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.
