... I know.
[His shoulders sag with the weight of the memory, and his voice echoes with the burden of such knowledge]
Your team wasn't the first Black Order team I encountered. [His hands grip his tea mug tightly at the memory, and his eyes are downcast. ]
The first time I dealt with the Order, I was forced to watch Rean and Hunter die. It was only by the mercy of a death goddess that I got them back a few horrible days later.
The Order? They couldn't even be bothered to say "Sorry for your loss".

Yeah, that sounds right. I glanced over the write-ups for Kaisou before they sent me this way.
[He isn't going to say what was in those write-ups, because it would piss Elliot off more than likely.]
An' the team they sent out here wasn't even the worst of them. The one they sent after me was a dick. [God.] I'm not sayin' this to try and talk you out of it--I ain't stupid--just. Warning you.

[He nods] I thought as much. For all your bad boy tendencies, you always seem to do the readings.
[He says that with a bit of affection in his tone. You bookwork you]
I know, and I appreciate it. I'll try to be as careful as I can be, I promise.

... Thanks Ash. You'll be the first I call if we get into a pickle.
[He does mean that too. Ash is young, but he is a member of Class VII. And hey, Elliot and Jusis were younger than him when they were running around Erebonia getting involved in a civil war, so]
That said, I know you're going to be worried, but I want you to keep living your life as you have been. You've earned your freedom, I'm just staying in long enough to make sure Jusis gets his too.

[She hasn’t responded to Blade’s post, mostly because—it’s. A lot, to look at. It’s a warning of what she herself might turn into if she isn’t careful. It’s a reminder of the Bloofer Lady and of the demon taking over so briefly in November, relinquishing control over to Lucy very reluctantly.
But reading through the comments, watching the videos—she catches on a phrase that gets her attention: how do we get him un-possessed? She can’t, won’t jump into the fray when it’s already like this, too many people clamoring to be heard, so she sends Ash a message:]
How do you know how to free someone from a contract like this?

[A kiss, before he picks up one of the bags he has laid out and presses that into Ash's hands.]
Here.
[And after he does that, he pulls out his own ARCUS, prying Katze out and slotting Kaleido in its place before also taking out the two regular quartz contained within--one being a new one Ash probably hasn't seen that Pat's gotten yet--before holding out both the Master Quartz and both of the regular ones.]

I'm sure. I'm not going in, so you're going to get more use out of these right now than I am. I know you're not much of a magic user in a fight, but the new one seems to recharge magical energy by walking around. I don't know if it does anything else.
[Ash has seen the other one in action, with Luminous Ray.]
The bag's got some elixirs from Hyrule that I figured might come in handy. Boosts and stuff. There's also some stuff from Undertown I thought looked useful, and a good luck charm.
