[Well, the timing on this could've been a little better, not that Rome is probably aware of that; as it is, the message sets off alarm bells for Lance due to the conversation he's had recently with Maketh. Is this at all related, or just coincidence? Should he be taking this offer at face value or does he have reason to be paranoid?
Thankfully, text gives him a moment to carefully decide on how exactly to respond.]
Thank you for the offer, Rome. Right now we've arranged a rotation of individuals to protect the Clinic, although any additional monitoring of the surrounding areas that you're willing to assist with would be helpful.
[Hopefully that's a reasonable middle ground; not too close to the Clinic or relying directly on Rome in case there's some sort of underlying motivation, but still giving him something genuinely helpful to do if there isn't.]
