Daffodil has a weed living with them, don't they? Yet she hasn't joined them, for reasons I could only speculate. That, and you already have Fifi. I don't think you'll get another. So, the concern that I'd be 'dragged in' to being a sheep disappears, for me.
Also, there's subtle and then there's 'subtle'. Sometimes something is a complete secret, other times you can only bat your lashes and say "Relationship with Clover? What relationship?"
But, is even Lyra going to insist I be kicked out at this point? If the person most likely to object doesn't object, you most likely have a consensus.
I'm not willing to jeopardize their trust in me by making a decision without everyone's approval, but I do want to clarify... you only want to join us for meals, correct? And I assume not every single one.
Is there a reason you're so against asking the other members of Clover yourself?
No one's asking you for that. I just wanted to save you the legwork.
How about until my limbus is done as an actual clone of me and I can stop bleeding myself? I should be able to get myself mobile and back from feeling listless and anemic, then. So, say, as long as it takes for me to bleed out enough, plus a few days to get truly 'healthy'.
Oh, or did you mean 'three times a day'...? --That'd be nice.
[a pause, and a sigh]
I'm not against it. I just think they'll be suspicious. They want things I can't give them and the things I can give them won't satisfy them.
Like... the Snake. I told you I wasn't betraying the Snake for you. If I tell them that, I already know the answer. It'll remind them how much they hate him. And by extension, me, for still being loyal to him.
Whereas you, on the other hand, accepted that fact. You decided, despite that, having me around to help you in rituals, being your info-broker, and go-between, still has benefits... and here we are.

I'm upholding my half of our deal.

Right! This is information that'll be worthwhile to someone, too.

The part where I said I'd watch out for you.

...Thank you.
Um, can I ask one other favor?

...Can you spare some food?

I'll bring you my portion of Clover's food for the day.

Somewhere dark and out of the way would be best. The rec room's theater, perhaps?

Oh, no no no! Not there!

Somewhere else.

Right, okay.
The clinic Clover made, then? No one uses it unless we've all been injured, since Daffodil built their own private one that Crois prefers.

And yet, a seat in your barn, or indeed at your table, would be unbearable...

I've already told you that if you can get the rest of Clover to agree, you can have eat with us. It isn't my decision alone.
