“I have not fully committed to this trip yet. (I think birch has selective hearing LOL) I've been a bit sick and will only go if I'm feeling better.

Talked to Binra today and he will likely be going as well.”

“Tarabull, I thought illness didn't keep you from a BP trip. What's up with this?”

“Not usually. But, this one is a bit different. A little sicker than usual. :-(”

“Tbull, I dont have selective hearing. I was using JEDI MIND TRICKS to convince you that you were going.”
