Hello, Angel. Forgive me for the random call, particularly since I know it's been a while since we've spoken...ah, I just wanted to let you know that your...father contacted me about making and sending treats off to people.
[...]
And you were one of them. So...I wanted to give you a heads up in case he were to contact you about it later or anything like that.
[Angel chewed on her lip as she concerned the question. Pale fingers fidgeted with one another, leaving her gear to sit on her lap. Three times she replayed the message, hoping that each time, the content would change.]
[After the third, she lifted the gear. Briefly, she toyed with the idea of telling Botan to forget the order, refund her portion or at least just... eat it herself. Angel wouldn't dare invoke her father's wrath on the poor woman. Especially not after sticking her neck out for the girl.]
Thank you Botan. [Her voice was slow and hesitant.] I appreciate the heads up. It was... good if you to do that.
[She won't even lie to herself, it's scary as hell, and Botan doesn't exactly have a strong network around her anymore for protection. She has her Pokemon, sure, but she doesn't want them to suffer either. The object is to keep people safe.]
Not at all, I...probably should have refused on your behalf, but then--then I don't know what awful things he would have done to you afterward. [She fiddles nervously with her hair, unseen, twisting a lock tightly and pulling.]
I don't have to address it as from him if you want. He wanted me to send it directly to you, so...I can just address it as from me and he wouldn't have to know there was interference.
No it's... It's fine. [At the very least, she and Jack were in a neutral enough period. But Botan's response threatened to shake those feelings away.]
[The truth was, Angel wasn't the only one that Jack could hurt. Botan might have been worried about that, but Angel was worried about her in turn. Jack was exceptionally good at finding things out, and she wouldn't dare subject to the woman to anything from him.]
I think I have an idea of what I can do, then. [Jack also said that she likes cute Pokemon, but no way in hell is that going to be brought up.] You take care of yourself and stick with your friends, all right?

Don't do anything. Just the warning is enough.
Thank you.

[The choice should always be hers, of course.]
Then...in that case, what sorts of sweets do you like? If it's for you, it should be something you like.
