"My method also doubles as a psychological counter tactic. Openness about my testing for poison is to show I am prepared for such a tactic."

Shio took a few bites of her food, absorbing what Kasumi had said about lasers. It was indeed an experience to learn from. The clear takeaway was that lasers were quite a formidable weapon and should be avoided if you are likely to have one directed at you.

"I would not steal myself," was all Shio said about Kasumi's wallet theft. It was not her place to comment on someone's behavior from the Touhou family, so she only said what she would do, even if it left the wrong assumption that she disapproved, when she in fact, was completely ambivalent. Her training had done more than allowed her to follow protocol, but truly believe it. She gestured to indicate she was not interested in the PDA.

"If I had killers, I would likely suspect there would be more than two of them, unless you count tentative plans," Shio responded, unsure of how to handle the comment. "I do not know if there is a way for me to prepare for lasers."
