who: helena and others! what: variety catchall for the month. when: end of july/ all of august. where: across the boat. warnings: likely discussions of death.
The way she straightens her posture minutely will be hard to detect, though it will tell Security how she feels about that name immediately connected to her.
"Grace's praise is flattering, but hopefully not set so high a bar that I inevitably can't clear it."
“Not at all. I will say that you drive her towards self-improvement, and that’s certainly something to be proud of. I believe Mr. Summer has also spoken of you, in passing. Ah, that reminds me… I will be holding a magic show at the start of September. He asked me to have some tricks prepared that you would be able to appreciate, if you’re at all interested in attending.”
It feels strange, still, to have that on her shoulders - that Grace would want to improve because of her, and not on her own merit. But Helena swallows that, keeps it in against this stranger - she will not ruin Grace's friendships with her personal uncertainties.
"Well, now that I've received an invitation from the magician himself, it would be a crying shame not to. I'll come, though you will need to let me know the date and time. Flyers don't always give me the information I need."
"I will be putting out announcements over the intercom as well, and I'll pass along the information to Ms. Grace, who I'm sure will make sure that you absolutely, positively, do not miss the event. Oh, one other thing- my tricks will be for you to witness with your own senses, but I suggest that you also bring along someone whose eyes you can trust. That way you can be assured that I am not using your lack of sight against you."
He's not sure what to make of Security's silence, but after a few beats, he just smiles and says, "Well, you're under no obligation, but I would be honored if you would attend. And again, I'll make certain you're notified of the date and time, one way or another."

Here is room for her companion to bow out, if it so wishes, but also to let Maxwell know why it had appeared so swiftly.
Wrap!
