"Great," Gideon says, in tones that suggest she does not think this is especially great. Still, it could be worse. Pyrrha didn't try to kill Harrow. She did fuck Gideon's mom, which is weird and bad to think about. That smile could mean anything.

(Gideon won't entertain the idea that it means Pyrrha is happy to see her. How can someone be happy, after ten thousand years? She's been burned by old people once. She's not about to get burned again.)

"Cool. Well, I'm Gideon." Since they're doing introductions. "But more importantly, I'm Kaworu's sister. You're into, like, duty and shit. You know that means something."

There. Common ground. This is totally a conversation. Gideon is doing so well, here.

"It's good to meet you," Pyrrha pauses half a second, "in person." In Gideon Nav's person, instead of Harrow's. A terrible pun, sure, but that runs in the family.

Duty and shit, it could make her laugh another day. The Baby is too on edge for it. "It means, when I take you into the house, you do not attack anyone in it, and I do not let them attack you," Pyrrha spells out. "You speak with Kaworu and see if he is ready to leave yet. If he is, you both go. If he is not, you leave him be, or I make you leave him be. Either way, it means I take you back out of the house, and you can return to the dojo or wherever else you wish to go."

She lifts an eyebrow, looking across as Gideon Nav. "Duty and shit goes both ways."
