[Since there are still people around, Jusis will keep walking as they speak.]
I've made the decision to put your name in as part of the volunteer group. The others will include Waver Velvet, Shroud, and myself.
[He looks up at the taller man.]
Fair warning, the Order is going to be sending a more senior member to verify the necessity of what I've requested. He'll be arriving shortly, I expect.
[Takame followed along, his expression shifting from neutral to focused as Jusis spoke.]
I see. Understood. [Hearing that Waver would be involved as well set him at ease. Someone he trusted fully would be within this group. As for Shroud, well, he had an idea of who that was.]
Are you familiar with the man they're sending? [Which was to say, "is he going to interfere with us?"]
I don't know him well, but from the few times I've met him he's had a good head on his shoulders. It'll be above board and we should get his clearance to proceed. Expect him to ask questions to get a read on the situation at hand.
Prepare for a battle, then. While I don't know the particulars, I'd be a fool to not caution you on meeting potential danger. Once everything is prepared on my end, I'll contact you three to meet up for the details.
Understood. I fully expected danger when I volunteered. And I'm more than familiar with combat. My combat style leans towards defense, so I can lead the charge if necessary. However, I shall adjust as needed to whatever plan will lead to the most success.
If we're all together, I can take the backline as a healer and caster. However, in the event we're separated, make sure you're able to survive long enough for all of us to reunite. I want to make damned sure each and every one of us makes it back in one piece.
[He doesn't particularly care what that takes, either.]
I believe we're already at the reckless stage. Rather, I advise against heroic last stands if we can at all avoid them.
[Jusis really doesn't want Elliot to storm whatever hell he ends up in to drag him out by the collar while yelling about how stupid and reckless Jusis was.]
I will keep that in mind. I know someone who has had more than enough of heroic displays, and though she isn't here for the sake of the others I will be cautious.
[Normally, Jusis would be asking many questions. He'd ask more details on what Takame is capable of doing. Most importantly, the blond would ask why Takame wants to volunteer as a final determinant of suitability. Though it's not seen in his expression or in his voice, the simple truth is that he's still reeling from having his family secrets laid out in such a manner. He's still in crisis, feeling as if one false move or one wrong word will lose the people he holds dearly to his heart.
God, he hasn't felt like that since—]
No, not today, but I'll contact you if anything comes up. [Jusis gives him a polite nod, compartmentalizing his emotions even as the compartments are starting to overflow.] Be safe on your way home.
[Jusis then starts to walk off in a different direction. He's got more work to do.]

He nodded.]
I'll answer all I can. I'll do whatever best prepares us for what is to come.

Naturally. I do not intend to be reckless, I assure you. [says the man agreeing to an extremely reckless plan]
I'll do my part as well to ensure we return safely.

I'm afraid I can empathize with her. Someone dear to me has those... recklessly selfless tendencies, no matter how much I caution him against it.
[He shakes his head. No, he should be focusing on their business.]
Now, do you have any other questions for me?
no subject
Or he would try not to. He shook his head.]
I've no further questions, unless you need to ask me anything?
