[ oh goodness

Honestly she wants to tell her that she can talk to them just like she talks to anyone! Except it's Anthony and he's... Different, and business is a slightly more serious matter. She does it, of course, but Bernadetta is not Dorothea and probably wouldn't get a kick out of pointedly not addressing him properly like she does.

and also a viscount is technically below a count right so there's that?? ]

He is a noble, yes. A viscount.

But he's not unkind, and his sister is a very lovely young woman as well. They're all quite nice and very easy to talk to. It sounds as if he's looking for your input on the business?

[ Because if he's e-mailing to fire her or something he will face Dorothea's wrath. ]

I think so

That's what it sounds like anyway

I want to help keep it open

But what if he's scary?

What if his sister's scary?

Dorothea!! ヽ（≧A≦）ノ

Oh, Bern! They're not scary at all, I promise!

And I'm sure they both want what's best for the business as well.

If he insists on meeting in person, would you like for me to accompany you? I wouldn't mind acting as a proxy dominant for you while you're uncontracted.

He insists :(

[ This is the worst day of her life. ]

Would that be okay? If you came with me?

You guys are already friends!

And maybe you can distract him if things get too much and I need to go? Please?

Oh, I can certainly distract him.

And I'm sure he wouldn't mind. As I said, he and his family are very nice people, and considering that you all want what's best for the business, I'm sure it'll be an easy meeting indeed.

Alright, I believe you but only because you said so

I guess I need to tell him yes, then (⁠╯⁠︵⁠╰⁠,⁠)

But thank you, Dorothea!!

You're very welcome!

Truly I'm touched you reached out to me. It's made me happier than you can imagine, Bern. <3

Happy? Because I bothered you because I knew you two were friends?

Firstly, neither you nor your request are at all a bother. I don't exactly have a job, myself, so finding ways to fill my days is always welcome.

Secondly, I'm happy to know you feel me a friend you can rely on in situations like this.
