[He sighs heavily, shakes his head. There's no point in trying to deny it or make something up. Even if he were so inclined, she would no doubt realise it quickly.]
Well, you know of my current state. It's come no closer to being remedied, and I will never forgive my other half for it.
Fear not that it is so obvious, and blame instead my tendency toward perception. Is he the reason you cannot fix it? Or has the occasion simply not presented itself?
[she remembered how it felt to be robbed, to be stripped of what she was down to a human's capacity.]
[with a small inclination of her head, she indicates that he should follow her, so they could have this conversation in private. her training she could finish later - the situation Edward spoke of was grave indeed. if her memories were correct...]
And that would place you at such a risk. Have you spoken with your Master about this?
And...what will you do, if Henry's foolishness causes you both to suffer?
[she could call on him in an hour, a day. dangling over limbo...if she didn't hold affection for him, it would be so dramatic, so engrossing. but as such as it is, she wonders why Henry would not call on her when she had already offered her assistance to them both.]
Edward, while I would and will support you in getting revenge, such a move is unwise for one reason alone, all else being nothing to the surge of passion that is such a virtue of your spirit. Would this reason not exist, wholeheartedly I would encourage you to eradicate all he loves.
[except Paloma.
pausing, she leans in to whisper to him.]
If you anger Henry too far, too brashly, I wonder if he would gain enough resolve to consider asking their Majesties for some means to restrain you. We both know they are capable of things beyond ourselves, surely they could do it - and it would wound me gravely indeed to know you were bound in a way that none but he could free you from. Enact your anger with care, though, make him suffer through such a way that his intelligence must inform him he deserves every bit of his pain, and you would have him working for your shared sake.
[and she draws back then, gently resting a gloved hand on his face.]
Do you want my assistance to solve this problem of yours?

He hasn't an ounce of sense in him, really. If I do not fix my situation soon, my Master will have no more use for me either.

Yes, she has said she will give me some time, however, the length is uncertain. The next time she would wish to call on me is the deadline.
