Nothing that you need concern yourself with. And I mean that honestly, not in a bullheaded way. It's to do with Mr. Palmer.
[Which, he hopes, will effectively shut down that line of inquiry. Renart knows he lives with the other man. There are other troubles he has, but Carlos turning up is rather chief among his personal ones at the moment.]
[Renart. It takes a great deal of effort not to slap his hand to his face. They've been living in the same small area, going out of the same cottage on a regular basis, for five or six month and the vixen still doesn't know Cecil?]
... Oh, she doesn't know Monty's specific relationship with that guy, but she isn't sure she wants to touch this with a ten foot pole.]
He isn't going to hurt you, is he And please tell me you aren't going to end up as you did after that trip to the catacombs I'd prefer you to stay of sound mind and body
[Because frankly, physical injuries are very easy to deal with.]
I just Like you that way
[No, that's a stupid answer.]
I mean that's usually what trouble is, isn't it? So if I can keep you out of it then I want to do whatever I can I'd rather not have to go to Eudaimonia and ask for her help
[That's sweet of her, really, but he's still completely confused as to why she might immediately jump to Cecil trying to hurt him... or drive him mad.]
It's not that type of trouble. As I said, it's the sort that you needn't concern yourself with because you will not be able to assist with it.
Alright Well If you're absolutely sure, I suppose If you need a distraction from all of that And not just sex, I mean More like mental respite Feel free to come over anytime
[She's going to assume this is merely totally benign roommate problems that she shouldn't be getting paranoid over or jumping to conclusions about.]

I'll have to see how a particular discussion goes, that's all.
[Just a house meeting. Totally things that roommates do.]

[There's a pause, then she decides to add:]
This is why I don't live with anyone
No problems, no need for compromises
It's much simpler
