"Discretion becomes automatic. It stops requiring effort very quickly." She replied, taking a large gulp of her own drink and eating some more of her noodles before they got cold. The food really was excellent here - it would be her sole port of call for food in the coming few days or weeks as she endeavoured to take on the challenge of facing Anastasia, the first Arena Leader that those on their Rites came across.

"The last time I saw a laser, it killed about fifteen people. I like them." came the reply, along with a little chuckle. At least Shio had followed the advice and done something on her own initiative - that alone was a positive indicator. 

"Do you think stealing is wrong? I'm afraid I have a habit of doing it. Except I'm not afraid. And it's more of an obsession than a habit. My last therapist diagnosed me a kleptomaniac. I stole his keys, wallet and PDA. You can have the PDA if you want it." Kasumi offered, reaching down into a bag next to her and pulling the PDA out. It was clearly stamped with the logo of a small-time doctors' clinic in Lifan, and it seemed ornate enough to be more than a standard work PDA - perhaps a birthday gift or something of similar sentimental value. It was too risky to sell it in Lifan, so she'd sort of just accumulated it and left it.

"You seem prepared enough to have more plans than potential killers. That's good. Especially if they have lasers. You should be prepared for lasers." She nodded sagely.
