ask Matt for specifics."

"I'm suspicious of the fairies."

"I'm suspicious of everyone. If you don't want to ask questions of anybody fairy I guess there's - well, Elizabeth, but we gave her the day off. There's her sister. I don't think Cecelia will get you any closer. Alex mentioned knowing about the organization she worked for, I guess he might also know other things."

He nods. He looks down. It is unclear whether he is praying or telepathically contacting Alex.
