...OF THE ESTEEMED LORD ESSEK THELYSS (UN: SHADOWHAND), FIRST OF THEIR NAME, HAILING FROM THE REALM OF CRITICAL ROLE, RESIDING, AT PRESENT, IN THE GRAND CRESENT. SINGLE.
"Hardly a fault, and are you not well hidden now in plain sight?" He carefully tilts his head, because he has noticed how she dresses down and inconspicuously, how she makes herself forgettable next to others.
It is easy to be forgettable next to him, especially when it is so easy to see him in the daylight.
He gives her a smirk, "Perhaps, perhaps not." Oh, he does. She reminds him of some of the people he worked with before, though he doesn't say much of it at this moment. He's not about to lay out all his cards to her.
"You are far too intelligent not to have some ideas." But she won't push him for them. Hell, if he hunts down Crabb, he could get parts of the story that way--perhaps even the parts Ducky doesn't know yet.
A confident smile crosses his lips, no humble modesty at all when it comes to his intelligence, "I cannot deny that, nor that you must also have some ideas in regards to myself, but," he can feel the heavy gaze of his maid on his back.
"I think we have spent far too much time alone for my servant's liking."
"It's been a pleasure as always, Miss Ducky," be nods his head respectfully. He does very much enjoy her company and is glad he could be helpful in some way.
"Enjoy the rest of your day," and with that he steps away and keeps to the shade as he finds his way on his path home.

She means that. He's been a balm to her frayed nerves.
