Yeaaaah, I can imagine those two are gonna have some choice words for me when I tell them.

[If Rean was on the app, he'd probably try to volunteer himself instead. And Ash, well... he's going to have to break the news carefully.

Still, part of him is thankful Jusis willing to hear him out instead of shutting him down immediately. Luckily unlike their impulsive leader, Elliot was one to think about things more carefully. ]

Well- don't get me wrong, I don't like or agree with how the Order works right now. Quite the opposite, really.

But... if we want to change things, we need people from both the inside and outside to put in the work. With Zhongli, Eunie, and the kids out of the Order, your outside help is pretty well covered. So I feel like I could be more effective if I was working from the inside.

[He shrugs]

Besides Class VII made a promise to support each other. And I can't help but get the feeling you're going to need that soon.

[Jusis looks a little amused by that.]

I have a feeling that I'll be joining you in the hot water.

[He does listen as Elliot tells him his reasons and they are compelling, to be honest. Jusis has been bleeding Guardians, which on one hand is a good thing. On the other hand, this has been noticed. For this to even work, he's going to need more trustworthy people on his side.]

Your thoughts align with my own. I do need more people I can trust in The Order, specifically for the Kaisou team. Your support on the team will be appreciated. And, admittedly, it'll put my mind more at ease with you joining.

[Jusis sighs softly.]

And... we've been in need of someone with an affinity for healing and water magic. Since Eunie left, I'm the only one who can heal.

[fiddlestick]

Eheh... probably, yeah.

[Look he's not going to deny it. He knows how his other boyfriend and kid are. ]

Y-Yeah, I kinda noticed that when I was spending time with your team last month. They seem like a good crew! But...

...A dedicated healer wouldn't be a bad idea. [They seem like the reckless lot ok]

Plus, it'd be good for me too! There's so many healers on the app, most injuries app users get are dealt with by the time I even sign on.

[noblerise]

They're a good crew, yes, but... two of them have the kind of bad luck that defies all reason and sometimes people get hurt from that. Not to mention, almost all of them are dedicated fighters rather than support.

[He pauses.]

... And two of them, from what I've heard, willingly leapt into the mouth of a sea serpent to try hurting it from the inside.

[Elliot deserves to know exactly the kind of reckless he's signing up to be teammates with.]

That is true. I'm honestly impressed by how many healers are on the app. [Jusis gives it a little more thought and then nods.] Alright, if you're willing to join with us, then I'm happy to have you on board. We can fill out the paperwork when you're ready.

[fiddlestick]

Aha... "Bad luck that defies all reason" seems to be a running occurrence for us... so I won't hold it against them.

[You'd think with a name like VII they'd have some luck but no. Not really.]

...Onnnn the other hand, I don't remember us doing anything as bad as THAT, so I'll be sure to keep a close eye. [Jeez what is he signing up for... is this really a good idea? But well, no backing out now. ]

Ha, thanks Jusis. I'll talk to Ash tonight about it, and then I should be ready.

[noblerise]

No, but it does sound like something Rean would do if not for the threat of us lecturing him.

[As much as Jusis wants to believe in their boyfriend....

He gives Elliot a small, genuine smile.]

I'll be prepared for my phone to blow up, then. You can use my address instead of yours, if you don't feel comfortable giving that to them.

[He's going to do his best to help keep Elliot's home a safe place, but he also understands that it's ultimately up to his partner.]

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot makes a face]

If Rean did something like jump into a monsters month, he's sleeping on the couch until I'm sure the stench is gone.

[Love can move mountains but it can't rid monster breath

But oh he hadn't thought of the address.]

Ahah... honestly, I think I might take you up on that. I rather keep Rean and Ash separate from this as much as possible.
