"Mm."

(Temporarily hidden thoughts; ok to read at end of conversation.)The thing is, she can't actually send 'Opalyn' to somebody who will do an excellent job of explaining everything to her, allaying her anxieties, and slotting her into a good place in the Facility.  You shouldn't ever calm anyone down that much.  That could potentially endanger Tiraff's standing with the Headstompers, if somebody reports her for deciting that much drama.

Maybe match this weirdo with another of the Facility's weirdos?  That at least seems like the sort of thing that defensibly should generate drama if you have to explain yourself to a Headstomper about it.

"I can think of a plausible match.  I won't, of course, tell you what I consider his drama-inciting qualities to be, and you shouldn't come right forth and blurt out yours.  Going in blind on that sort of thing is elementary enough that I shouldn't have to explain it, that's half the point of matchmaking being the favor that it is."

"His name is Iilasir, and his room's coordinates are 3-kek by 9-pft.  Tell me your room's coordinates, and I'll have them passed on to him, without it being clear that the suggestion came from me; and you shouldn't identify me as the matchmaker either.  It's how things are done around here."
