Mostly. Zidane could also order me around, but so far there hasn't really been a need to do that. But if their orders were in a conflict, my first and foremost duty is towards King Arthur.
[Though he would need to see the situation to see who he'd side with then. He hopes it never comes to that and he doubts it actually will.]
Being a knight would suit you. Much better than fashion.
[Zidane's lands are near Celliwig, but he's used to traveling that distance and he's taking the bird's way... literally. An eagle landing to the park and turning into a human is totally normal.]
[Well, she'll head to the park as discussed, arriving whilst the sun had still barely risen...she early mornings, so it didn't bother her. The earlier the better, when she was heading out as herself.]
Jean...!
[As the 'totally normal' eagle turned, she jogged over to him.]
[A small laugh at the comment about Hazel, typical doggo...still, she was grateful, really, that he appreciated her company. She'll jog alongside him as she tries to work out what she wants to say.]
...If I did become a knight, I wouldn't want it to be as 'her'. But- that would be betraying her, wouldn't it?
[Jean thinks for a moment on what to say to that.]
I don't think it's betrayal. Not at this point. You've done all you can, but at some point it's just time to find a new mission. She's not here to tell you what to do. [If she was he'd punch her in the face.] You've been going beyond what she told you to do.
I don't even know if she'll ever be brought here, either. I'm on standby for a mission that may never be called.
...supernatural summoning to another realm on my death was something even Junko couldn't predict. There were no orders in place for that, so I resumed operations as normal.
[Her expression seemed conflicted, though. Deep down, she knew she couldn't keep this up indefinitely.]
I've...been following that for a long time. Even when I allowed 'Mukuro' to exist as separate from 'Junko'.
[Mukuro stopped when he did, a confused expression crossing her features as it sunk in what he said.
A squire would be the first step, wouldn't it? And besides, since Darin had left she'd been solely relying on her Fashion Vlog and unpredictable quests for her income. This would take some of the pressure off...
More importantly, though, it meant she could stick with him and back him up as needed.]
... You're sure? I- I promise I won't disappoint you.

It sounds familiar...the sort of duties it would involve. Hard but comfortable. Fashion's just hard.
no subject
It's definitely better to work with something you're familiar with.
[That gives him an idea though. But he'd rather discuss this with her in person.]
Come on a morning jog with me?
no subject
[She wanted to talk to him...about what she wanted to do from here.]

no subject
Good morning. I hope I didn't make you wait too long.
no subject
[She couldn't help but give a small, awkward smile of her own.]
...Let's go. Um. I hope you didn't mind me bothering you this early.
no subject
[And after that Jean wasn't really sleepy anymore. Thanks pupper. They start with a slow jog at first.]
Besides, you're never a bother.

[Well, this is a good timing as ever. He stops the jog to look at her properly.]
That's why... do you want to become my squire? Just until you're ready to accept knighthood under your own name.

I'm sure you won't. Welcome to the team.

...Thank you.

Have you met Zidane before?

[They'd exchanged stories around the campfire, hadn't they?]
...I've not seen him in combat though.
