[Thanks for saying that, Carolina, that won't add to any silly feelings at all. He's just as quick to order up his shrimp scampi and only water.]
Depend on how...popular I'd get, I'd have to be more careful about what I say on the network with my name attached to it. Even adopt some kind of harmless persona. But it's increasingly harder to say no. I just have to let certain people know. [And that includes York. But that can wait.]
[ A litte humour about the situation goes a long way, Malcolm. Never mind that she'd said it all relatively deadpan anyway. ]
If the offers are as good as you say, and you can make use of it in a practical manner, I say accept them. Thinking of how to deal with the network now is wise, too. You may want to employ multiple public faces, depending on what you focus on.
[ A separate personal entirely to act as decoy or front for information brokering wouldn't likely go amiss either. ]
You think you might have problems with others over this?
I could try to hook up a couple of sets of glasses, try to go the Lingormr route for my current activities and at least one other for my more pleasant and chipper self. [Ha ha.]
And as far as problems...no. No, I don't believe problems will be encountered. But better to let certain parties know all the same.
...Well, I don't think I'd get that popular, but if so...I suppose I could always find somewhere else to live. [He'd rather not. Home is...home.] Use sneakier means of going to and from. Disguises if need be. I wouldn't want to inconvenience Delta. [Delta specifically because even saying 'the boys' still includes that party he should not mention.]
[ She merely nods, before waiting for the server to leave once he drops off her wine. She can appreciate wishing to remain at home - even if 'home' wasn't something she'd found in a long time. ]
Start looking into disguises now. The sooner you do, the sooner you can adapt to whatever persona goes with the new appearance you set. Never taking the exact same routes home may also help. [her smile is thin] Delta is more resilient than he seems.
So much to look into... [Not that he's complaining, mind, but things were certainly simpler before all of this. But if he goes a different route for jobs, he might not get the same opportunities.] When I start settling everything, I'll let you all know what I'm doing. In case a strange face is at the door or it seems I'm acting particularly out of character. I really ought to start being more careful--now there's a phrase I never thought I'd utter. Delta might be resilient, but that's no reason to do something stupid and put him in danger.
If you need help with anything, just let me know. If need be, we can decide on some key coded phrases for use depending on the situation.
In a place like this, I don't think it's possible to find any occasion where being more careful isn't a requirement. [a small sigh, before she sips her wine] And it's not you I'd worry about doing something stupid. [...that's a little mean. but still truthful. she rolls one of her shoulders]
And not a word about that so-called weather change outside either from Bifrons. [topic change? topic change!!] I'm still not sure I believe them about that.
[A topic change before he ever has the chance to actually bring up York and go pet the trunk of the elephant crowding the room? Probably a good idea.] If it isn't true, then I'm not sure what's happened to make them want to delay our excursion. And they're hardly going to tell us if they're already not being upfront about it. But we don't know what the weather patterns out there are like; it could be entirely possible that it's too dangerous to go.
[best and necessary topic change, lets be real here.]
True. They may actually be telling the truth. [a faint sigh] I'm not entirely sure how much of my reaction to them is overreaction, or legitimate wariness. What they're not telling us is doing more harm than good.

[Other parties....ah.] Ah. Well. If you think that's for the best.
