Not going to cry over this.

What's wrong?

Just something - oh it'd be hard to understand.

You're welcome to try me, but... I think it might be okay to cry. Sometimes it's all that can be done.

[Shakes her head.] I promised I'd stop getting too emotional about stuff.

This is just - a bit of a surprise.

You can try. I hope it's a good surprise.

I don't know what it is. Apparently someone tried to hire a friend of mine away from me and nobody told me about it.

Did your friend stay with you?

Don't wanna be crying. That's the best way to get your own back if someone's been a prick.

Yeah, just - it's a bit shocking. And scary. And it's strange that nobody thought I should know.

Well, he's a prick all of the time, but that's beside the point.

When people keep things from me it's because they don't want me to feel bad.

Yeah, that's probably it.

Still.

It's startling how close he came to being gone and how much I'm freaked out about him possibly having left.

[Jasper finds that very entertaining.]

So what is the point then, Duchess?

...wait, what?

[She's never been called that before.]

Duchess? It's a monicker, a form of address. Much less obnoxious than 'luv' or 'darlin'.

Oh, I've just never heard that one before.

Just got a bit of a shock today. Found out something I didn't know before and it's changing how I look at some stuff.

S'nice you can be philosophical about it.

Another one off the Christmas list?

No. Actually, not sure if I need to get him a present or a hug or what I should do.

[Humans are so confusing.]

Why not push the boat out? Do both.

Because this isn't a guy that you hug.

He did something really huge for me but he didn't even want me to know that he did it. I don't know if I bring it up or just not say anything.

I know a girl like that.

One of them 'nonymous presents. That's what I'd do.

Shane's not the kind to make big gestures. But this was a whopper for sure.

Naw, I meant that's what I'd do for this girl who ain't the hugging type. Get her a gift, only 'nonymously, see?

You could do that for this Shane bloke.

There's a thought. Assuming he wouldn't figure it out.

Well, if he's a smart as what I am- [Grin] -he won't have a clue.

[Laughs softly.] He went to Imperial College, so, he's pretty smart. A fact which he likes to remind me of.
