[Warded to Jaime]

Hey there, sweetheart.

First things first, I'm giving you the weekend off to enjoy the festivities and then recover from them. Consider the rest of this message to be friend-to-friend, not boss-to-employee. Ready?

I know this upstanding young man. He's good looking, smart, and tragically single. Now, I don't want to stick my nose into your private life more than I already do, but you're a real angel. I could see the two of you getting along real well.

Are you picking up what I'm putting down?

[Warded to Webster (added later)]

Why my dearest Mr. Knox, it's been a while.

I know we've never been the closest, but I wanted to talk to you about Lilika.

Is it bad that I sort of just assumed you would not make me work this weekend?

[...]

Who? I do not think most of your friends are my type?

Edited (look who has accepted that he likes boys) 2018-07-13 03:15 (UTC)

No, you've just gotten good at predicting me.

It's Jonathan Wilde. He's really more a friend of a friend.

And you are getting nicer, maybe!

[...]

I assumed he was straight??

Which is at least partially your fault.

Hm. A lot of people assumed you were, too.

I am very good at my job!

~~Hey~~ Fine, fine, but do you actually have any reason to think he is not? Or are you just wanting to play matchmaker?

I would have fired you if you weren't.

People whom I trust have given me ample reason to think he's not. Playing matchmaker is only fun when it works out.

Would you really?

Is it?? [...] ~~Uhhhh~~ I mean [...] I am not [...] against it, but also I think we have nothing in common.

Only if you were truly incompetent. Which you're far from.

[...] I used to think I wanted someone exactly like me. Instead, I fell in love with a person who was barely similar... externally, anyway. Look a little deeper. Deep down, Wilde is a kind-hearted, thoughtful athlete, not unlike you. Have an open mind.

You are getting nicer!

~~I think you and Ulysses are definitely pretty sim~~ I am not saying no, I am just saying I am [...] not super optimistic?

Reluctantly. I can't be too nice, though. I have a business to run.

It's worth a shot, isn't it?

I guess.

Sure? [...] Did you actually talk to him about this??

[...] My favorite subject. What’s up?

She seems a bit down.

If I set her up with a boy, do you think it'd cheer her up?

~~No.~~ [...] She does? I wasn't getting that vibe. Unless, did she say something to you?

I read between the lines. I think she's been struggling to find someone to relate to.

I have a couple people in mind, but you know her best.

Well, Lilika's pretty unique. That's what we love about her. Really relating with someone is a rare thing -- I think we all want it.

[...] Who were you thinking of?

I empathize. It's hard to find someone who understands. Particularly after all we've been through.

Reece, Wilde or Jaime. But she's hard to get close to, and none of them managed when we were young.

That's so true. We can't all be as lucky as you and Ulysses. Congratulations, by the way!

Those are all really good guys. Obviously I know Reece and Jaime a bit better, but I really like Wilde, too. You're right about Lilika, though. She's easy to get along with, but tough to get close to. She's just as protective of herself as she is of her closest friends.

Thank you!

You two were always inseparable. I don't know if some old classmate she hasn't spoken to in years can compete, but I'd hate for her to feel alone.

Well, I have the unfair advantage of knowing her my whole life, don't I? [...] ~~Compe~~ Hopefully she doesn't feel alone. But I'll definitely keep an eye out on her.

That's a powerful connection.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather escort her yourself?

Are you taking about as her date?

Why not?

I’m flattered, but that’s just not our relationship. ~~We talked ab~~
