I took the time to think about your request, and it pleases me to say that I have an answer for you.

Oh?

[squalled]

Yes. :)

There are a few conditions, but I will help you at the East Side Gallery. But only this one time.

[holylight]

Let me know what they are and I will do my best to meet your conditions.

After we attack the East Side Gallery tomorrow, I ask that I be allowed to go on my own and do as I wish -- at least, upon my own discretion. Trust me, I will not be destroying barriers left and right once you grant me permission.

Very well.

But if I ever need your assistance, I hope that I will be able to call on you.

Thank you so much for understanding, Gemini. I've never been much of a team player, you see, and I do not see eye to eye with several of our Angel teammates. It would be in everyone's best interests if I remained on my lonesome. However, I will admit that you are an intriguing addition to our group. So far you have not done anything to make me doubt your capabilities or dislike you.

In short, I encourage you to do so.

Oh, I'm sure it does.

Perhaps you'd like to dine with me later in the week? If your schedule is free, of course.

It would be my pleasure.

Wonderful.

We can talk specifics -- where, when, etc. -- after tomorrow. Enjoy your evening, Gemini.

Thank you and I'll see you tomorrow.
