"I hope she hasn't left."

"Shhhh."

He heads to the piano room.
---
"I don't know. Maybe."
---
"I do not think so, sir. Not unless you have something more to offer him."

"I'm sleeeeping."

Richard sits at the piano and frooowns at it.

Stephen enters the sad building and heads to Martha's room.
---
"An alliance of power. Sir, if you do not have that, then there really isn't anything you can do."
---
"Yes. Shh."

"An alliance of power. I offered him my services. Is that not the same thing?"

Stephen knocks on the door.
And Martha shouts out from inside. "Who is it?"

"Not foreeever."

"Oh, that's going to take some time."

Jed smiles.

He nods.
---
"It's me, Stephen."
She opens the door a crack. When she sees it's him, she flings the door the rest of the way open and hugs him.
---
"Sir, based on what you have said they don't sound very important."
---
"See? Not forever."

He winces and hugs her back. "I'm so sorry. Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Oh! Are you?" She steps back to look him over.
---
"Sorry, sir. You are the one who asked me."
---
"And I want to sleep looonger."

"He'll be all right."

"If I show him things, he won't think of me any differently, will he?"
