Yes. Of course. [Of course she'll treat Vi as her equal. Respect her, care for her, everything she can to make Vi happy. All she wants is the opportunity to do so, and someone who'll do the same for her.]
I suppose there isn't much more to say, without Vi. Should she make an appearance here, we'll... I'm sure we'll be speaking again on the matter. [She's grateful, at least, that he's open to the idea, that he hasn't dismissed her out of hand or become angry or judged her harshly. She's glad he doesn't care about money or social status. She'd glad Vi has someone, even if long dead, who cares for her well-being and happiness before anything else.] And I'm glad I've had the chance to get to know you. Even if the circumstances are far from ideal.
[She realises she hasn't tried the tea yet, so she fishes out the steep ball and takes a sip.]
