Tomorrow Mary turns thirteen.

The cook is going to make a cake and she is to be let off lessons. Other than that she's not really sure what to make of this; despite the cold weather, she's sitting outside by her tree (now bare) in her garden, trying to decide.

Galadan's eyebrow arches fair to hit his hairline.

"And do you truly imagine that there is a moment in which a man or woman is not looking to win something?"

"Do go on. I'm curious to hear at which point you believe such events might come to pass."

Were Galadan another man he might ruffle Mary's hair. She is very young. He has never had cause to forget that.

"I may, I suppose, hope that such a belief serves you well. I find it doubtful, as your world is not so very different from my own."

"And do you suppose you shall ever have a guarantee that your--conversational partner, as it were--has no agenda of his or her own?"

"Perhaps not sinister agendas--that I'll grant you freely."

Is he still teasing? The arch of his eyebrows suggests he may well be.

"And that, I believe is where you are mistaken, Mary. An agenda such as that is one that will influence a man's--or woman's--actions for a very long time. You would do well to be aware of it."

Galadan's own agenda for Mary, such as it is--

Well. That is neither here nor there, at the moment.

Or is it?

Hi, Mary. You are talking to Galadan. Have you met him?

Don't answer that.

"And shall I ask you about your friend Wellard, then?"

Galadan has trouble believing that Mary does not have plans to keep Wellard safe from himself. Somehow.

Galadan raises one eyebrow.

"And how effective a tactic has that proven to be? If I may ask, of course."

"And how often have you and he been in a position to converse?"

Galadan's tone is very dry.

"In the spirit of academic curiosity, of course."

Galadan's eyebrow arches higher, though he remains silent.

His silence speaks volumes, however.

Volumes in multiple editions, even.

"And are you quite sure it has nothing to do with chance, Mary?"

That eyebrow is not going anywhere.

"Your Wellard does not much appear to be the trainable type."

"Perhaps I might be persuaded to tutor you both in such matters."

His voice is dry as the Sahara. In a bad year.

"For I do not believe for a moment that young Master Wellard is the only one to rush in without thinking."

Yes, Mary. He is talking about you.
