Girls' Night In [Abalia, Makoto, Elyss]

Team name? How ridiculous. Special Squad 17 was fine, Makoto saw no reason why that wasn't okay. Maybe they shouldn't keep the seventeen, people might ask too many questions about the number and the other special squads. The good diligent girl she was meant that she didn't even need to inquire about those other special groups, if she needed to know then Abalia would tell her. Curiousity killed cat.

What begrudged her more was the knowledge that she had to wait until the end of medical leave. What a bore, medical leave was so boring. It could be worse, at least she had her lessons with Shishiyuki to fill some evenings.

"I don't particularly care too much about naming the team. It seems pointless."

Makoto followed along after she said it, allowing for Abalia to lead them to eat and continue with the night. It'd been a long time since she was in a social concept like this, dinner with others in a home rather than some social outing she dragged herself to in a public place. How uncomfortable to think about.

"Well, whether or not you choose to name the team matters little. If you do decide on one, however, do remember to inform me of it. I would be rather interested to hear what it is that you have thought of."

Leading the way off toward the dining hall, Abalia seemed, for once, as if she were almost a normal woman. There was still the profoundly clinical air to her, the generally cold demeanor that seemed as if she would study even a kiss on the lips with all the dry analysis of an expenditure report. Yet, at the same time, she was almost relaxed. This was, after all, her home, and these were her friends. It would be strange if she did not allow her guard to be lowered.

"I hope that the two of you do enjoy dinner. If there is anything which you would prefer which is not prepared, please do feel free to request whatever you might wish."

She was a rather good hostess, in no small part from the amount of formal events that she had been a part of in Vastime. However, that was ultimately rather inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Ultimately, it was simply in Abalia's nature to assist those she considered worth her attention.

The fact it's pointless is why they should make one? What dumb idea was that? Makoto just shook her head while she followed behind Abalia. She was a little hungry but she didn't like people cooking for her, eventually she'd have to get over that at some time. There was not a picky bone in her body though, whatever she got given Makoto would diligently eat. It was hard to really unwind though with a strange way it stood out to her that Abalia seemed more at ease than she did. Well, it was her house and she had a will that could kill anyone in the room. How did it seem at all surprising that she was confident or relaxed?

"I will be sure to keep it in mind."

Makoto said she'd consider it but that was a lie, it was unlikely that she'd even ask for seconds let alone something specific. She had mixed feelings about this whole thing, she was uncomfortable despite the environment and the fact she thought it wasn't bad.
