Now, then. I do not view this as unreasonable. You made a mistake, and I am allowing you the opportunity to make it up to me. It is not as though I will be forcing you into lewd and lascivious acts. You will essentially be helping me help this city by volunteering your time.

I have other capabilities, you know. That net a higher yield.

[ The unexpected drugging in Maine came to mind! ]
But rest assured, I will be in touch, my friend. For now, I do hope to see you actively participating in the date auction.
