Best for: Use when you need a short reply that keeps the thread moving.
Warm

Best for: Use when you want to preserve trust while still keeping the boundary clear.
Firm
Reference their original timing so the follow-up feels expected and grounded in their own request. If the client wants a different path, make the tradeoff explicit before you continue.
