[As if in consolation, she pats his head. Pat, pat. Sorry about your predicament.
When he gives his name, though, she freezes, hand still hovering above his head. Oh. This is the guy Shinjiro and Mitsuru had mentioned, the guy Ken had weirdly heard about but never met. The other leader of SEES. It's with a plethora of mixed feelings that she gazes down at him, not really sure what she's supposed to feel upon meeting a guy she's trying very hard not to think of as her replacement. Like, that's just not fair to him! If he's anything like her, he never asked to be the leader.
Well, as usual when she can't decide on an emotion, she slaps a smile on her face and pats him one more time before settling back on her heels.]
Kotone Shiomi. You're the leader of SEES, right? Me, too.
[She could elaborate, but she simply doesn't. Like, that answers his question about the holster well enough, she's pretty sure?]
