#osamu is mentioned here and gordolf/goredolf is at the end but I don't want to tag them bc they're not the focus in this snippet orz

"Sure," Oberon muttered, not bothering to keep the sarcasm out of his tone. "Thanks for having me, I guess."

He was sure Osamu was the only one who was grateful to have him along [to the mini-Singularity], no strings attached. Jiang Ziya was clearly running through several "damage control" plans for whatever Oberon may do next in his head despite his otherwise friendly demeanor, and Arjuna had a look on his face that indicated that were it not for decorum and his own restraint, he would have already sunk an arrow into Oberon's head the minute he stepped into the Command Room.

Well, that makes two of us. Sort of, anyway.

Before any of them could say anything else, however, Gordolf cleared his throat.

[since these sorts of ideas are roaming around in my head anyway, here's a sort of out of context snippet about the start of oberon + arjuna + jiang ziya related dynamics ig?? post lb6, pre tunguska (since I like to imagine jiang ziya being summoned before tunguska lol), in the au where miya osamu is in ritsuka's role]
