[The Count snorts mightily. Laughter rumbles deep within him, but doesn't quite escape.]
Goodness, no. I am far too old for such games.
You are engaged to Doctor Frederick Chilton, a respected psychiatrist who administers his own hospital. From all that I have seen, the two of you are very well matched.
[ Her nose wrinkles initially at his mirth -- mildly affronted that he would find the prospect of dating her laughable. But then he pretty much claims that's on him and his oldness. ]
Well, a doctor's not bad. I think my grandma would be happy with that. But why do you say you're too old? Are you ever too old for love? Or, well, the benefits that come from an agreed upon marriage arrangement?
[ Raina's under no delusion that romance and love are alive in all relationships. ]
Let us say that I have never held much interest in romance. And as for benefits, there are other ways to gain similar advantages without all the ceremony and fuss of a wedding.

[A glint of interest flashes in his dark eyes.]
Your grandmother sounds like a wise woman.
