"I'm not all too good with cooking but I'm serviceable. Just point me in the right direction and I'll do my best." Nako said as she moved to assist Aleski with a quick move but first she washed her hands using the nearby sink. It was older and it poured slowly due to the fact the pipes in it were older but it was connected to the nearby stream that ran nearby. One of Salvation's Corporate allies had bought this for them. Nako looked around for something too do but it became quite clear that she had no idea what she was supposed to do.

Yosuke laughed hard at her reaction. "I was just joking about it." He said between trying to catch his breath. He became interested in this story about Natsuo and decided if he ever got the chance he should ask about it. "You do have a interesting weapon choice I'll give you that but I can also have a kusarigama if I wanted to use one." He was of course talking about his Imperial Arms. He was not bragging about having it. He was just being his playful self. "It's just to...swingy for my tastes. I don't think I want to stab my self in the back in a fight. It won't look good on a resume. "I disagree a little on that but I'm not sure where my thoughts on it is. I hope you don't have a plan for me." Yosuke said with a fake look of horror on his face. "I doubt I'll win if you decide to attack me."

Yosuke followed her to where Aleski was. He looked at the person on the ground with a knife just above him. "I'm fine. How are you doing today?" Tsking he pulled the knife out and handed it back to her with a smile on his face. "Is it wise to leave toys laying around like this? Someone could of got hurt." Yosuke walked over to help with the cake. "What were you thinking about doing with the cake?"

"Ok Mr. Yosuke, can you get one of those spatulas that are used for frosting and just layer the cream I made in that bowl on the cake?" she asked after taking the knife from him and stabbing it into a nearby cutting board. Turning to Nako she began speaking again, "Ms. Nako could you help me with the decorations after i smooth down the cream? I wanted to make it look like the a bird... you know to symbolize that we are gonna free the the citizens" Aleksi said before she walked over to a cabinet and began pulling out confectionery decorations such as sprinkles and candy ribbons that would be used to wrap the cake.

"No problem, I can handle that." Yosuke grabbed the spatula and got to work. He didn't know much about making cake but this was a simple enough job he could do it without messing it up. After he was done he looked it over and it wasn't bad. He moved out of the way so they could finish the cake after he put the spatula down in the bowl. "I like the idea of a bird. Also, I call dibs on the spatula when you are done." He licked his lips at the thought of licking it.

"Free isn't the word i'd used. We'll have more rights but it will be governed harshly but fairly knowing Xerxes's group. Though people won't be murdered for simply saying something bad or what have you they will still be under the rule of the Empire. Remember our goal is reformation not destruction. Destruction only leads to violence and more infighting than it's worth. Otherwise we'd be with Nightraid right now...or at least some of us." Nako said simply but bluntly she didn't want to come across as condescending but she didn't want her to keep thinking the wrong things about the group she had recently joined. Why Xerxes had chosen her was beyond Nako's knowledge but she trusted her leader. "Alright I got some origami skills from an old friend I could use to help you make little paper birds. Just remember to keep this cake somewhere safe sweety. We're going on a mission soon. Well hopefully Xerxes was looking at all the people he could last time i saw him. A paper stack larger than me and wider than general ogre's fat head."

"Why hadn't Xerxes or Night Raid taken her out yet?"

To Halia, that question was simple, if a little naive. It was a question that she, being a pragmatist, knew perfectly the answer to. The ultimate truth of the revolution's powerlessness, the truth of the stalemate.

"The Revolution - and Xerxes - aren't anything about her because we simply can't. We're not ready, and that's the truth of the matter. If we try to take her own head on, then all that awaits us is destruction. She's being ignored in favor of Ogre because there's no way to deal with her, it's as simple as that. What she does is horrible, inhumane, unjustifiable." she said with a scoff,

"She gets away with it because she's powerful and no one can touch her.. That's the blind truth."

"You misunderstand what I meant. I was talking about how strong she was not why she wasn't eliminated. It was a testament to how strong she is that neither group has decided to take her out to save the trouble she may deal out later. Besides there's more than one major general out there and they're all targets." Kotaro simply stated ignoring she was patronizing him like some idle novice. In all respects Kotaro was probably more experienced then she was. Not that he particularly cared. Getting up and putting his knife into his pocket Kotaro walked past Halia. "The Boss is probably done. I'm going to check in too see if he needs me. If not then I'll go to the target range. Practice my shooting. You do what you want." Kotaro said bluntly without a hint of friendliness to it. He was rather clear on the fact he was not going to forget about Halia questioning his loyalties anytime soon.
