“Do you miss Valerian, sometimes?” I asked, my hand under my chin, comfortable as if we'd known each other a very long time.

“Yes,” I said without having to think. “I miss my friends still there, and I miss the assignations.” I smiled. “I wouldn’t go back though.”

If she had friends and enjoyed the assignations, I couldn't think of anything, save the fear that she might be hurt again by a patron. Unless...
“Do you feel more free, in the Duchesse's service?”

I thought for a moment, tilted my head slightly. “I guess I do, but I hadn’t thought about it before. I have more purpose in the Duchess’s service,” I answered.

“Then perhaps you found your calling,” I replied with a little smile. “What kind of woman is the Duchesse?”

“Kind but firm and fair,” I answered. “She is a marvelous woman, so smart and clever.” I chuckled and shook my head a little. “I’m a bit enamored, can you tell?”

I smiled, then, a bit more brightly. “Are you? It's a good thing to find such warmth,” I replied. “Do you feel that she returns your sentiment?”

My mind went to the times I’d knelt at her feet, my head in her lap as she softly stroked my hair and I smiled. “Yes, I believe she does.”

“My congratulations, then,” I replied with a small smile. “I wish you much happiness.”
It seemed to me, she could use some.

“Thank you,” I replied, still smiling. “And I wish you happiness on your quest. When will you leave?”

“On the morrow,” I replied. “I'll need to... handle some matters first.”
Really, since I had no staff, my salon was little trouble. I'd have to slip the key to a friend, and I had just the right person in mind for it.

Struck by inspiration, I slipped the bracelet from my wrist and offered it to her.
“Take this, it’s agate and is said to bring you protection,” I told her, smiling. “When you come back to the city we can go to dinner and you can tell me everything that happened.”

I was so touched by Douleur's spontaneous show of friendship that I had to force my mouth shut, lest I stutter like a debutante. “--- oh, Douleur, that's --” I blushed further, smiled, reached first for her hand, then to embrace her spontaneously. “-- you're so kind, Elua – thank you. I would love to have dinner with you upon my return, and – of course, I'll return your token, to be sure, it's – I'll keep it safe.”

I returned her embrace, hugging her tightly. I hoped she not only stayed safe, but found what she was looking for.
“I know you will,” I said with a smile. “You be safe as well and my Elua watch over you.”

I felt a bit overly emotional – it was so magic that I would have found a friend, when I'd ocme for answers.
“Thank you, Douleur. Thank you so much. I will return, and tell you everything.”
[OOC: Good to end scene on yours? ^^]

"I look forward to it," I told her, smiling. I gave her another hug and then sat back as she left to start her quest.
[ooc i'm good to end here]
