"Listen... first I'm going to say to hell with duty. Go where you feel you're needed the most. Would I love you to be here with Blue? Course I would. But it's your choice where you feel you'd be of more use. And if you've someone you need to be with, then be with them.

But... if you do come with Blues. I think I'd like you to lead our medical team, if you wouldn't mind? Noct isn't a healer, but he can make a potion that can help in a pinch. Mami generally comes with us and is an accomplished healer." His smile widened some. "If you'd need anything else, let me know. Supplies, anything."
