"And thats okay. Jeanne. You lived among them only a few years. I've lived hundreds. Of course our views would differ. If you don't want too, you don't got too...but. i find that normal people are very refreshing, and good for a childhood."
"Then don't force it. Long distance cousins DO exist. Magecraft is just to ensure no one looks up the family tree too hard. You think I could do what I did if everyone was interested in my parents?"
"I'd like something akin to normal, but not at the expense of using magecraft to get there. I wouldn't feel good about it by forcing myself into their lives. Just doesn't feel right otherwise."
"Blood tests DO exist now a days. And simple memory modification spells take no effort. End point: do you *want* them to have normal connections? Or just be surrounded by people and Servants forever?"
"They don't know me though. If someone told me I had some estranged cousin that I couldn't dig up anything on. I'd start asking some questions. That's what I'm saying."
"Jeanne. Your a 100+ year old *magic ghost* trying to reintroduce themselves into society. You have to lie eventually. Like me. I'm *Technically* 25 for the past 30 years. But, i'll put some feelers out. See if I cannot track one or two down who may fit the bill."
"That requires a lot of lying should I somehow track down someone that who would even buy the 'estranged cousin' right off the bat."
The saint would sigh.
"Besides yourself and a few other magi I at least trust...it's pretty much just myself and Sieg."
"Perhaps. I'm 90% sure your family's bloodline still exists. Could play it off as being a distant cousin if worse comes to worse...i'm not too important should I get killed fighting a DAA."
It'll be frequent enough. Besides Sieg, once this whole Grand Order operation ends. My babies won't have any other family left."
Jeanne's eyes sharpen.
"Given you've somehow managed to live this long. You're basically the closet thing to family they'll have."
"Such a scary gaze. You trying to pry into my affairs? Fine fine.I'll relent.I'm actually working for Chaldea temporarily as an Holy Relic examiner. They collected to many Holy Grails to not catch the Church's Ire. So i'm here to make sure they aren't sealing away the real deal~"
"Ahahaha...ah i'd wish. But such isn't in the cards for little old me. I'll keep on my way till my job as a vessel is done...but. i won't mind a visit or two~"
"If you can ever get out, then I'd bet that the kids would like to see their Uncle Aulon regularly. Besides, I'd like to see you more when there's no otherworldy buisness to attend to."
"As a Reserve member, I do not work often with my fellow members. So...no. i don't think we've formally met or cooperated on a battlefield...as for not seeing me. That IS the idea. I'm not allowed alot of Freedom unless i'm called upon. Church secrets and all that jazz~♡"
"Not new...per say. I'm a Reserve Member. The Agency has 7 'Active' Members for fieldwork. But, in case of death, illness or personal matters, an Eighth Member is assigned as a Reserve. A stand in while the Agency refills its Ranks or lets the Active seven use their PTO."
"Debt is Debt, Oh Lady in Blue. It hasn't changed my entire life. For I have witnessed debt turn men into fiends. When you live a life like mine...you must see it all. But i'll admit. Your circumstances and mine...ARE different~"
