Factotum"Your Lordship/Ladyship!" Judging from his tone, Danrok is practically bursting with hidden enthusiasm. "I humbly apologise for distracting you from matters of the protectorate, but I simply must beg for a moment of your time. After all, this concerns the illustrious Mistress Kibellah!"
Factotum"Doubtless, it has not escaped your powers of insight that she has been... rather not herself lately. Truly, Mistress Kibellah's soul is a tenebrous place, but even I noticed the change in her bearing. When I finally had a spare moment to think on what could be done to address this, it dawned on me: another social occasion! I daresay the first one went rather well, did it not?"
YOU"I do not think this is such a good idea..."
Factotum"On the contrary, Your Lordship/Ladyship! I approached Mistress Kibellah with a conversation, and she herself suggested that a repeat event would be appropriate and even desirable!"
YOU"I do not think this is such a good idea..."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"What? Kibellah herself wants you to organise another event?"
Factotum"Precisely! I was somewhat flabbergasted at the proposal, I must admit, but if such is Mistress Kibellah's wish, how can I not try to please both of you once more?"

YOU"Well, then. Let us enjoy one more moment of leisure."
Factotum"Marvellous! I already have some ideas in mind... This time, a more private engagement on Dargonus, with a view from the spire! I shall begin the preparations as soon as we arrive on the capital world. When you are ready, just find me at the palace — and this most pleasant evening can commence!"

YOU"I am sick and tired of her quirks. I will not waste any more of my time on them."
Factotum"Your Lordship/Ladyship! My apologies if I have incurred your displeasure by approaching you at a bad time! But, ahem... do you not think that such a harsh refusal might push Mistress Kibellah away? She has been looking rather... lost, as of late. Are you certain your decision might not cause her to withdraw from the world entirely?"
YOU"If she dislikes my orders so much, then she can go back to the lower decks. My decision stands."
Factotum"Oh... Yes, certainly, Your Lordship/Ladyship. I will... deliver your response to Mistress Kibellah. I dare not disturb you further."

YOU"Be that as it may, I will have no part in this enterprise."
