[ Her meaning is taken. He laughs, quiet. ]

Fair point. What did you have in mind?

I bet I can learn to keep you out of my mind before you can learn to keep me out of yours.

( ................. Nuala's bright idea is the worst game of tag ever, yes. )

Ah, good, trial and error. That sounds exactly the sort of strategy one should take in developing psychological defense against psychological invasion.

And I'll take that bet, by the way.

( nuala is undeterred by this criticism of her clever plan, mainly because he rose admirably to her blatant and unabashed baiting. )

What shall our terms be?

[ Another laugh, this time startled out of him. This would be a good time to point out she has some clear advantages, but that would also mean admitting she's a superior telepath and that's not very sporting. ]

Lacking an economy, we'll have to be rather creative.

( he has it on record, her admission that she's already not only experienced but quite confident in her ability to break into somebody's mind if she wants to-- which really means that he only has himself to blame for nevertheless agreeing to what is as much a (terrible) game as it is a practical and useful exercise. )

First of all, the winner must teach the loser their technique.

[ Maybe he'll win through sheer optimism. Not that this has literally ever worked out before but it's his old stand by. ]

Agreed. I imagine you'd be terribly put out if I didn't.

[ He is going to get his ass kicked! ] In addition, I'll request a story, of your choosing. Over dinner.

( the important part is that the important part of him (e.g. his ego) is going to be just fine. )

Hm! Very well.

I will have of you...

( let's see. )

...your waistcoat.

I do think our measurements are marginally disparate, but as you wish.

[ At least he didn't explicitly comment on her rack. ]

At your convenience, of course.

I'm an adept seamstress.

( somewhere nuada just had a rage black-out and doesn't know why. )

Perhaps-- soon? There's so much, presently. The young woman in Engineering.

I suppose 'convenience' is something of a rare commodity.
