I've a gift for you.

[bouchonne]

[ Delighted: ]

I love gifts. Go on!

[indissection]

[ Which makes her laugh softly. ]

Look under your pillows.

[ Enjoy finding a whole bunch of very fancy clothes. ]

[bouchonne]

[ The gasp is half theatrical, but half genuine. ]

Sidony! These are beautiful!

[indissection]

I didn't make them myself, but I adjusted them for your size. I'm improving.

[bouchonne]

[ Whoa. Genuinely impressed: ]

This is your work? Now it's even more of a treasure.

[indissection]

It is truly one of a kind. [ But she softens, because that's the impact he has on her. ] I do hope you like them.

[bouchonne]

I love them. Is there an occasion?

[indissection]

Must there be one?

[bouchonne]

No. I'm very well pleased to absorb your love for no reason at all.

[indissection]

Good. I realise I have not been as attentive as possible of late.

[bouchonne]

The same could be said for myself. Though I fear I cannot buy you gifts as beautiful as these.

[indissection]

I don't need you to buy me anything, my love. You're quite enough.

[bouchonne]

But you should be dripping with jewels. And medical textbooks. Skeletons.
