Yes, sir, I am. [ Memories rush through Brigade's mind ] Hikaru told me stories of some of his other lives. How he was killed as a child in a good few. And I saw the video of his 27th Awakening.
[ A pause ]
I would like to help in keeping those from happening ever again. [ A beat ] I would like to be there for Little Brother when he needs his family.
Well, if you are lucky, you will have more than enough time to talk to Fukuzawa-san on the matter. As things stand, I think that your reasons for wanting to join are more than valid.
[ The Wardens of the Wolf. He's not sure who exactly are members but if Tohru Fukuzawa is one of them, Brig feels he'll have a really high bar to hurdle. ]
I will do my best, sir.
[ It comes to mind that this might be the last chance he gets to bring this next thing up with the Chief. By the sound of things, Eli may have his hands full once they're in the US.
It's taken up a lot of his time. A lot of dossiers and files to examine. Lots of names and family lineages he's been tracking. And some that worry him because records can only tell you so much. ]
Chief, about that assignment you gave me. [ He pulls out his tablet and gets ready to send the file ] I'm done. Sorry it took a while.

You're interested in becoming one.
[It isn't a question. Brigade seems like That Kind of Guy. Making it a question would be almost insulting.]

[Speaking of... glancing towards the door now.]
I'll have to head off and make my own preparations. I'll shoot a text over to you once I'm ready to port us both out. Got any last questions?
no subject
[ There were a lot of them. And two of the most important started with the letters J and K. ]
I'll send them to you when we have time again so I don't clutter up your files, sir.
[ He's glanced at the same door the Chief's been looking. Exit stage right, here he comes again. ]

[Clapping your shoulder now.]
See you soon.
[And off he goes.]
