[Which is where her concern comes in.]

Have I made so poor a showing of myself?

（ like, don't get him wrong he will leave a person on read without a scrap of mercy, but he's usually polite enough not to ignore direct questions. usually!!! ）

[deaddrop]

I don't think that's something anyone has ever said about you. It might be the opposite.

[That some people forgot how young he was.]

You know, you never really said if you were okay.

[And Natasha isn't quite asking again now.]

It takes markedly more than someone being ignorant to cause me to be anything else.

My concern is for others who may not be. I am not the only one from a culture where one's title has a weight.

[She can work with that. And she can accept it.]

I can sympathize with that, I suppose. In that case thank you for letting me take up a little of your time.

（ he does not respond immediately. it takes him several minutes. but eventually: ）

Thank you for being kind.

（ from darkness on a shadowed path... ）
