I think it’s a lot of fun to imagine what would happen if Misaki learned Li was a contractor.

She wouldn’t ask his Messier Number

She wouldn’t ask his contract or his payment information

She wouldn’t ask his alias

She may ask who he works for, but she wouldn’t pry to his face if he refused to answer

She MIGHT try to look into his employer behind his back, but that depends on the situation

She would still call him Li, would half-joke, half-seriously ask for information on jobs and his real goals, she’d let his personality and past and private information stay very private. Why?

Because that’s how she treated November 11. Granted, she learned after the fact that Jack worked for the SIS, but she didn’t push for that information. She let him tell her on his own. She let all of this information be given to her at his own pace with almost no pressure from her whatsoever.

So if Misaki learned that Li was a contractor, while I think she would certainly feel betrayed for a time and view him in a somewhat different light, I think she would view him ultimately the same as she views Jack. (Or the same as Marinette views Chat, your pick.) Him being a contractor is, in the long run, not the biggest deal to her. It’s him being BK-201 that is a big deal, and even then, canonically? I don’t think she really minds one bit.

Over all I just really like the idea of Misaki/Section 4 working with Li knowing that he is either 1) a contractor or 2) a mercenary who fought in SA per a previous post. Like, they are aware that Li himself has the intentional to be very dangerous, and that he has seen some shit, but they are completely unaware that he is BK-201 specifically.

It’s fun.

[9:06:39 AM] Lyra: I just had an idea for 6

[9:06:50 AM] Lyra: I dunno if it would work or not

[9:07:42 AM] Lyra: I've been thinking all along that there needs to be some greater clue that costa's involved in the stuff that happens, something minor that they don't pick up on at the time but they figure it out in the end

[9:09:14 AM] Lyra: and I was just thinking, he would need to guarantee that nora and anton were delivered to him unharmed, which means he'd need to tell the proper beasties not to attack them specifically, which could translate into at least one instance where one of the beasties backs down from fighting nora when it had a clear advantage

[9:10:30 AM] Lyra: which is actually great, especially if the others witness it, because it can work to call into question her loyalty in 7, like the council can look at that and say well obviously she was in on it, right?

Lyra: I wonder if it'd be weird to teach mal guitar when they're on the run

Lyra: OMG

Sheriff: ?

Lyra: MAMA PLAYS GUITAR, I BET NORA KNOWS HOW TO PLAY GUITAR

Lyra: SHE COULD TEACH HIM

Sheriff: =D!

Lyra: *flailing*

Sheriff: and that's when she realizes maybe he's not as much of a jerk after all

Sheriff: or maybe she knew that already idk

Sheriff: *throws cheese everywhere*

Lyra: it'd have to come up post-5, though, 'cause she doesn't know he sings 'til then

Sheriff: wonders if mal could use it to help her cope post-7

Lyra: thinks it's more likely she'd pick one up at like a thrift store or something when they're buying clothes in 8 'cause they have absolutely nothing to their name and she's like yes I need this and then while they're on the road her and mal have a bonding moment and she's like COME ON OVER HERE AND LEARN SOMETHING

Lyra: only not in capslock

Sheriff: well obviously XD

Lyra: but yeah, I could totes see that happening

Lyra: *files away*
