Gladio looked a little relieved, though was that really what Xion's issue was? Had he made it sound like she didn't have a choice when missions were concerned?
"That's right." He said, keeping his tone calm and as gentle as he could. "No one can make you do anything, least of all me. Stay or go, join a different team for the mission, sit off and watch it from the sidelines, you do as you please. No one will force you." Judge a little, maybe... if you can fight and choose to watch others struggle and not help in any way you can, even in the smallest of ways, there would be definite judging unless there was a damn fine reason. And something told Gladio that Xion had that reason.
"I'm not the only lead of blue team. But I can safely say that we're not here to force anyone to do anything. That's the reason for this 'meeting'. I wanted to find out more about everyone, what they can do, what they can't do... I wanted to try a little... organisation." He looked up then, he'd had his eyes on his notebook as he spoke, but now Gladio turned his attention to Xion. "For everyone else, having an idea of what to do when a mission happens seems to be reassuring. We never know what the mission is until just before it happens, but being prepared can't hurt, can it?"
