Sincere Offer & Hypothetical Scenario...

"... Don't you get it?"

Rizz gave him a friend nudge. 

"I'm not looking for just anyone. I need someone I can trust, who also enjoys his role as the general manager, overseeing all operations from the top down without ignoring your staff or being too light-handed.

"I need someone like you, Dezzy…

"Someone willing to accept when they're wrong but also willing to stick out your neck when you know you're in the right. On top of having a crew of people who trust you enough to follow directions to a tee and agree to a job well past normal working hours." 

When the weaselkin's body shifted from board-stiff to feather-flimsy, Rizz let him go. 

Dezlo's legs trembled. He adjusted his footing just in time to catch himself before hitting the ground. 

"Sir Rizzio… I appreciate the offer. But I can't do that to my family. It wouldn't be for the best."
