Tsuguka just sort of held her arms up as Taharial approached, not quite sure how to respond. "...It's erm... It's okay. A little numb still." It took a moment to respond, by which time the angelic girl had already departed. Her slightly wavering voice said she might have been blushing, but considering the redness of her face in general, it was basically impossible to tell. "Thanks for taking care of me. I feel much better now."
Akiashiro's comment was met with a small agreeable bow. Tsuguka felt like she could have been doing more for the woman, but things had been that way for a while. For now, the angular neko just had to think about the mission that loomed before them. Mitsuko and Kale got equal treatment as she noticed them.
"Nice work, Santo Hei Ulvson... Glad to see that you are looking much better, yourself." A welcome distraction, whilst she regarded her new Daisy. "The spare was unnecessary, through, however..." It didn't look like she particularly wanted to explain herself, and several seconds were spent in silence, but the unanswered question was beginning to feel uncomfortable too.
"Last time... Well, I was way too naive. My light load out was based on the assumption that we would be facing humanoid opponents." Her fingers regarded the glossy finish of the new shield, before she regarded Dirjon again, looking a little more fiery all of sudden. "Different mission, different tactics. I'll block the enemy in with the shield and lay a shoulder gauss cannon shell right in their faces. Second phase, handheld aether sabre. Might be a bit of a problem turning around, but defensively, it's superior against most aggressors at close quarters."
