[retellers]

I'm here to help, after all.

[ said lightly. ]

Within reason, of course.

[papasha]

I know.

[He opens his mouth, shuts it, tries again.]

Fox. Are the leaders aware of... me, I suppose. Are the leaders all aware of any potential... helpers from each other?

[retellers]

They don't know your identity, if that's what you're asking. I doubt they even know the exact details of what you can do.

[papasha]

No, I was only wondering if you had decided together to do this, though... I guess it does make sense when there's worry one of you may be somehow inciting a more violent tactic.

...I have a request. But it's unrelated to all of this.

[retellers]

What is it?

[papasha]

Thursday before I go out, I was wondering... if you would like to have dinner.

[But quickly, he holds up both hands a bit.]

Not so forwardly, I promise. Something casual. I'm afraid I've been very wary of you, and I haven't tried to get to know you better. I was hoping to perhaps change that, considering we should be working together.

[retellers]

[ there's a pause. it's hard to tell exactly what fox is thinking, before they reply. ]

All right.

[papasha]

[WAOW. He looks briefly surprised, and then a bit amused at being humored.]

Do you have any... food preferences? Or drink?

[retellers]

I'm not picky. I would go for alcohol, but since it's Thursday, I don't think you should be getting drunk. 𝅘𝅥𝅮 So anything is fine.

[papasha]

Perhaps I can somehow find a nice wine. I don't think I would drink very much anyhow, but you could if you wanted.

[He offers Fox a small smile.]

All right. I'll surprise you. I must warn you, I'm not a chef.

[retellers]

As long as you don't give me food poisoning.
