Ah, I see. A social acquaintanceship, then. I do hope I'm able to cheer her up a bit! I can't do anything about the political situation, but it's always nice to have a friend around. Or family, in your case. That sounds lovely, to have a sibling visiting. V and Loic would hate it here.
So it wasn't purposeful? It is always my aim to be polite. And I do enjoy detective stories, as it happens. I've particularly loved appreciated the Sylvestre Houle adventures since I was child. Do spin your tale.
A peerless resource indeed! Do you work with a lot of locals, then? I'm happy to hear they're pleasant. That must make things much easier.
