Great Lord of the Dark in the bar.

Smiling slightly as if he knows something you don't know. ~~Which is probably true.~~

Do come by and say hello.

Another nod.

"I suppose it would not be unreasonable, then, to ask you to leave me and my family - specifically - alone?"

Simply, "It is never unreasonable to ask."

He does not point out that he has never approached her.

It wouldn't matter. She likes being pre-emptive, when she can.

"Will you?"

"I will do my best. As I do not know what your family looks like, apart from your husband, mistakes can be made."

"Thank you. It is appreciated."

He inclines his head to her, slightly.

She does the same, and then walks away.
