"Well later perhaps you can make me even less objective,"Rena murmured into Henry's ear with a soft chuckle before speaking in a normal tone once again.

"I do understand your own character analysis and you are indeed correct as it stands now," she told him.

"This is why you are indulging in certain...studies, though, those that no one or mostly no one is aware of...but those are of what I speak and later we can speak further on those, and I can explain myself in further detail do you wish it. Just know that to me you can be and say anything and I will always accept and adore you."

She winked.

"Perhaps I've done worse, after all," she added with a chuckle.

"Polite society...isn't so polite when its restrictions could kill a person," she said half to herself with a sigh, patting Henry's arm sympathetically.
She brightened with interest when Henry asked Victor?if he had rare plant monographs. It would indicate a bit of what Victor did to know what he worked with, after all.?She flashed Henry a warm smile. He was so brilliant.

"Lady fortune?" She chuckled.
"You, Henry, can call me anything you like," she told him quite seriously.

Leti hurried back up, frowning.

"I miss anything, then," she asked brightly, shooting a resentful look at the group of newcomers busily drinking and laughing.

Rena looked thoughtful.
"I don't think so...But only...what do you think? Is one guarded even among good friends?"
?
Leti paused t o consider that, tilting her head thoughtfully to the side, obviously surprised by the depth of the honestly thought provoking question.
?
"Well...that depends on how good the friends are, ain' it?"
?
She smiled.

I get along with the voices inside of my head.
