[Private to Omar Little]

Hello, Omar. This is Leslie Knope. We've spoken previously. [No mention of the warden assumption -- to be entirely fair, it was one that she made.]

As you've been informed, you and I will be working together towards your graduation. I'd like to meet and talk about where to go from here. Are you free for brunch? I have access to a waffle maker!

I'm optimistic! We can't know for sure until the first meeting, but there are a decent chunk of readers on the ship.

[omar]

And you wants me to pick out a book. The first book.

[lesliemonster]

I've been in a coma for nearly two months. Meanwhile, you've been posing as a warden -- getting to know this place and the people in it as well as you can.

[The first direct mention she's made of what he led others to assume during his first few weeks here. Her tone isn't particularly accusatory. He's done far worse things and who wouldn't try and get away with being a warden, here?]

You've got a better understanding of what people are more likely to read.

[omar]

Fair enough. [He's not even going to pretend the rest of it isn't true. Of course it's true.

He's also not even going to pretend that he's not going to look for a way to make this as entertaining for himself as possible.]

I'll root around a little, see if anything catch my eye.

[She is aware of that. She gets that Omar is making a lot of this into a joke -- herself included, probably. But he's agreeing to participate in something, and that's a start. So Leslie really means it when she says:]

Great! I'm really looking forward to your selection.
