"Ah, my apologies. It is a common form of address in my world." He didn't know her name and didn't want to show her disrespect. He was used to deferring to a woman's status instead of assuming she was less than a lady. It was a strange request, but he wouldn't question her decision or why she asked it of him.

"Tanith, then?" She was right though. It was strange how a month could feel so long, but not at the same time. "It's been a half a year for me." One that seemed to slip by so fast, but still stretch into eternity. "It's the same for me. I am put in these situations, but I know I shouldn't turn them down." It was what was right, even if he had to be social.
