I haven't been speaking to anyone, but I just found out that you're not planning to attend the Swear-In at the beach! I know you're quite the formal sort, but you can't be coming off as a dull little somatic cell to the people who you're going to lead, they need something to perk them up now and then. And after the awful string of recent Swear-Ins, this one had better go perfectly or I swear I'm going to genebreak the next troublemaker so thoroughly, they'll be more closely related to a mango tree!
[ Oh. Ohh. Well that's a better accusation than fending off stupid rumors. Amusement softens the confusion. ]
I am certain everything will go well. The Gala was enough of a spectacle that it would be overkill to ruin the Swear In. I'll confess, I am more of a Northerner at heart and do not enjoy the heat of summer. Nor is my body suited for such a state of public undress. But that is not the reason I will not be in attendance.
[ A pause, and then appreciative: ]
Loathe as I would be to miss you turning someone into a fruit bearing tree. And you do look exquisite. Naturally, you must know that.
I've seen all of your body and I think it's just as suited for anyone's, but as I said before, if you're self-conscious about that scar, I can hide it for a little bit for you.
[ She runs a hand over her hair at the compliment, smiling. ]
Why thank you! I confess it's going to be very hard to go home to Riesling where we don't have any place to wear this sort of thing.
[ He gives her a little smile after her offer, but neither accepts nor denies. ]
All the more reason for you to enjoy this world while you're here, my lady. And enjoy the sun on your skin. The people. The attention you will receive. I've little doubt you will be the most stunning woman on that beach.
You do make a tempting offer. Should my meeting with Doctor Chilton take less time than anticipated, I will be certain to make an appearance for your sake alone. I do hope you have a lovely time.

In any case, I do hope you reconsider coming down, but if not, I suppose I will see you later.
