Warfield Catsat [Komugi, Valerie]

A collective sigh had been felt with the slaying of Asher and the general crumpling of the Hollow command in africa. While some ....particular threats remained, the entity known as Metatron had seemed mostly stationary and perched over the hole. Without the continuous harassment, evacuation efforts had been able to go into full swing. A majority of the civillians had been moved out of immediate danger from the Exclusioin zone and caravans further helping them secure routes into areas with better security and ample means of beginning to recoup.

With immediate danger held off, it was a matter of helping them pick up the pieces. Establishing Shield locations and getting people food and treatment. Those that werne't focused on helping the African citizens continue to head to safer areas went to supporting the trops on the ground. Gotei and Vandenreich personnel alike were provided with medical attention and supplies, and the joint Perimeter around the hole was steadily cemented.

Valerie herself sighed to herself, pleased as she was taking the time to make her way around one of the gotei camps. She'd just finished a meeting with one of the Seventh Division officers going over reports on injuries and recovery. Not too many popped up, frankly the volunteers from Scaffold didn't wind up having to assist their own relief members too often these days. Solid meeting, no news was, blissfully, good news. Relaxed as things had become, there was still an edge in the air, as if some new threat might surface from the hole at any moment.

But thankfully there were distractions. Like the tiny little feline traipsing around the camp.

"Officer Komugi! Nice to see you up and about. I take it you're feeling better?" Valerie's voice promptly cut through the cool evening silence as she smiled from ear to ear and waved to the shinigami. Certainly they came in all shapes and sizes, but it was still rather fascinating to see the little felid.

"Hm, a little earlier than you usually get up. Have you had something to eat yet?"

Valerie flashed a smirk as Komugi offered such an energetic wave in her direction, chuckling a bit to herself as she watched the feline bounding towards her. She intercepted the girl by holding up a small packet. A granola bar offered to the feline as she took a bite of one that she herself had been carrying around for herself. even if the feline wasn't hungry she could keep it for later. All the same, she smiled just a bit wider as Komugi appealed to being referred by a nickname instead. What an amicable little kitten.

"Fair enough, and I trust little Mugi has been getting enough rest? But I suppose getting something decent to eat would help a lot too." She grinned. Mugi seemed to read her mind as she promptly offered for the pair of them to head to the mess hall together, and she promptly gave a light chuckle. "Sounds like a good idea. Not gonna lie, last time I saw you out on the field I was a bit worried you'd wind up in recovery a bit longer. You shinigami really are tough, even you smaller ones." She mused thoughtfully. Truth be told it wasn't as if she'd seen a terribly huge ammount of shinigami action over her career before the last couple years.

Valerie's smile only widened smugly as Komugi gave that indignant little huff and went on to tell the tale of her. defiance of the medical staff. Good for her~ "That right? Well good for you, recovering so fast is something to be thankful for. But surely it's nice that the staff is trying to look after you. why I've heard you're rather popular with some of the nurses. I think I heard the term 'adorable' quite a few times." She snickered, pausing to glance over the way to the Medical Camp, as if to wonder if any of them were keeping an eye out for the feline.

The question from Komugi however had her chuckling as she could only imagine what members of the gotei thought her days were like. "No, I'm not gonna be setting up tents. With things calmed down, Scaffold's focus will be shifting. I've had a few meetings with some of my Shield officers about our next move. With the Hole more stable, we'll be continuing to move Refugees to safer areas of the region, as well as expanding outward. Hopefully, within the week, this entire area won't have a single civillian in it. We'll be working with the local African governments to create more or less an Exclusion Zone. Buffering the hole from the rest of africa. So yea, lots of fun plans and meetings." She flashed a crooked smile over her shoulder at the feline as she did so.

As they arrived at the Canteen, she held the tent flap open for Komugi as the pair of them slipped in and made their way towards the serving station. She let the feline move in ahead of her. They seemed a bit more hungry than she was.
