The Captain of the Twelfth Division seemed to fiddle with the box in her hand. She really wasn't good at these social interactions, even with her own subordinates. Even so, she had something she needed to ask of this young man and she'd see what his response was. "Ano, you've been doing a great job with everyone since Yonsokei's untimely demise. These things happen and you've been a great help around here..." she said feeding a few compliments. "Would you be interested in maintaining that level of involvement, I think you'd make a great Vice-Captain." she said opening the box to show a newly crafted Vice-Captain's badge specifically for this young man if he wanted it. It was up to Captains who they chose as their seconds, and though normally one with a bit more experience was usually necessary, she felt that for the type of place she ran, Tatsuya would be best.
The redhead watched from the rafters shifting slightly at the approaching snake. 'How... did you get in here or up here?' she wondered as it rose its head but paused at her fore. This wasn't a scary thing, but... she didn't know anything about the creature, it would be bad to end up with a snake bite, so she kept an eye on it while the potentially new Vice-Captain was offered his position. 'Eh, our peers are setting a horrid precedent for the rest of us... this one is gonna make it so I'll have to push really hard,' she thought as she reached out with a single hand and a very low whisper for the snake. "I really hope you're friendly. I have never handled a snake before, don't bite me... yeah? You'll get me caught..." she said her voice exceedingly low.
