After proposing the idea to Oliv, I suggested, "Well, if you want to, we can contact Veronica. Ask her if she wants to go."
Oliv agreed, saying, "Ok. Let's do that."
Instead of going for Veronica immediately, I took out my phone and called her.
After a short while, Veronica answered, "Yes, Max?"
I responded, "Yeah, it's me. I have a quick question for you."
"What is it?"
I asked, "Do you want to join us for a party at Coelus?"
Veronica hesitated, questioning, "To Coelus? To that weird place?"
I assured her that it was safe, and she relented. "Well, if you're saying that it's safe, then why not?"
I added, "Oh. And don't shy away. You know, that's just their culture. You should dress attractively."
As I mentioned it, even Oliv gave me a strange look.
Veronica responded, "Sure, I guess..."
After that, I concluded, "OK, we will be there to pick you up at your house in 4 hours."
