bumping for Scrant... I am interested to hear what people think.
Scrant, I am in a very similar situation in terms of limited contact and have thought about what I would say in this exact situation. I would do the same thing you did... which is come here first. My initial thought would be to politely decline, and then maybe propose a different time/day and end with a smiley face or something like that. I would bring that here and see what people thought though.
Best of luck... interested to hear what you do and how it goes.
