[It pleases me greatly, they write and this pleases him greatly, too. All of this, the thanks, the acknowledgement, the flattery. Rodney preens at the screen, and well, maybe this is what this world needed all along? Him to fix it? It just makes sense, doesn't it? He pulls up the keyboard to respond...

... Wait, what was their name again? Something really long and French. Oh God, he doesn't remember! A quick glance at the un jogs his memory - what a good thing they wrote to him first.]

You're very welcome, Miss Rue. If there's anything else you need help with, don't hesitate to ask. I mean, let's just be real, I'm going to be a lot faster than these wannabe scientists anyway.

Hope you're settling in okay. I guess I'll see you around.

Dr. R. McKay


[After a moment, another message blips up.]

How are you typing this?

With the talons, I mean.

Is it like a speech to text function?

To the esteemed Doctor McKay,

Just Rue please, my friend. I must insist. I find that most gendered terms to do not fit me in the way they do others. I promise you'll have no offense from me for using my name alone. I have left my previous titles behind with my Court, so I am simply Delloso de la Rue for now.

Again, I must thank you for your generosity. I admit that most of the going-ons of this place are foreign and strange to me, so having someone with your expertise at hand is a boon I'm most grateful for. When - and I do believe it will be when, not if - I find need of your guidance, I will reach out to you.

The answer you seek is this: carefully, my good sir.

Until your next letter,
Rue ♥
