['Salut!\nJust checking in, letting you know the embassy is open, and if you decide to move in a direction I might be able to get involved in, we can probably come to a reasonable arrangement on cooperation.\nBonne journée!', "Hey! I'm pretty flexible. Do you like to open north or against Germany?", "Not especially - depends on how squirrelly the English player comes off in initial negotiations.  So far he's scanning as moderately squirrelly 😃", 'Haha 😂. Moderately squirrelly is pretty accurate.', "Checking back in before the deadline- it's a bit uncertain in the West, and it would be interesting to hear about your read."]
Looks like Italy's gonna head away from you pretty aggressively.  England still strikes me as squirrelly - he says he's super-concerned about Germany, but I'm not sure I'm buying that.
