[Cool! She will approach her with a small bow of her head.]
Shamsiel-san, yes? I thought I ought to say hello.

[ susato may find suriel seated just outside of a cafe, with two plates of fresh croissants on the table! didn't they get the notice that citagazze is mediterranean, not french? smh.
their daemon is currently a squirrel inching ever closer to one of the plates. ]
Hi Susato! I think we'll be able to speak more freely now.

Hello, Suriel-san.
[She will come to sit down across from them.]
Thank you. . . then it really was a matter of speaking in front of the. . . the other faction?

[ satariel is happy to catch susato on the boulevard, daemon currently trailing behind them and playing with the fur on the bottom of their cloak when they slow. ]
Hello there, Miss Mikotoba! I'd be glad to talk now, if you'd like to spend some time together?

[She's a little startled! He's lucky she doesn't toss him down the stairs - she looks like she was just about to.]
. . . Rameel-san?
I'm not certain it is friendliness so much as it strikes me as prudent to know all of you.

Baraqiel-san?
[She will give a small bow of recognition.]
Thank you for meeting with me. I thought it best that I come to know all of you whose faction I would be in.

. . . Hello. [Bowing her head slightly.] I am Susato Mikotoba.
[Poor Shamsiel. . . they seemed to take things hard today.]
Are you alright? I know this is not what you wanted.
Are you alright? I know this is not what you wanted.
[ like before, baraqiel will come to meet susato - though their daemon is absent, this time, something uncanny that doesn't seem to faze them in any way. ]
It's difficult to say, but with being caught in his crimes, a punishment has to be enacted. [ they don't. seem very sympathetic towards qi rong, but they are tired of all of this, at the same time. ] So we'll see soon, I think. We can keep him contained and away from others in the meantime.

[Listen. She's not sympathetic to him, either. She doesn't look at all sad as they talk.]
Good, but. . . does that mean if we had "caught" someone innocent, like Sheba, we could forego punishment?

Hmm. It is interesting. It has a flavor that is a little unusual for tea.
[She's not sure it will be any good. But. . . ]
We must make the best of the ingredients we can find, yes? How have you been faring with the changes, Suriel-san?

Good day, Miss Mikotoba. [ they can meat at one of the restaurants that have been left behind, and satariel gives her a warm smile. their daemon, otter-shaped, squeaks a greeting as well. ]
I've never had kelp tea before, and I've served quite a few different kinds of tea.

[Yes, it's gross. She knows it's gross. But she will bring out a kettle, some tea cups, and a little plate of vienna sausages as a snack.]
Oh dear, then you may have quite a refined palate. I am not sure this will do - I do know how to prepare kelp tea, but it is rather different than any black or green tea and I am not certain the type of kelp here is quite right.

Yes, in case you are the one behind the deed.
[Hands on her hips.]
Given your like of jokes such as those costumes. . . can it be you also had Mr. Sholmes cursed?

[ baraqiel will bring susato to the side of the crab party, before the pre-curfew headcount happens, just for sake of ease for their conversation. ]
I've noticed. The rhymes were harmless but annoying, given when they happened, but this is a little more aggravating.

[Oh, good. She made them a big heaping plate of crab, then.]
Particularly when Mr. Sholmes has been afflicted with the same curse twice in one week. I just want to understand how this has happened.

[The garden is good. She's waiting for them - she's brought some tea made from the strange variety available here. Susato's mood today is a little anxious and a little sad, but she smiles to see them.]
What we talked about last week . . . I wonder if I could ask you for something? [She gestures for them to join her.] I had thought if there was a way to protect the people here. . . but if the higher ups are involved, I suspect the cost of that would be steep, wouldn't it be?

[Today is rough for a few reasons, but she is still happy to find Satariel. She will gesture to them to sit, having brought some tea made from the odd leaves available in the garden.]
. . . I ought to have spoken to you yesterday. [It was just a mess.] I know how difficult that must have been. . .
[The execution, that is.]

I don't know if that's true.
[She will approach, however, and come stand besides them.]
I've been trying to learn what I can, but I don't know that it has been so useful. But we did learn about the angel that approached Mr. Hoover.

Oh!
[She will take the thermos of tea with a grateful smile.]
. . . Thank you. I was going to prepare something for you for agreeing to come to meet me, but I thought I ought to find out if it was any good first.
I wanted to discuss your thoughts on what we learned from Mr. Hoover. Have you had a chance to hear?

Good evening.
[She didn't want to disturb them, but. . .]
You said we ought to speak after, about Mr. Revali.

I bought some - it was rather expensive, but worthwhile, I hope.
[At least I hope that's okay - I included it in my location comment.]
I have a bit of a sweet tooth, but I wouldn't feel right stealing something that's only an indulgence.

[ since there were party games yesterday, satariel will come to meet susato in the courtyard early the next day, waving when she's spotted. ]
I'm always ready to explore! If you don't mind starting the day off with some time in the markets, Miss Mikotoba.

I certainly don't.
[She's here in her sunhat as well as a linen blouse and some belted oversize trousers - a little cooler in the sun and easier to move around in than a kimono while still covering her.]
I wanted to shop for some supplies we might need, but you never know - we may find something a little more exciting, too. [. . .] While we look around, maybe you could tell me more about your home?

[She's just going to have to break down and cry, so. Hug accepted.]
I don't even know why I - I never believed in any of it. He wasn't even -
[He wasn't even a Temporal what was the point of any of it!]

[ satariel knows.
that doesn't change anything. she still comes when susato writes just one word, practically storming from her watch at the jail - rin deserves privacy with those he meets, anyways - to find her.
and there's just the softest: ] Oh, darling Susato. [ with her arms open when she does. ]

[She will accept the hug, because it's cuddle week and because she has to talk to someone who knows, it's impossible otherwise.]
Oh, Satariel. I have never believed in any of it.

[ there's a sort of... assessing look, when baraqiel comes to find her, even if his gaze isn't actually visible. just checking her out after her stay in the stockade. they seem satisfied, after, ears twitching. ]
Any particular reason? Or a new interest in swords? I know you're a proficient martial artist.

[She’s okay. Stiff and frustrated but in a way it felt good to have someone treat her like a criminal.]
. . . You say you know that, but clearly I am not seen that way. [Everyone thought she was helpless. No one gave her a second thought.] I need them to see me differently.

[ satariel is - a little stressed, a little tense, but keeping it together as she comes to find susato, hands folded palm-to-palm, fingertips down, daemon raven-formed and pressed up against her hood. ]
... she - Sheba isn't, no. [ clearly upset by this, but her tone stays as light as she can manage. ] I can't feel her anymore, the same as I can't feel Lord van Zieks.
But we know what happens to the people attacked by spectres, now. For sure. And so we know what happened to him.

[. . .
She closes her eyes.]
I've thought about whether this is - selfish. If I am only trying to assuage my own guilt. If that's all it is, it wouldn't be right for me to ask.
But . . . if I have the ability to deliver everyone an acceptable solution out of this pain, it seems to be that that is a way I can be of use to everyone. I've shared everything that I can, so maybe the best way for me to help is to keep everyone's spirits up, and not let them become bogged down in guilt and self-pity the way I have become.

Ah. . .
[Rin. Please.]
Well, that's alright. [It isn't like there's any time limit on it!] I did want to speak with you either way. Do you want to get a little to eat with me?
