Tsuguka ate silently at an even pace, absorbing the surrounding conversation of others without getting particularly involved. Salad and the bare minimum of meat, plus a coconut water. The exchange with Hanako felt like it was over much too quickly, through in hindsight she probably could have said something less overly grandiose and impersonal... On the other hand, keeping her subordinates at arm's length was basically part of the Shosho's job description, too.
Slowly, her eyes wandered over to the newcomer Mao. Being polite to the extra-dimensional being on board may have obscured her own intense scrutiny, but the fact that the samurai was now around was the real reason why Tsuguka was happier taking a back seat. Guns were too messy in crowded spaces. Someone trained to that level with a blade was something to be truly appreciated, like fine art. It was oddly sentimental, that antiquated garb, and she couldn't help but wonder just how much her life would have been different if she had been handed a katana upon creation instead of a rifle.
"How far in advance were you told about this assignment, Nito Juni Mao?" Tsuguka made a brief glance so that the question wasn't entirely out of the blue, but very much left the woman with enough personal space to ignore her question should she deem duty more important. "To attain such an impressive post for your first assignment... Your level of skill must be quite remarkable indeed."
