*Melliandra just looks at him for a moment with an peculiar expression* Do you mean to tell me . . . that all the time, the reason you were so insistent upon bringing me back . . . was because you thought I might get ill?

*Bard folds his arms in front of him* Yes, as a matter of fact, that's exactly the reason.

*Bard, expecting anger, confusion, or horror, is taken rather by surprise*
Melliandra... I'm serious....

*Mell clutches her side, wincing and giggling at the same time* Oh, my dear, dear, Bard . . . *She takes a breath and straightens up* As though I would ever get sick! It is, I assure you, impossible! *she shakes her head, still chuckling slightly* You poor man. And here I thought you were just trying to spoil my fun!

I-impossible?!? *Bard's confused, and more than a little annoyed that she isn't taking him seriously* Everyone gets sick....

*Melliandra merely smirks* No, dear. Not everyone. And certainly not me.

*Bard watches her for a moment, trying to guage her expression. He can't hide the wonder in his voice* You really can't get sick, can you?

Of course not! It would take a good deal more than some trifling little disease to harm me. *she sidles over to the bar to eye over the wine selections*

*Mell plucks a bottle off the shelf and glances back toward him with an amused smile* You were that concerned for me, were you? Why, Bard, that is positively sweet of you.
*she retrieves a pair of glasses* Hmm. I might even be inclined to apologize.

Oh, worry not, I'm fairly certain I'll survive it, somehow. *She fills both glasses and strolls back over to offer him one with a charming smile* My good sir, I do most humbly beg your pardon for being such an insufferable she-demon. I promise I shall be on much better behavior during my next visit.

*Bard accepts the glass and has it raised to his lips as the words "my next visit" slip out of Melliandra's mouth. He manages not to spray wine across the room, but only by choking on it*
*cough... wheeze* n-next time?
*despite his shock he regains his composure* You suppose there will be a next time, eh?

Oh, there's not a doubt in my mind. *Melli takes a sip from her own glass, still smiling* Why, I'll even offer you a favor in exchange. Generous of me, wouldn't you agree?
