Aramis' response earns him a knowing, sympathetic smile. He's being subtle right now, but a certain other lady wasn't. "I miss Donna too. You know she was trying to learn French before she vanished?"

Just talking about her is like evoking someone long dead. There's no more chances for Donna, now. She's not going home to her old life. The Donna they both know is gone. There's no need to tell Aramis about something he can't do a thing about, but as much as he tries to keep his voice light and teasing, the maudlin expression creeps over his face. "She was terrible at it. Near miss there."
