Does Becky agree to Robin's proposal of cooperation?

Becky and Robin rejoin the group

"Alright, sure" Becky said.

The blond girl's soft voice was an ill fitting opponent for Robin's bubbly barrage of language and it was nearly subsumed entirely by the flow of words.

"And I'll say something like 'Stand down foul fiend! For I am the one who will be your demise!' And you can step in and--"Robin paused, perking up at the sound the had only just barely noticed. "Sorry, did you say something?"

"I said yes, yeah, sure alright we can work together." Becky was already somewhat starting to wonder if this was the right decision after all. A small part of her was annoyed with the girl's antics, but moreover, Becky was worried about the risks of involving someone so seemingly innocent and optimistic in the kind of dangerous work this would likely involve. "We'll just need to get you introduce to the rest of the team, and--oh!"

Robin cut her off by grabbing Becky in an excited hug. "Hurray! Alright, lets do this! Lord Highwater won't even know what hit him!"

The two made their way back to the main ballroom to begin tracking down the rest of their group, only slightly delayed by the complex and unintuitive layout of the manor's deeper chambers. They found Emmaline quickly enough; she was easily spotted whirling about the center of the room, flitting from guest to guest alongside Marie in a flurry of complex and rather beautiful dance. The ballroom floor had quickly become her stage, and she was its most alluring star.

Fuu noticed them quickly from where she stood speaking with one of the servants, made eye contact and was soon on her way over to join them, while Liv was easily collected from where she lurked against a back wall as well.

"You're back a lot quicker than I thought." Liv smirked at Becky, looking her and Robin up and down. "I figured you two would be gone for quite a while after you headed off toward the bedchambers. I was starting to worry we wouldn't even see you for the rest of the night. Perhaps the gentleman here is a little quicker than most?"

"Gods, Liv, no-- it's... it's not like that!" Becky hissed. "She's not even a man!"

Liv cocked her head in confusion, so Becky continued. "'Lord Robert' is actual named Robin and she's here on a mission kind of like our own, and asked if we could work together. I'm amicable to the idea, but don't entirely know what she's capable of, and wanted to leave the decision up to... well all of us."

"I see. Thank you for being so considerate." Fuu said. "We should discuss your abilities at length later, but I see no problem with accepting an ally in this mission."

"More friends are always fun" Emmaline added with a smile, and Fuu turned to Liv for the final consensus. The sniper just shrugged.

"Very well, then, Robin, I look forward to working with you" Fuu said. Robin's face lit up with a brilliant smile.
