[He can't say he's looking forward to this conversation, but... Ash has a right to know. ]
Hey Ash, are you busy? There's something I need to discuss with you... probably in person.
Hey Ash, are you busy? There's something I need to discuss with you... probably in person.
Yeah, I'm in the kitchen.
Actually brewing some tea, do you want some?
Actually brewing some tea, do you want some?
Sure. I'll be back soon.
[And he is, though he takes a few minutes to join Elliot in the kitchen since he has to make sure the dogs don't track mud everywhere. When he gets done, though, Elliot might be able to tell that while Ash seems typically nonchalant, he's...slightly on edge.]
Sup?

[By the time Ash comes in, Elliot has sat down at the kitchen table. As he comes in and does the routine with the dogs, Elliot will pour Ash's cup of tea so he has a hot drink waiting for him]
Ha- you look cold. Come sit down. [He can tell that the kid is on edge, so he's starting casual until he get him sitting] Dogs give you any trouble today?

[Despite the nerves in the air, Elliot will still chuckle slightly at that. Or maybe, because of the nerves]
Ha, maybe he knows how bad they are for the environment.
[Or more likely, he's a skittish idiot. But that's besides the point. Elliot will take a breath]
... Just so you know, this is still your home, and we're still your family. [He'll just say that point blank, since he knows that must be preying in the back of Ash's mind]
This is... about a decision I'm making for myself, that I think you have the right to know about.

[yes Ash you go ahead and try to hide that relief. Don't want to appear uncool under your completely nerdy father]
Ah, well....
.... I-I'm joining the Black Order.
Ah, well....
.... I-I'm joining the Black Order.
[Yeah he expected that. He holds up his hands defensively]
T-To be clear, I don't like them or agree with how they do things!
But... well, I'm sure you noticed Jusis hasn't left the Order. And he says he won't leave until he finds a better option than the ones we have now, or manages to change the Order himself.
... I can't leave him to shoulder that all himself.
