"The country's called Noregr, but I don't think it's in this world."

"Her world has powers without demons and with other drawbacks that do not change with time, and she possesses a few such powers."

Permalink

Well, so long as she doesn't make trouble with them she can stay in one of the rooms near Lucette's suite.

Permalink

Lucette thanks her grandfather - she'll mention the stipend for a test subject later.

Permalink

"Thank you," Annie tells him.

Permalink

Of course.

They can leave after that. 

"Would you... like to pick out and settle into a room, or something else?" ... She really doesn't know how to be not awkward about having a sudden guest who's new to her world, apparently. Which is really unfair considering just how many different books on manners she's read. For some reason none of the authors saw fit to cover these circumstances.

Permalink

"That probably makes sense, yes."

Permalink

Rooms. There are two of them near hers and one slightly further away but off the same hallway.

Permalink

"Will it bother you that my blindsense can - it goes right through walls."

Permalink

"I don't have anything particularly private in my room? I suppose if you can read using it I'd prefer you don't read my notes without asking."

Permalink

"I can't read with it."

Permalink

"Well than I don't particularly see a problem."

Permalink

"Okay." In that case she picks a room right next to Lucette's.

Permalink

As she wishes.

"I... don't have anything else pressing to attend to if there's something else you'd like help with relating to your move-in?"

Permalink

"I'll need to know things like - where to go when I'm hungry, things like that? - I don't mean to be any trouble, you've been more than generous already."

Permalink

"I have a private room I've been taking my meals in, you are welcome to share, I'll let the staff know to prepare the additional meals. I suppose I should also show you to the kitchen in case you want to ask a cook for food at a non-standard meal time."

Permalink

"I'm not especially snackish, if it'd be inconvenient."

Permalink

 

"Does... Hrm....I can't tell whether you are avoiding being inconvenient because of the mind control or if it's just your general disposition."

Permalink

"...it's the mind control but it's the mind control making me care really quite a lot about your convenience, not mind control making me do things that do not contribute toward my goals as they currently stand."

Permalink

"Is it only my convenience?" 

Permalink

"No, your well-being in general, but aspects of it other than your convenience aren't obviously in my sphere of influence right now."

Permalink

"Oh I mean - things like you eating additional meals or snacks are not going to matter to me, and in fact I would prefer you have them if you want to. But it's possible you could inconvenience the cook some very small amount, even though providing food is what they are paid for."

Permalink

"I'm not in love with the cook."

Permalink

Probably this was an obvious chain of reasoning, but Lucette really has no idea how a woman being in love with her works.

"Well, then I imagine if you want to snack it would not be an issue."
