Helping Meimu up, Neviah released a small smile showing that she's settled in and calmed towards the situation. As she helped her up, Meimu didn't skip a beat whatsoever in her search for her bag, completely putting off the fact she had just had a nasty spill. Neviah just gently placed her hands together and watched quietly as she looked for her bag. Once found a moment later, she proceeded to reveal items for a small picnic! A kettle, water, and a small burner in which to brew tea, but it would seem the absent-minded third seat forgot the main ingredient, being tea itself. As Meimu brought out sandwiches and sounded as if she had accepted defeat towards a failure of a beverage, Neviah proceeded to enter the contents of her pouch into the kettle and place it onto the burner. It was Neviah's tea that she was honestly going to make for herself, but thankfully she had enough to actually make the tea! The tea was a white ayurvedic chai that was originated from India, but since the local plant life was so diverse, Neviah was able to get the required blend. Firing up the burner, Neviah allowed the tea to prepare as she proceeded to sit opposite of Meimu.

Neviah closed her eyes, and inhaled silently to take in the aroma the surrounding flowers gave off, making the scent much sweeter. It was peaceful times like these that Neviah enjoyed most. She wished there was truly no evil in the world, and everyone could enjoy a serenity like this. No pain, or suffering, just peace and harmony. Either way, Neviah's moment of silence was cut when Meimu spoke about a message. Neviah looked over to her with her tan eyes open and head tilted slightly in confusion. A message for her? Neviah usually doesn't receive messages unless they're to inform her of Vice Captain meetings. Neviah just waited a few moments while Meimu pondered over the message, trying to remember what it was, till the words "Unohana-Taichou" came up. The glow that usually surrounded Neviah slowly dimmed as she changed from a curious look, to a slight disappointed one. It's true that Unohana let go of her position as 4th Captain, but the reason was so abrupt that she didn't even tell Neviah. What really upset Neviah over it was the fact that her time of being close to the one that raised her was now gone. Unohana was like a Mother to Neviah as after Senna died, Unohana raised her from birth to about 4. Then after she graduated the Shinigami Academy, Unohana took Neviah into her Division, and made it to Vice-Captain. It was a rewarding experience, and now that she's gone, it just makes everything hurt.

Neviah finally heard the next statement of "Next Candidate". This made Neviah nervous. She didn't want to meet anyone new, she just wanted Unohana. Why did someone else have to come along and take her position? Neviah knew that the Gotei was a job after all, and new people come and old go, but with the family she had established, why did the one that meant to most to her have to leave? Either way, regardless, whoever the new captain is, it is Neviah's duty to guide her captain as best as she can...

"I... I don't want a new Captain Meimu-chan..."

Neviah whispered it softly so it was hard to hear, but it was honest. Neviah wasn't comfortable around new people, and her new soon to be "boss" was something that scared Neviah. But Neviah would soon have to face that fear as someone she hadn't even noticed approach. A strange looking woman came and asked about the sandwiches as she proceeded to consume one. As she spoke, Neviah's focus changed immediately as she put on the appearance of her father with a harrow gaze. She almost looked threatening for a split second, till Neviah put herself in check and realizing there was no threat here. Shaking slightly, the woman revealed herself to be Tiamat Crow, new Captain of the 4th Division. She asked Meimu if she was her of course, but then proceeded to point Neviah out.

Neviah shrunk down a little, huddling onto her chair as she instantly became nervous. She wasn't sure about this individual as she appeared so different than most, and yes, while Neviah did wear a white kimono as her uniform, she also wore her Vice Captain band around her obi sash on her waist to signify her position. Also, under official times, Neviah would don the Shinigami Uniform, but since this was her day, Neviah wore her casual kimono. Either way, if it was true, Neviah had to respect the new Captain as it was her position, and Neviah's new boss.

"Y... Y-Yes Ma'am... I-I am N..."

Neviah was having a hard time speaking as she was so nervous in her response to Tiamat, that she had to do it quickly, while huddled in her chair.

"I am N-Neviah Clixx-Kimura... Vice-C-Captain of the Fourth..."

Neviah proceeded to close her eyes, and try to imagine herself in another world. Her heart was racing a bit, and she was so nervous.

But why was she scared? Was it because this was a new Captain? Perhaps it was because it was someone new she wasn't used to yet? Or perhaps, it was due to Neviah being over alert for a moment like her Father is? Either way, Neviah waited for a moment of peace from either Meimu or Tiamat before opening her shell...
