[Jun will nod]

Just making sure it's clear. You tend to speak with an air of authority, and your response to my power was to immediately try to figure out how it could be of use to you.

[Which sure, he wants to help Ash. And he knows Jusis is doing this out of care of a family member. But don't think he's afraid to call this out for what it is. ]

[Jusis doesn't exactly look like the words have affected him all that much, but he's not a very emotive man to begin with. At least, not to people who aren't close to him.]

Perhaps there is some truth to that, and it's something I'll keep in mind. However, do not misconstrue my intent. If you tell me that you don't want to, I will respect your decision and find another way, even if it was the only power that could save him. To make demands of you makes me no better than my father and the Order.

[He tilts his head slightly.]

I have no desire to use you like some sort of tool or weapon. I'm only asking for help, from one friend of Ash's to another, and you're free to tell me to go to hell and do it myself.

[Jun is going to turn to look at Jusis now]

Did I say I was unwilling to help Ash? If there's a way to help, I will. He was once my brother, after all.

[What their relationship was now...Jun had no idea. Their lives has clearly taken very different paths since their parting- but the weight of their shared experience still holds some anchor in Jun's heart. Something he wanted to make very clear to Jusis]

[Jusis pauses, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath. After a second or two, he opens his eyes again.]

Alright.

[His voice is somewhat gentler, now.]

I'll let you know if I find anything else or if anything happens to change his situation.

[whiteshroud]

...Very well.

[He pauses, as if waiting for something, and then decides otherwise]

Enjoy your cheesecake, Jusis Albarea.

[And with that? He teleports away]
