[So, Jusis did a coin flip for which of his two best friends gets asked this question. Unfortunately for Elliot, Fate has decided the redhead gets to answer.]
Elliot, I have a somewhat strange question to ask. Do I act or in some way seem like I'm some sort of knight? Fairytale or otherwise.
[At least he's straight to the point.]
I've been called as such by at least two different people.

[Oh well that's a question. A question that Elliot needs next to no time to think about it]
Hm...yep! I'd say so!
Hm...yep! I'd say so!
[Ugh, Jusis doesn't want to, but with the alarm bells screaming in his head after that Zodiac post, he knows he has to make a sacrifice, here. This is the part of his job he dislikes.]
Elliot. I apologize for contacting you so suddenly, but I wanted to let you and Rean know that I won't be available in the evenings for some time. Weekends, unfortunately, included.
[He's about to wreck his sleep schedule since he's fine at night with his Light powers. Not to mention... well, depending on what info they get in the next day or so determines his next steps.]
I'm hoping April will allow my normal schedule to resume. However, I'll let you know as soon as I can if that's not the case.

[Considering the timing of this call and Jusis's vagueness...it's not hard for Elliot to put 2 and 2 together that this wasn't lawyer related]
I'm sorry, Jusis, you didn't come in clear. Must be my reception. Hold on-
[He makes a show of stepping into a more secluded spot so the students don't overhear]
Here we go.
Anyway- did you say "we have a situation that affects all of us and I could use your help instead of trying to do everything myself"? Hmm?

[Jusis has been debating whether or not to ask, but, in the end, he gives into the desire for a certain someone's company. He's at least been practicing his singing so that he doesn't completely embarrass himself.
Hopefully, this isn't too... date-like. Or forward. Or something.]
I've recently found out that there is a certain flower in the Arcadia complex's courtyard that blooms when you play music for it. I've been singing to them for a couple of days to make sure this is true, and they've been blooming when I do. If you're interested, would you like to play music for them with me?

[While Jusis spent a great amount of time overthinking this? Elliot gives little thought at all the moment he reads about the music loving flower]
A flower that blooms when you play music? That's incredible!
I would love to! I've never played to a plant-based audience before.

[This comes in a week or so after the resolution of the peach thing and the mid month post, because Amal has timing.]
hey elliot! hope you're doing well
i have a bit of a favor to ask, but only if you have the time

Amal! I'm doing great, thanks.
Oh really? Well I hope I can help. What's up?

Elliot, would you like to meet me for lunch or coffee or something? I find myself needing to vent and I think you may be the only person who understands what I'm going through right now.
I would love that. It's been WAY too long since we've had a chance to talk outside of work.
Where would you like to meet?

Mr. Craig, I don't mean to bother you, but could I trouble you with something?
Hello Snow!
Don't worry, you're never a bother. What can I help you with?

[Hey, it's Jusis's favorite migraine here to spread the misery.]
Hello again, Elliot. I hope you've been doing well.
Jusis suggested that I reach out about a music-related inquiry, which my friend didn't answer in the way I had anticipated. I was hoping you could shed light on this with your expertise.

[Okay no. Slow deep breaths Elliot. You're supposed to teach about music, and this guy wants to ask a question about music. It's fine. It's fine. Totally fine]
Oh? What's the question?
Oh? What's the question?
Hey, uh...Zulius let me know that apparently he was the one who ended up telling you I was alive.
[Along with two other people, but Moxxie didn't get their names, so Elliot is the one he's apologizing to.]
And he mentioned it's really upsetting for people to think people are dead when they're not, so...I just wanted to apologize for not trying harder to let you know I wasn't still dead.

[Well that's a call he wasn't expecting]
Professor Moxxie? Oh-
[Zulius talked to him huh]
Y-Yeah, he was the one to tell me. I'll admit it was definitely a shock when I heard the news, but it's not like I've been mad. I'm not your student anymore, so I didn't expect you to go out of your way to give me life updates.
[he pauses]
Have you been okay though?

[Jusis isn't even really thinking about it until he abruptly is thinking about it. He suddenly wonders about that steak dinner he and Elliot had once, as a way to make up for Varian... kind of ruining the musician's date night by exploding Zodiac's apartment complex. This feels best spoken about over voice at the very least.]
Elliot? I have a strange question for you, if you have a moment.
[His friend will absolutely be forgiven if he's feeling dread about this, given how Jusis's questions to him have... Gone in the past. Never forget his ace confusion over telling Amal to kneel.]

[Elliot meanwhile has been kinda busy dealing with the last bit of upsetting news Jusis dropped on Class VII. Rean is busy comforting Ash for now, so Elliot wonders if Jusis is contacting him privately about the same subject to keep Ash in the dark about the plan. Which hey, smart!!]
I always have time for you, Jusis.
Did you find information on that Alba guy already? Oh no, do we actually need to kill him?

[Maybe it's not surprising to get a message from Fugo so soon after that post, but here it is, with Fugo looking almost grim.]
I've already cleared it with Jusis and I plan on asking Rean as well, but would it be okay if I stayed over for the time being?

[Elliot isn't the least bit surprised to get this message, considering everything]
Of course it's okay, Fugo. You're welcome over anytime.
Do you need a ride?

[Varian doesn't turn to Elliot as much as he used to, when he first got here. If he took the time to think about it, he'd realise it's a sign of growing up- that he doesn't need to desperately cling to the first authority figure who gave him the time of day.
But just because he doesn't rely on him as much doesn't mean he doesn't value Elliot's advice a lot. ]
Hi, Elliot. Can I talk to you about something? I'd really appreciate your insight.

[It has in fact been awhile since Varian contacted him directly. Which wasn't a bad thing, Varian was getting his own life in this world. But he is still quick to respond to his student, as always]
Of course Varian! What's up?
Of course Varian! What's up?
That depends, I'll have to say no if it's sexual or a felony.

Actually I lied, it'd depend on which felony.

[A short while after Blade's post, a cat that Elliot may or may not recognize as belonging to Fugo will come up to him, set a small bag down, and leave.
The bag contains a number of elixirs from Hyrule, a couple of useful items purchased from shops in Undertown, a good luck charm, and a note:
For if you end up going into the Labyrinth.
- Fugo]

[He recognizes that cat! he smiles as he looks through through the package. Fugo is always so thoughtful.
Sometime after, he'll send a message back]
Thanks Fugo.
Hopefully I won't end up needing the elixirs, but I'm glad to have them on hand just in case.
We'll be careful, promise!
