[He instantly frowns at that, and then raises an eyebrow because? Jeanne what are you doing.]
...I would, yes. [He says it a little grumpily? Like he knows what she's trying to get at.] We had a bond last week, so we just talked a lot during that time.
[He lets out a slow exhale, glancing to the side.]
She's a very nice lady. She's very smart, very funny, and has quite a beautiful voice. [There's a simmering sort of conflict in him - like he wants to talk more, say more, but he's putting a preemptive clamp on it. There's bittersweetness mixed within it as well.] It would be hard not to be charmed, I think.
You're making it sound like we're in a relationship.
[He's exasperated, but in the same way that a school boy would be if someone pointed out a crush. Which is. Honestly pretty similar to what is happening.]
I'm a priest, you know. [A huff.] Honestly, I'm just glad to help her out.
[ She puts a hand to her mouth and hides a soft laugh. ]
I am not implying anything of the sort. All I mean is that if you can deepen bonds with others here, isn't that a blessing? Even outside collecting nova, isn't it good to make friends?
[ If it's a crush, it's fine. No one says he has to act on it. ]
I feel the same way. I am truly glad to meet everyone here.
[ For even if Servants' lives are meant to be transient and are no longer meant to make an impact upon history, it is one of the joys of a second life. ]

She doesn't look like she's going to push it too much, and her feelings become a bit muted. She's still smiling a bit. ]
And?

She is all that and more. I'm glad you're charmed by someone like her. I think she could use someone like you by her side.
[ Whatever that means, she won't label and won't care to label. ]
