[ He makes note of the names, will keep an eye out for the same in the future. ]

that deescalation goes sour, let me know
i picked the church in part for the privacy and i can't say i'd appreciate any unannounced house crashers

[ Wouldn't do to get caught in any crossfire, or to lose his newly acquired teacher before he's gotten what he wanted out of this, after all. ]

[voktys]

Message me when you are ready, then.

[voktys]

Nothing. Come over?

[chardismastic]

[chardismastic]

no the

two shakes is how long until i'll be over there i'm walking back from a thing

[voktys]

Oh, good. We'll need that.
