Azure snorted at Misaki's statement, shifting so that she was closer to Verde. Hei knew she was ready to grab Verde and run if this went badly.
Bindy just smirked.
"Misaki has some questions, unrelated to the Constellation or our cause." He hoped. "One of the departmental Contractors foresaw something in the future--a disaster. One on par with the Hell's Gate events."
That got their attention. Azure's frown deepened, more an expression of confusion than one of hostility. Fox shifted a little.
"Not the EPR again?"
Hei shook his head. "Unlikely." He paused. "She's going to ask us some questions about it. I want you to respect her. She's on our side."
"Our side, yeah," Bindy drawled. "Got proof of that, Fennec-chan?"
Hei winced at the nickname. "It's proof enough that she came to a meeting of five Contractors and a Doll unarmed. You don't have to trust her fully--it's not in our nature--but I want you to help her, if you can. And to respect her. Alright?"
His tone was a careful blend of a request and a command.
