Eight has already committed to guarding the healers in his conversation with Sieglinde. Before getting a message from her, he's liable to be found on the battlefield punching his way through whatever machines he crosses paths with. This isn't his first rodeo, and while he doesn't feel like he's got a chocobo in this race, he's kind of stuck with circumstances such as they are. If somebody needs a spot-check on heals, a defensive buff, or a magical wall...or just some fists that can punch through armored metal, this guy can dash in.

He may not consider himself one of the team, but Eight's a protective little guy, and he'll back up anyone he finds before Sieglinde calls. After that, he'll be found guarding the library, not that it'll need it with those librarians around.

Having seen Akademia in ruins after its occupation, he's no stranger to repairs and will be inclined to quietly help out. He's still not part of the team, mind you, he's only got one of those in his heart, but... He can lend a hand or two.

As a note, I will not be topleveling due to exams. However, I can hit up others.
