[ VOICE ] - dated before the first ship to Dorchacht
My name is Lux, and I have a favor to ask of a few of you.
A number of us will be traveling to Dorchacht to... smooth over some rough patches in our relationship with them. Say what you will about how they treat others—I have my own opinions, and that isn't necessarily something I wish to speak about here. That isn't the point of this. Talks are bound to be tense, and many of us will be going in blind.
I am looking for a few monsters to align with, who won't shy away from gathering information, by any means necessary. In exchange for this, I offer a temporary Bond, during our time there; and protection if things don't turn out as expected. I will do what I can to keep you safe while in Dorchacht.
I am also looking for a few Witches willing to come together to push for equal treatment of Monsters within Dorchacht. Neither city can afford a war; and while I have experience with this sort of situation, there is strength in numbers. We have the resources—and it only makes sense to gather as many in one place before attacking this problem.
This is asking a lot, I know, but I want to be prepared for anything. I doubt I am the only one. I will be leaving in a few days. I would prefer to have these discussions before then, either in person, or here. Thank you.

Lux expects their arrangement to be conditional, but that isn't the stipulation that she anticipates. She wanted to go into this as equals, but calling them teammates... she's never had something like that before? She has someone who she reports to, but in terms of having a person to rely on like that, the idea feels foreign and strange. Not unwelcome (not at all), but unexpected. In some ways, it's a relief.
With a brief note of hesitation, she reaches out her hand to him, nodding. ]
All right, I can do that. If you'll still have me, of course.
[ No need to make this sound so formal, Lux. ]

Extending his own reach, he takes her hand and gives it a squeeze of solidarity rather than a shake. As much as she's phrased this hole thing like some kind of business transaction, just the emotionally intimate nature of it makes it anything but. They really are teammates now. ]
Even more than before.
[ The openness that Lux extended to him today really does mean a lot. ]
