A challenge? I hesitate to ask what kind, but I suspect that I know this place too well to. If you need help with your challenge, I will remind you that I am here and willing. Besides, I am all too curious about an example of what may eventually be in store for me...
How would you get in the way? If anything, you are more inclined to be out of the way! More seriously, I understand your point. We do not always get along at our apartment, either, no matter how close we have gotten! If we wanted to live more comfortably, we ought to have more space. That is why I think I should propose to Dorothea that we look into securing our own residence. It would solve the problem, and I think it could be a lot nicer. Then, since, ideally, the house is spacious enough, it should no longer be a concern. What do you think?
I will not get lost, Bernadetta! Especially with you around. I do not need an anchor to keep me in place. Perhaps you are more akin to a compass in this analogy. When I look at you, I know where I am and where I came from. It is very reassuring to have that. While we are floating boat metaphors at each other, perhaps I am more suited to be your anchor. If the social current is getting overwhelming, I will help moor you somewhere safe.
I don't think it'll be too hard to find your own residence, Ferdinand! Dorothea is so smart, too, and Hubert will help make sure it's nice and safe. I think that's a really good idea. Maybe a nice house in the Up? The Down is always so scary, and full of scary people.
[ As for joining them... Well, she'll carefully sidestep that proposition. She can't invite herself just like that! What if the perfect house doesn't have enough room? What if he's wrong and she is just an intrusion? What if, what if, what if ... ]
Oh but, I think I like thinking about you like an anchor, Ferdinand. Sometimes all I need is to read a message from you in the morning and I think I can start my day alright. Even if everything is scary, knowing you're here helps me feel better.
I hope I can be a good compass. That's a lot of responsibility, I don't want to lead you somewhere you shouldn't be! But... if you need a reminder of where we are from and what we were like so we don't get lost, I'll do my best! I want to help you, too.
