...shield yourself. From his path.

[rehandle]

Thank you. I hadn't thought of that.

[ Nobody told him Captain Obvious had joined their ranks. ]

[downswing]

Allow chaining.

[rehandle]

Yep.

[downswing]

You are not alone whom they seek claimed.

[rehandle]

[ Oh. A little bit of patience clawed (whoops) back after a few seconds of effort. ]

How many?

[downswing]

At least three more.

My soulmate.

[rehandle]

[ Ah. ]

I'm sorry. That can't be easy.

Chains are your precaution?

[downswing]

Discipline. Locked doors. Guardianship.

We make attempt.

[rehandle]

I wish you luck.

If you need another failsafe, I also have a guard. [ Of sorts. ] I can ask if they'd be willing to extend their reach beyond myself if there's need.

[downswing]

Elaborate.

[rehandle]

Not my place. But I can send them your way if they agree to speak, and you can discuss amongst yourselves whether there's anything you might do for one another.

[downswing]

More transactions.

[rehandle]

Not necessarily, but I can't promise another's time for free. That'll be between you.

It's your call.

[downswing]

Gracious.

[rehandle]

Would you like me to speak with them?

[downswing]

You may.

[rehandle]

[ Done. Now to wait for Wanda's verdict. ]

I'll let you know.

[downswing]

...gratitude.
