[knightscode]

Help me translate?


[ What follows is a picture of Lancelot's breakfast table, on which stands a bouquet of white roses and... a box with a suit in it? ]

From Jean-Claude.

[outstandingbalance]

[Well, that sure is something.]

White roses traditionally represent hope and purity. Could be a fresh start?

As for the suit

Kinda looks like he's asking you on a date.

[knightscode]

The message with it was 'For Your Troubles'.

[ Troubles here, he assumes, referring to his being kidnapped by Raymond's lackeys.

Is a suit and flowers really meant to make that better. Is a date?! ]

[outstandingbalance]

[That might raise some more possibilities, but there's still an implication that comes with roses and nice clothes.]

Did he accidentally ruin a suit you already had?

[knightscode]

I suppose he did make a hole in a shirt of mine trying to stab me?

[outstandingbalance]

Seems extravagant if he's just replacing a shirt.

When did he try to stab you?

[knightscode]

Southwark. We had a sword fight. I wish I was joking.

[outstandingbalance]

Suppose it could be that, but it was a while back though.

Either way, seems like he's trying to make a fresh start.

Still looks like a date to me, though.

[knightscode]

I can't think of many people less my type than he is.

Even without the part where we had a sword fight.

[outstandingbalance]

I doubt it's supposed to be romantic?

[Though with Jean-Claude, it's somewhat hard to say.]

[knightscode]

How is a date not romantic?


[ Sweet summer child, no. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[Sweet summer child is right.]

When it's something else. Say, political.

Or an invitation to speak again.

[knightscode]

[ THAT ISN'T A DATE THOUGH. Not to Lancelot, at least. ]

It seems excessive just for asking to meet.

[ But also he'd very much like it to not be a romantic date, so. That's a little reassuring. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[Natasha and him might have a different idea about how dates work.]

He isn't exactly on your good side.

[knightscode]

[ They absolutely do. ]

You're right. This IS an expensive suit though. I think it's tailored, and I don't want to know how he knew the right measurements.

[outstandingbalance]

I guess he has a good eye for detail. Either that, or he talked to your tailor.

Do you have a tailor?

[knightscode]

No.

[ Who even has a tailor these days? Certainly not him. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[What. People have tailors. Tailors exist.

But point taken.]

Try not to think about it too hard.

You going to talk to him?

[knightscode]

[ What would he even say to Jean-Claude?

'Thank you kindly for the suit but having been recently molested by other members of your faction I'd like to decline for now.' ? ]

Maybe? But not right now

[ Too soon and all. ]

[outstandingbalance]

Probably the best answer you can have for that.

No reason to feel like you have to accept the apology now.
