As the crew departs, Paris begins her self-assigned tasks: ship's
laundry, turning down and restoring the cabins to their typically
Paris-Pristine condition and, after getting dinner going in the
galley, takes a bottle of a bit more expensive wine upstairs and
settles down across from Lord Percy with a backgammon set. "Good
afternoon, Milord," she smiles gently at him, "I thought we'd spend
some time, if you don't mind my being interrupted from time to time
with ship's business."
Percy grumps, "Why didn't you allow me to to with the others?" But he
doesn't turn down the wine she offers.
