"Of course," Beverly agrees with a quick nod. She would never think of doing anything like this without the express permission of the person involved. It just wouldn't work. Fatima might not initially be all right with the idea, but Beverly has a feeling that once Merlin reveals his connection to her, Fatima will be more agreeable.
Either way, it isn't a matter of persuasion. Not in the least.
"I met Fatima in Zelien. She's... become something of a daughter to me. We've been through a lot together. If you say you're a friend of mine, she might be more agreeable towards you." Which is probably more than she should say at the moment. Everyone knows that they came from the same place at least. They are, and always will be, connected.
Her smile warms just slightly, enough to show her fondness and gratitude towards him. "Well, if that ever changes, let me know. Until then... I don't have any other questions." She's a little curious about what he'll see of her memories and hopes that nothing she shows him will be too difficult for him to stomach.
