His smile broadened. "I await with baited breath. It will be good to fight at your side again. It's been much too long. Until then!"

"Lord Commander, if they're sinning, I don't think they particularly care about attending mass," he countered, smirking.

"Oh no you don't. You owe me *nothing*." Thancred reached out, clapping his arm across Meteor's back to pat his shoulder in a friendly gesture. "I will accept your help, so we can *both* do our jobs. But you owe me *nothing*," he stressed to him.

//Perhaps I'm looking in all the wrong places, but has anyone made the lvl 80 Astro jewelry a separate piece, yet? Like, the gorgot, specifically. The rest would be nice, too.

Thancred let out the most imperceptible of sighs. "It's less a burden, and more a... acknowledging of something I haven't voiced aloud."

He was quiet, thinking about how to begin voicing this sentiment. "...I am not used to relying on people. I never really have. I'm used to being relied upon. It +

“Nothing new,” he dodged instinctively, before letting out a slight chuckle a moment later. This was *Meteor*. Of all people…

“You would think I would be accustomed to my limitations by now.” He was doing better, he knew he was. But every now & then, something snuck up to bite him. “I’ll be fine.”

This implies either that one hasn't sinned before, or that they are getting caught.

"Should he not be preoccupied, Alphinaud or Alisaie might be able to guide you. I do not seek their assistance with great frequency, but they have done some of my bullets for me in the past." Gods, he hated this. This... *reliance* on something that he should be able to do with ease.

It took him a beat, then a beat more, as if internally debating whether to bring it up. "Meteor, there is no doubting your ability, but... have you been taught of the task? Different bullets do different things, after all." Last thing he needed was to try to aim a healing shot at someone, and +

I could send it via encryption, but that could simply be negated by you showing up.

He hummed softly. "Neither have I, although Urianger has. The loporrits have eagerly been consuming whatever information we've been able to give them. You might have things to learn from them, in the not so distant future."

Wouldn't want anyone to overhear via linkpearl. I will tell you once you arrive. *a chuckle* You are capable of faster transport than I, after all.

"And that is why we keep you around. Our friend finds trouble, and most frequently *you* get us out of it. Flair for the dramatic & all." He was clearly joking with her at this point, grateful for the lighthearted tone of the conversation.

"Jokes aside, have you been back as of late? To the moon."
