Far from it - however I'd have to meet you in an intimate setting to be able to appraise you of the full range of my repertoire in this area!

The length of wait is entirely at your own discretion, madam!

Sir, how long the wait is to be rests with you, too. For while you know where to find me, I have no means of contacting you. Passive and patient, I await your next communication.
