"Okay." Shio responded to her commentary on social interaction.

"I have a contingency to my poison check. Omu berries catch most poisons, even non-lethal ones. Hiding it would not be worth the effort." 

Shio's response was one of the few subtle implications she was making, but it was entirely inadvertent and due to her inability to articulate her comfort at dealing with scenarios that didn't involve poison - either because they were likely not able to be prepared for, or because they fell within a scope of her talents that she was confident enough in to handle at a critical moment. If someone was trying to do something to her, and poison was eliminated, that would leave few options. An explosive was already handled by the aura from her Kujaku. Long range weaponry was also handled, for the most part, by the multiple ranges of vision. Spells and physical assault she was comfortable handling as they came, due to her training.

Shio also said nothing about Kasumi pickpocketing the man. He family was not on the same status as Kasumi's, so unless there was some transgression against herself personally, it was not her place to comment on the matter.

In an effort to 'add to the conversation', Shio let loose the first synaptic firing, "What do you think about lasers?"
