It's all very uncomplicated. Waiting for Emet-Selch to reach a stopping point, using the time to place an order to pick up on their way home. It's still a little odd, having to eat so frequently, but like all times he's had to fit into mortal life, it's taken in stride.
It's general, harmless talk until they get home. There will be beverages, forks, chopsticks and their favorite selection. There is no reason not to have enjoyable food while speaking of serious matters.
As is their habit at home, Elidibus slips into the Ancient tongue while reaching for a box to tip a portion out onto a plate.
"I suppose this request was one of necessity if the information was more than the team involved could handle. Yet I can't help but wonder the intentions. At a glance it seems an unskilled manipulation to suggest those within this community had a choice in adding the data collector to their devices."
Elidibus picks up chopsticks and pinches a sample of his meal to be eaten after his next words.
"One advantage in delaying the addition and asking so openly would be to determine who best to watch. While it is reasonable to expect a protest against such intrusive monitoring, it would also be an opportunity to discover who might have motives to avoid detection."
Simple, but effective. No doubt Elidibus will keep watch over the thread himself to mark the reactions.
