[Memories have fallen back into place for Diarmuid. And with them solidifying his sense of duty. While both his and Waver's mana needed to readjust to this world, beginning a correspondence wasn't strenuous in any way.

And given what loomed over them with the Black Order... what it may mean for his friends. This was bound to happen sooner rather than later. Thus did Jusis receive a message from a name he may have only seen once or twice.]

Jusis Albarea.

This is Diarmuid ua Duibhne. We have yet to be in direct contact and for the unprompted message I ask that you pardon me. However, I will get straight to the point.

The reason I contact you now is because I would like to speak with you in person regarding the Black Order and recent developments in a neutral location of your choosing. I give you my word that my intent is solely to ask a few questions.

I've spoken with colleagues of yours within the Black Order's Kaisou team. Lapis De Fiore and Hinoki Ayato. If you doubt my sincerity, they will vouch for me as the word of a knight's honor from a man you do not know will only reach so far.

Do you find these terms acceptable?

[noblerise]

[This is an unusual text to get out of the blue, but Jusis is used to it. The Order tends to do that a lot to him. He reads over the text from Diarmuid and considers the terms carefully. In the end, it doesn't hurt to collaborate with the Libra users since he feels that he has a good relationship with them for the most part.]

I would be happy to speak with you further on recent developments and answer any questions you have to the best of my ability. If you're amenable, I would recommend Kami State Park or Blue Fish Park at around 2 o'clock for this discussion. I trust your honor since you seem to have a companionship with Ayato and Lapis.

Is this acceptable for you?

[At least Diarmuid was the last person to drop a surprise kid onto him.]

I accept these terms. At 2 o'clock you will find me waiting for you in Kami State Park. Thank you for agreeing to the short notice meeting.

[Indeed, probably slightly earlier than 2, the rather unique and striking Diarmuid was in the park ready and waiting to finally meet with Jusis. Finding his way somewhere relatively remote as to not draw attention as he is wont to do whether he wanted to or not.]

[noblerise]

[Jusis arrives at Kami State Park a couple minutes earlier than 2 as well. Both of them clearly have the same mindset for punctuality. It's not difficult to locate Diarmuid and he walks leisurely over to him. Despite how casual the walk is, there's an alertness in his eyes that says he's prepared for a serious and detailed conversation.]

Diarmuid, correct? Or do you have a preferred way for me to refer to you as?

[twofoldfury]

[An alertness Diarmuid noted immediately. Habit made him go out in public with sunglasses on, but for the sake of this conversation he removed them and stowed them in the pocket of his coat. That same look was reflected at Jusis.]

Diarmuid is perfectly fine, I am not one to stand on ceremony. I'm honored to finally speak with you in person, Jusis. Though if there is another way you would prefer I refer to you as, by all means let me know. I'll gladly adjust.

[Not a ceremonious man, but certainly one to never skip on pleasantries. He's noted much about Jusis in the past half year through word of mouth and his own announcements and organization.]

But again, I will to get to the point. I've asked this of both Ayato and Lapis and have heard Zhongli's stance on it as well. First, I would like to hear your current opinion of the Black Order. Nothing that will risk your team to confess, naturally.

[A pause, contemplative.]

Second, should you find this agreeable. I would know more of Guardian Teresa Hathorne and what her being stationed here means for the Libra app users. ["If she will threaten their safety is sitting openly" between the lines.]

I do not expect to hear anything more than you can say without risk.
