That doesn't change the fact that I know you well enough to recognize your strength.
[Jusis sighs softly.]
Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Either way, I hope you know that no matter what, I'll protect you whenever you have need of it. Even if it means defiance.
[He'll defy his superiors and damn the consequences if he has to, if it means he can protect the ones he loves. His very soul would never allow otherwise. Elliot and Rean are more than worth that sacrifice if he must make it.]
Awww...thanks, Jusis. That's pretty nice to hear, you know?
[He's flattered]
And honestly, you're such an earnest person that I feel like I can really believe you when you say that. [Which says a lot. he doesn't trust as much as he seems like he would] That's why I don't think people seeing you as a knight is a bad thing. It means they think you can be trusted to look out for them.
I don't know about that. [HE. MUST. TSUN.] ...Though, I can't deny that I do take that trust seriously. I don't want to break it.
[Jusis clears his throat. He still doesn't feel like a knight or anything, but that strays into a deeper topic that seems inappropriate for this current discussion. Maybe after the Fae have been dealt with....]
That being said, I should let you go. I've monopolized enough of your time. Thank you for giving me your perspective on this, Elliot. I appreciate it, truly.

Hehe, don't worry about it! I like getting these calls from you. It always brightens my day.
But I'm sure you're busy yourself! So take care until we talk again, okay?

I... I will keep this in mind. As... embarrassing as some of the topics have been, I must admit that I do enjoy it.
[HNNNNNNNN—]
You take care as well, Elliot.
[Yeah he's going to hang up and scream into a pillow FUCK—]
