Lila was meandering her way through camp. It had been a few days since the battle of the Jaw and they'd announced that they would say here. As they hadn't announced that they'd be moving to the dungeon before the battle it was easier to make the change but also more difficult. Either way that wasn't what she was concerned about at this moment. That moment would come next. Right now though she was looking for the man that, from the reports she'd read and stories she'd heard, just appeared and helped fight the construct and portaling the Conclave soldiers away.

As if by the universe’s calling, the man in question landed right in the middle of her path as she passed by one of the more solid structures that survived the war, boots thumping lightly on the concrete when he jumped from a short balcony to the ground.
Juro straightened, his face feeling light after the lack of spectacles despite never actually needing them in the first place, and adjusted the scarf over his shoulder, when he noticed the figure he blocked from proceeding.
“Oh, hello Commander!” he flashed her a cheeky grin, recalling the last time they actually spoke properly many months ago, “It’s been a while.”
Jan 7, 2021
She stops abruptly, her hand going to her scabbard and her hoodie pocket where the hand cannon lay. She relaxed as it was the man she was looking for. She quirked her brow as he speaks though. "I'm sorry, have we met before? I don't quite recall meeting you."
Jan 7, 2021
“Forgotten me already? How unfortunate...” he said, creasing his brows as if insulted, although the twinkle in his eye remained teasingly, catching and following her cautious movements, but never betraying the relaxed aura around him. He cradled his elbow on one hand, twirling the perpetual pencil in the other.
“Your sister’s windmills are operating well, I assume?” he asked, despite knowing the answer.
Jan 7, 2021
She squints as she thinks. "You were on Haligan Island then?" She asks. After a few moments thought Lila speaks again. "I... May vaguely remember you?" She says.
Jan 7, 2021
“I was--and am--in a lot of places,” he replied, and left it at that. 
“No matter, whether you remember me or not,” he said with a nonchalant wave of the same slender hand. He met her gaze, burnt amber eyes waiting, observant.
Jan 7, 2021
The Half-breed studies him for a moment. She couldn't get a bead on him, and while it seemed that he was here to help, that made her nervous. "Well I was actually hoping to speak with you. You are the one who helped our troop against the Construct yes?"
Jan 7, 2021
The slightest flicker of a lash, “Ah, mmm. I pulled your newest-- err, recruit out of its cage, yes.” Help was a strong word. Still, the pleasant smile remained.
Jan 7, 2021
"And you also aided us in removing the remaining Conclave soldiers, correct?" She pressed.
Jan 7, 2021
“That--” he pointed the pencil towards her, non threateningly but purposefully, “--was by command of your lead hydroporter.” Juro knew Akkey would’ve called on his abilities the moment he appeared before her, and that was his way of getting ahead of the game.
Jan 7, 2021
She shrugs and crosses her arms across her chest. The sound of metal on metal reaching both their ears. A sound Lila had become familiar with. "Help is help regardless of who asks for it. No matter how you choose to look at your actions aided the Rebellion. My question is why, and where do you come from, and how did you even know to be here."
Jan 7, 2021
Juro was always one to supply answers to those who asked, but the Commander somehow managed to hit every loaded question he so wanted to avoid right then.
He sighed, before shifting his arms in one smooth movement, left hand on his chest and right arm open and palm up beside him, imitating a slight bow. He glanced up at her, lifting his chin, and the lopsided smile on his face was undeniably, charmingly attractive, sandy blonde fringe falling perfectly over his slanted eyes, “My home is a country different from yours, but Aidorin, particularly the Rebellion, sees me frequently because I am employed by your patron goddess.”
His sleeve fluttered as he pulled his arms back towards him, “A Helheim agent, is what I am. Contracted to Hel, whose will is also mine. With an uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time, therefore...” He dipped his head once to the side at that, letting the statement explain itself.
Jan 7, 2021
"I know what a Helheim agent. My father was sent to Helheim." She said not sounding impressed. "So we can expect your help in the future then?"
Jan 7, 2021
His hands slid within his sleeves, letting the question hang in the air for a heartbeat, before meeting her eyes head on, his low voice clear, “I wouldn’t rely on it, Commander.”
Jan 7, 2021
She cocks an eyebrow at that. "And why not? As you said Hel's will is yours, and the Rebellion is her chosen people, therefore shouldn't stand that you would lend us aid?"
Jan 7, 2021
“The world is very big, you know. The Rebellion is not her only domain. If Hel’s directives take me out of it, then that is where I go.” The smile on his face lessened by the tiniest bit in hidden agitation, “ I am not saying I will not assist you at all. I am saying that I wouldn’t expect it consistently, if I were you.”
Jan 7, 2021
She scowls. "I would prefer to have someone I can rely on, but at this point it seems I will need to take what I can get." She said.
He nodded, grin widening again as he relaxed the fingers that were subconsciously clenched around his wrist beneath the navy blue fabric, “That would be wise, Commander.” 
Jan 7, 2021
“So what can we count on you for? Assuming you deign to grace us with your presence, of course.” She says.
Jan 7, 2021
He tilted his head in genuine thought, checking off the list on slender digits, “Uuh… portals, transportation, most of whatever Akkey tells me to do, staying out of everyone’s way… Ah!” He snapped his head up in a sincere smile, “I can usually get any information you’d need. For a price.”
Jan 7, 2021
“And that price?” She asks, her head cocked to the side slightly.
Jan 7, 2021
“A story.”
Juro said it so simply that Lila would’ve thought he was pulling her leg, but one glance at his eyes, lit up in amber and earnest showed that he was extremely serious. “Knowledge for knowledge. No matter how mundane.”
Jan 7, 2021
Her face falls and she slumps a bit. “You’re kidding.”
Jan 7, 2021
“Mm-mm,” he shook his head once, “I’m not.”
Jan 7, 2021
“So I could just tell you about how I stubbed my toe on a door jam when I was nine and you would accept that?” She doesn’t wait for his response. “That’s so stupid.”
Jan 7, 2021
His arm came out again and the pencil twirled several times between his pointer and middle fingers, catching it with a thumb. He wasn’t the slightest bit insulted as he smirked, “To you, perhaps. But not to me.”
Jan 7, 2021
“Then you can keep your liaisons with the Rebellion to my brother and sister unless I give an order. Sound good?” She asks, sounding done with the whole situation.
Jan 8, 2021
“Mmmm,” he hummed in response, not in either agreement or disagreement, tilting his head in acknowledgement. The smile never left.
Jan 8, 2021
With that she left, not even bothering to exchange the pleasantries of a goodbye.
