I really want to post here, but I'm not sure I have an 'in'. Claes is waiting for her new friend to respond to her offer, and Marko won't feel comfortable interjecting into such a tense situation.

Sorry for sort of writing myself into a corner.

I suppose I could have made / can make the end of mine more open ended so it doesn't have to be Wolong. Or I could make him say Marko instead since you're ready to post
