A Glass Ceiling or a Dirt One (Giselle / Reida )

She smiled just a bit wider at that, raising both hands, giving the woman the ol double peace signs. "Thank you~!" She chirped, giving zero context for the thanks as she knew VERY well that this woman could probably heel-turn on a dime out of spite. A brief moment was taken to think.

"Hmmm, not afraid of me huh? That makes sense I suppose. Super a relief though, people who are afraid of me can get super annoying. Soooooo is that all you needed from me? Or shall we start talking about cute boys and shopping?" She ventured idly, taking a step toward the woman's desk. "I'm also a little curious. I was under the impression that Cyrus simply wanted me to be kept an eye on while I did my work in the Sternritter. But with how you're going on, it almost sounds like you're trying to pull me into your little group. Or has the Sternritter's Administrator already given the authorization to pull it's members into your operations as needed?" She asked with a slowly widening smile.

Once again, being intentionally obtuse, but it didn't hurt to poke around just what the power dynamic was around here. WAS this woman given expressed permission to access her? Or was this simply an authority inherent to her division? Was Helle aware that Reida was taking these liberties? Would she care? Probably not in Giselle's case, but even if Giselle was what she was, she was still reasonably a member of the Sternritter, so it didn't hurt her to perhaps poke around that nuance of the situation.

Giselle raised a brow at that. "Oh?~ And why is that?" She chimed with intrigue. Because at this point why not?

As for the rest of the information, that certainly was interesting to note. But she didn't let that show on her face. Instead her eyes got super wide, a soft gasp of excitement bubbling up for her as she reached up to touch her own cheeks. "We're gonna be WORK BUDDIES! I KNEW you liked me! Oh this is gonna be fun! Secret Agents, you'n me! Ooh, should we come up with code names?!" She asked excitedly, more or less on autopilot airhead mode as she internally mused over the situation.

So she really WAS being just plucked from Sternritter operations to get in on this Albedo business. She probably shouldn't even bring it up with her own direct superiors, chances were they would authorize it anyway. No.... either her overseers were already aware or Reida was just THAT confident that they would give the OK. Or she was bluffing. But well, that had it's own complications. Not like Giselle particularly cared. The fact of the matter was that despite the clear and utter disdain the woman had for her, she WANTED Giselle. Oversight could have just simply been handed down to her underlings. If Reida wanted, this could have just been the last time they ever saw eachother in a professional capacity. And yet she wanted Giselle's abilities enough that she was willing to put up with her presence!

And THAT was just too good~

"Don't worry Administrator Reida~ So long as you're with me, you won't have to worry about a thing!" She noted with a cute wink and an exaggerated salute to the woman.

The Zombie's expression seemed to take the woman's words in stride, at least initially. It was, however, a short moment after the fact that first comment that caused the woman's expression to ....change. Briefly, the Zombie simply seemed confused, her brows knitting so very slightly as she seemed to take a moment to try and parse something, going almost completely silent. Making a .... mental note.

But as the conversation shifted briefly toward Reida's rank Giselle could not help but tilt her head. Strange, she would have assumed the woman was higher up than that. A coordinator still made sense but she did wonder a little. Who was the administrator? Well she supposed that wasn't quite so important for the time being.

"Understood~ So, iiiiiiis there anything else you wanted to speak to me about? Anyyyyyyy upcoming projects or jobs? Or should I just expect to see you when I see you?" She ventured curiously, as it definitely seemed like Reida was on the 'wrapping up' end of the conversation. Or at least the part where she might segue into something else.

Giselle quirked a brow slightly at that, about to argue that she had more meant if they had anything immediately to go through, but she supposed the woman's wry reply if anything answered the question anyway. Of course, she herself smiled innocently and raised her hands up. "I'm Sternritter so I wouldn't know anything about that~ But I'll supes keep that in mind." She chimed, tapping her chin for a moment as Reida informed her that she'd probably be pulled along on the woman's next assignment, to test things out.

Ugh.

Truth be told, she was already a little disappointed in the particular use that Reida had elected for her. But she was hardly going to vocalize that contempt. Something something something, signed up for. Blah blah blah, part of a military. "Sooooounds like a plan! Well if that's everything you wanted to go over and you didn't have anything else ya wanted to go over or get out of the way theeeeeeeeeeeeeen anything like, else you wanna talk about?" She asked, grinning and promptly taking a seat and leeeeeaning in to rest her hands on the woman's desk, as if to engage the woman in some sort of casual gossip or personal conversation. Knowing full well that if anything it was probably the best way to expedite Giselle being invited to leave the office and go back to what she'd been doing before being called here: eating snacks and playing with her cat Veal.
