Thank you, Lae'zel. Truly.
[ To be honest about his appreciation for that small human kindness and her effort in bringing it to him, for just what those few words struck in his heart, would likely be to embarrass her.
But still, he's not about to let the moment pass by without some acknowledgement. ]
And I also thank you for your concern. You are a worthy friend, and I am more thankful every day that we met. [ failed step 1 ] It could be as you say, perhaps. But I am not sure that it could be as you say for me. She has been my all for so long, I struggle to imagine involving myself with someone who would not know her.
[Of being called out like this, that is. Of all this kindhearted sentiment. They are allies, yes. That does not make them friends, no matter how much Sir Godfrey may claim it.
Those sharp teeth of hers clench, an unpleasant warmth traveling through verdant skin. Lae'zel can feel her heart hardening once more as she reads the rest of his message. She supposes she should be grateful that Godfrey does not linger on the subject for long. A sharp exhale through upturned nostrils punctuates her reply.]
As I have said, you are a formidable ally. This is why I choose to fight among your ranks. That and the common goal we share. A cure. Do not lose sight of it.
But understand this as well, priest. There is no shame in desiring someone for yourself. Even if the one you pledged yourself to is no longer of this plane. But I will not tolerate indecision. The longer you remain distracted, the less use you will serve to me. Or your child. Or anyone.
[Man, these githyanki pep talks could really use some work, huh?]
Consider your options, then act. Or do nothing.
[Chk. Still not satisfying. Another quick sending.]
Do as you like. It is none of my concern.
[You were the one who started this whole interrogation in the first place, Lae'zel...]

I suppose I have some thinking to do.

[ We all know the last thing Lae'zel would ever do is care. ]
Well, I think we have both well and truly had enough conversation about me.
Though perhaps whilst we're discussing our companions, we might discuss your thoughts on them.
no subject
Very well.
What of them?
no subject
I wanted to see if you had anything to say regarding your own.
no subject
Could that be the source of tension you noticed?
no subject
It had rather seemed to me that the two of you had put that behind yourselves, but perhaps not. And so, I thought to ask after it.
