You’ll have to pardon me if this sounds generic but I simply couldn’t think of a more efficient way to do it. Simply put, I’ve successfully managed to convert my world’s calendar to the one of this world and I best estimate my birthday to fall sometime before December 25th, which is apparently known as Christmas Day here. Then I had thought “oh, but certainly others would love to join in the festivities!” and so now my proposal is for there to be a lovely winter ball on thinking the 26th, hence the reason for this invitation. I would like to extend my request for your assistance in preparations for the ball, if you would be so kind as to lend your aid.
[GENERIC PART OVER and here’s where the personal message begins-]
Oh Sakura, your food was absolutely delightful at the slumber party! If you wouldn’t mind providing catering along with Archer – as difficult as I know he is to work with – I’d be so utterly grateful. If you seek payment for your assistance then certainly I will be able to compensate you for your time and generosity and… inevitable patience.
[Honestly she's a little UNSURE about working with Archer, but she hardly sees that as reason enough to turn down Natalia's request.]
If Archer wouldn't mind my working with him, I'd be happy to help with catering. I'm very flattered to know that you liked my cooking enough to want it for your own birthday party!
[A few seconds after that's sent though:]
Although a little compensation would certainly be appreciated... [Look.... It's Archer after all.......... That's really her biggest concern in the end.]
I understand entirely. We can negotiate credits after the menu is decided.
[listen she completely sees no problem with paying someone to put up with Archer]
But of course, Sakura. Your cooking was absolutely delicious. Why, it'd be a grand mistake on my part if I missed out on the chance to ask you to cater!
You're too kind! I'll have to do my best to make sure that your party has the most delicious food this place has ever had now. [SHE'S PUMPED... THIS TIME SHE'LL PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS!!]
