The next morning/Titania
Koda's POV:
Eleanor: I have something to say.
Eleanor walked up to me and Velvet.
Eleanor: There's something I've been hiding... until now. I've been acting undercover on a special mission for Lord Artorius. I was to watch over Koda and bring him to the Abbey headquarters. So vital was my mission, I was to do whatever it took... even kill my fellow exorcists.
Koda: .....(So that's what Artorius wanted her to do.)
Laphicet: You were gonna take Koda to them...
Eleanor: I'm sorry for deceiving you Koda and everyone else. Originally, I was going to try and get you to lower your guard, then take you in. But then I realized you wouldn't fall for a trick like that. However, I'm no longer intend on following the Abbey's orders.
I was a bit surprised by this, and Velvet has surprisingly not blown up on Eleanor yet.
Velvet: Your turning your back on Artorius?
Eleanor: No, I still believe in the sincerity of Lord Artorius. That the world he seeks is one that will benefit all humankind. But nevertheless, I simply cannot bring myself to condone the methods he has chosen to achieve that vision. So... I will help you to protect the therions. Until I discover the answer I seek.
Laphicet: Eleanor...
Eleanor: I want to live a life that I don't have to be ashamed of, and to do that, I have to learn the truth for myself.
I walk up to Eleanor and put my hand on her shoulder.
Koda: At least I taught you honesty, Eleanor.
Rokurou: Hahahah! So you live by your emotions after all.
Eizen: Maybe you found your own creed.
Magilou: Welcome to our wonderful world of wickedness!
Eleanor: Don't equate us! To act in opposition of one's feelings is to act opposed to reason!
Velvet: You never make things simple, do you?
Eleanor: You should be glad I don't!
Laphicet: Yeah. After all, she's my vessel.
Velvet: Yes, yes.
Koda: Whatever.
Rokurou: So, I think our next order of business is to find ourselves another therion! ....Well, that's the extent of my insight. Anyone got any actual leads?
Koda: We would need to find where the next earthpulse would be in order to find the next therion.
Magilou: What if we had Eleanor swipe some intel on them from the Abbey? That could work.
Eleanor: ...I don't know.
Eizen: It wouldn't work. Officially, the Abbey still consider's her and Koda traitors, so who would leak anything to her or him?
Velvet: Yeah. Besides, we can't put Laphicet or Koda in danger like that. And anyway, Eleanor's terrible at being a spy.
Eleanor: ...Ungracious but accurate.
Laphicet: You know that special underground cell from yesterday?
Koda: Yeah, why?
Laphicet: I wanna go back there. There's something I wanna try out.
Velvet: ...Alright, let's go.
