[Well..he certainly hadn't been expecting that reaction. He thought she might have to think about it or say she needs to give it some thought, but here she just outright accepted. Not that that's a bad thing. She seems like she actually wants to help this place and its people, so its always good to have people eager for that.

And I would be happy to have you aboard. I'd have offered sooner if I knew you were interested.
Honestly... I didn't know I was interested until I saw the announcements. And I knew I needed to try.

I didn't even look to see who else was running before I submitted my nomination. Then I saw you wanted this to be your last term to wrap up some projects, and I felt kind of bad about it. I'm glad I can help with those projects now. They're really good ideas!
