I suppose that from the vantage point of age the young seem ever so younger. It becomes difficult to recall such a time of life. I am glad to hear that they are adjusting well enough.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I'd be happy if you and Fergus became acquainted. He's from Paris, but he hasn't grown up knowing anyone from France. I think he'd like to.

[almaredemptoris]

I should be pleased to make his acquaintance, and I shall of course keep an eye out for him.

You must have removed to Scotland when he was still quite young, no?

[nineteenfortyfive]

He was about ten years of age. No one would ever mistake him for a Scot, however.

[almaredemptoris]

I suppose that countries vary in temperament just as men do.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I won't disagree.

I hope this trend of children waking up continues. I'd like to meet yours.

[almaredemptoris]

[There comes a delay in reply that has to do with more than just his poor texting skills.]

Thank you, madame. Perhaps she is safer aboard the station, but nevertheless I pray nightly that she shall join me. It is strange to have someone at your side every day for years, and then suddenly she is not there.

[nineteenfortyfive]

There's a terrible peace of mind when they're in stasis that disappears when they awaken. It's very jarring.

I promise than she'll at least have three friends waiting for her out here. I'm sure she and Brianna would get along.

[almaredemptoris]

I can only imagine how you must worry. Were my Cosette to awaken, I must know where she is at all times.

I am sure she would greatly appreciate all of your friendship. She is wanting for female company, I do suppose.

[nineteenfortyfive]

It's been difficult not to strap the both of them to me, I admit.

Did she not have much at home?

[almaredemptoris]

Even when grown they remain children.

[He then considers delicately how to answer her question.]

She had finished her schooling. Her mother passed away when she was still quite small. Cosette has no memory of her.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Always.

[This guy gets it. She supposes that's why they get along. She hasn't really met anyone else outside of Ned Stark that understood.]

I see. Poor girl, but lucky to have you. I'm sure she never lacked much.

If I can have given her a secure and happy life I should consider my duty fulfilled.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I sincerely doubt you're capable of failing that duty.

[almaredemptoris]

Your words are kind, madame.

I shall continue to pray for your children, that they may receive God’s blessing in this country. For you and Monsieur Fraser as well, may you long be blessed with the company of your son and daughter.

[nineteenfortyfive]

And that's very kind of you. I know we're very fortunate to have our immediate family here.

[almaredemptoris]

It is good to count one’s blessings. I commend you to God, Madame Fraser. Go, be with your family.

[He doesn’t know how much she needs it smh...]
