[@evierose] While obviously it'd make more sense for Pops to connect and align with that freaky child abductor (if they don't go up in arms with each other about terrible first impressions and all), Matthias may be reaching out to her this round about collaborating to improve the Poor Districts nearby, either immediately or in the future. Do it for the children n all. He'd mostly want to secure a position that'd allow him to begin expanding eastward eventually though kekeke.

My plan is to actually let up on the Thorned Roses line... Pops will toss whatever little information she has to Adel, and get on with the Blue Blood task (her baby's in danger, after all) So, maybe collab with [@LanaStorm]

As for a possible cooperation, she'll be wary of Matthias... but depending on his offer, she might not turn down the help. She does plan to expand soon... depends on how my interactions go this round... but I would say, Pops' eyes are on Iron Gate next -- another poor district and all.
