[She nodded.]

Yeah... it won't be for free. But it'll be worth it... I won't have to live with the arseholes holding a bloody gun to my head anymore. I won't have to do whatever they want.

[What she didn't say was the method, that was on purpose. What further motivated her away from the Order was learning that they'd kept Velvet on a leash by not saying what happened with her brother-in-law.

And again, she omitted her fear for the entire thing. But she let that weakness out with Waver and Zhongli. They helped her on her feet again and goddammit she would use their help to soar.]

That's what I wanna talk about. [Another pause to sip her tea, to settle herself. Then looked back to Josuke with an unshakable determination in her eyes. Waver suggested this to keep her protected.

But that wasn't her only motivation.]

I get why Factions like ours are needed. They gotta keep people like Krusnik from poking their heads out and hurting more people. And we can't do that if we don't know about 'em. There's a lot about the Spirit Realm we still don't know, and a lot we can do to try and keep it safe.

I don't wanna just leave the Order than do nothing. I'm not gonna run away from a responsibility to help out where I can, even if I can't do it with the Order anymore.

If you lot got room in POKEGO for a healer, I wanna sign on once I'm out of the Order and I figure out where to stay.

[Josuke's quiet as he listens, occasionally petting his Nickit while Eunie speaks.

He smiles a little, then nods.]

Believe me, we've got more than enough room for another healer. I could even take you on as my apprentice, if you'd like? [There's a beat, before he adds--] And if you'll need a place to stay... I'd have to run it by the other two first, but we've got room here for you, if you want.

[medicgunner]

... Really? [It wasn't that she was surprised Josuke would take her up on it or as an apprentice, its that she didn't expect it to be that easy. She didn't expect to have things so quickly sorted for when she got out.

She was stumbling on broken wings when she went to Waver. Lost in confusion and fear and a thousand "what-if" scenarios. And yet here she was with tension she didn't know she had releasing from her shoulders.]

If you could do that it'd mean a lot. It'd really help me out of a bind, having somewhere to go after all's done. Thank you, Josuke.

[onahairtrigger]

Yeah, really.

[He reaches over and puts a hand on her shoulder.]

We'll get this figured out, yeah? Anything to help a friend, Eunie.

[medicgunner]

[Eunie wasn't a girl to deny a comforting touch. She was determined, fully set to walk this line. But the gentle hand still got a smile out of her.]

Yeah. I'm glad I got people to rely on now.

[onahairtrigger]

[That gets his smile widening to a grin.]

Damn right you do.

[Long pause.]

Also, get to thinking about trees, because you're gonna need a code name.

[medicgunner]

Trees? Oh right, you all have tree names don't you? I guess I never realized it till now.

[She was more about plants and flowers over trees but then again, trees have flowers.]

[onahairtrigger]

Yeah, it's been a whole thing. We'll have to pick out a good one for you.

[medicgunner]

Good thing we got time to brainstorm one, innit? [She was... actually a bit excited for the future. It's been a while since she was. She always dreaded the long term as though she knew the blade would come down on her neck any time.

She actually felt kind of safe to bask in potential freedom.]

[onahairtrigger]

Hell yeah! We gotta talk about a Pokemon for you, too...

[And it's clear that Josuke's excited as well.]
