Miss Maketh instructed me to prioritize the clinic and guard in the wake of the Null post.
Are there any areas in the clinic where you feel as if your protection has lapsed? I am available at all times during the day for any task required of me.
[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.]
[Okay, probably not some sort of sketchy plot from Maketh then at that response, but he's still a little relieved.]
It might be. The Clinic is well guarded at this point, but there are likely several other locations in the city that people may gather which are less so.
There's no need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong, and the offer is appreciated.
[As suspicious as he might be of Maketh he doesn't imagine Rome is in on anything, although Lance is kind of confused by how this conversation is going.]

In that case, it would likely be more helpful if I focused my attention elsewhere.
