[mightthinkthat]

[Francis looks a little distracted and uncertain. He lets out a sigh.]

I wonder if I might prevail on one of the ladies of the Barge for some company? [He smiles in acknowledgement of how it sounds.] Nothing, untoward, I... just was reminded of how I missed my wife in that port. She's an intelligent, witty woman and I very much relied on her to give me a grounding.

I really hate being confined to bed.

I'm afraid, I've never been through it. [Yes, he is aware that he's apologising not dying here.]

[gard]

[gard]

I'm going to get some rest.

[ He sounds distinctly unenthused at this prospect. ]

[mightthinkthat]

Perhaps you'd better.
