"Have you told him that?" queries Catleya, bemused. "No, that's for you to do. I wouldn't have said what I did to you, except that... perhaps I'm wrong... yet, I sense you require an emotional 'safety net', and if my words give you that, hopefully it will make it easier for you to express your feelings." "I... thank you, Nimuel. I'll try," Cat says, unflinchingly honest with this slightly odd young man, for reasons she can't explain. "Now, what's the plan you had in mind regarding murder?"

"I have happy moments," Nimuel replies. "Right now, for example, I'm happy. And my studies keep me content, the majority of the time." He pauses. "What I said before, about you making Velen happy..." "Yes?" Cat asks with a tiny bit of trepidation, since technically they aren't quite a couple again, yet. "It's still true, of course; don't look at me like that! And also it's more than just happiness. My brother... I think he needs you. I don't know you as well, but... you need him, too."

"First, however, I'd like to repeat the question I asked you when we met," Nimuel continues. "Are you happy?" Catleya considers in silence for several long moments. "Yes. Yes, I think I am. I'm worried about my mother, and I'm on edge about having less time to build a case against Sobralin's killer than I thought, but... I believe I may be happy, or at least I will be once the police tire of watching me. What about you? Are you happy? Or peaceful and content, since that was your goal?"

As the hostess, Catleya has greeted everyone, and made sure they are settled down into doing whatever pleases them. After that, provided that she remains more or less available, Cat feels able to leave her wandering acquaintances to their own devices for a brief while, and likewise take a walk among the artfully arranged flowers and plants with Velen's younger brother. "You wanted to speak with me, Nimuel?" Cat inquires. "Yes, I have a plan I'd like to propose regarding your father's murder."
