Twelve.
June took in a sharp breath, tilting her head in something similar to agitation. She was bullheaded, sure, but she wasn't so blinded by her hatred for the fire clan that she would dismiss their suffering. This was probably the closest thing to a cry for help they were capable of. Of course, it wasn't like she didn't want to dismiss it. It wasn't her problem that they couldn't set aside their gargantuan egos for one second to reconsider their unnecessarily aggressive military strategy. God, she wanted nothing more than to just spit in their faces and tell them to fuck off.
But what irked her was that she couldn't, and didn't. Firstly, because if she did, the man sitting before her would probably squash her beneath his steel-toed boot, and then go and raise hell at Earth Clan Headquarters. But what really dug under her skin was that pang in her chest she felt at the stinging sound of that stupid Hellhound's voice saying "twelve." If she didn't know better, he almost sounded hurt.
What's more, even if they hadn't forcibly plucked her from the greenhouse, she might have still felt inclined to heal for them, an objectively impetuous group of people. There was an annoying part of her that, independent of circumstance, felt something akin to sympathy for them, and it irritated her to no end. She shouldn't have to feel sorry for them. Sorry was hard to come by, and she couldn't go around giving out free handouts.
Sighing, she lifted her head and held firm eye contact as she listened to him speak his terms. Her gaze broke for a moment as he mentioned her family in passing. She certainly had one, but she chose not to comment on her current lack of one. Continuing to listen, she nodded at his conditions, they made sense logically.
Her gaze broke for the second time as he spoke to his underling about her housing. She shut her eyes and turned her head away, grimacing. For once, she felt the same way as the hound standing behind her. But still, it seemed that Igneous was insistent on treating her like a temporary guest, less so an unwilling hostage. Before she entered the building, she wasn't even sure if she would be given a bed, let alone proper lodging. She had half a mind to expect to be thrown into a holding cell and given a bowl of gruel for lunch and dinner.
"I don't mind at all, that will be fine. I'm sure his home is indeed..." She paused, glancing back at Samael, "lovely." It didn't mean she loathed the thought of sharing lodging with him any less.
"It's June, sir. I understand the conditions of my stay. I assume I will be accompanying some of your missions on the battlefield, but I ask that most of my work be done in the clinic. Treatment is most effective if done in a controlled environment, as I'm sure you're aware. I have a list of general equipment I'll need, and I will need a few other people assisting me in the clinic. And one other thing." She paused, her eyes piercing into his.
"For the time that I heal for you, I ask that you to cease any and all offensives against my people. If I catch wind of any harm coming to an earth clansmen by the hands of a fire clansmen, the terms of this agreement will end and I will refuse to heal."
