“I understand that who we work for is a bit of a touchy subject and I am fairly certain that trying to wax poetic about the good nature of their ideals would only serve to inflame such ideas when some are already fairly set on not accepting them. I do hope you could see why I was trying to be coy with it? Some level of honesty would be needed to get you to trust us and yet that very honesty could and has driven a wedge into that trust.

It would probably spoil the spirit of the ball. Still. I shared this with you as an attempt to build trust so I would like to at least see if that can happen.”
