I'm sorry if my compliment increased your discomfort, although now that I think about it, I can understand why you might not wish to hear such a thing.
To answer your question about my work, I was what is known as a Companion. From an early age, young women in my universe (the "verse" as we called it) are selected for special training in the Companion guild. They are educated for years in the arts, languages, culture, and decorum. Once they reach adulthood, they receive invitations from customers to work as the customer's personal Companion for a length of time, usually between twelve and twenty-four hours. This world has something which appears to be similar, called an escort service. The main difference is that here, such behavior is frowned upon and banned. Where I come from, Companions are highly paid and also very highly respected; to have a Companion agree to extend her services to you is considered an honor, albeit an honor for which you must pay. I was good at my job and I enjoyed it. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it.
Under your own power you can fly? Now that is extraordinary. It must feel wonderful to soar up in the air, the wind rushing past you as you move, looking down at the world and seeing all its wonders.
I am afraid, dear Kon, that while your now does feel wrong to you, it is all you have. I know you're confused and probably afraid, and I don't blame you. I'll help you where I can. Maybe if you tell me the things which confuse you most, I can help you find ways to come to terms with them.
I'm happy that you would agree to meet me. I would love to meet such a sweet person.
