Watching her dress he can see on her face when there are the little pains when she moves wrong, when the mark is scraped and the pain she tries to hide when she is done.  Listening to her words he smiles and says, "I'll bend on that then if that is indeed what you want, but you need to take the gifts that were left by Amery.  Raymond should have what is his."<br/><br/>Stepping to her he put's his arm around her and kisses her deeply, in this she is not given the choice.  When he takes his lips from hers he says, "The night after next is the next meeting", he says as he hands her the gift for Raymond and the jar of balm he had used earlier, "I would not object to seeing you before that, but you've duties to attend to as well."<br/><br/>Taking her to the door he opens it for her and, this time with a sweet kiss of friends he smiles and says, "There are ways to find me, to get a message to me, you've seen the notes in the maproom of where things are hidden.  I will be looking forward to seeing you again."
