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.
