"I didn't say you needed them." mentioned the Thorn Queen with a cheeky smirk. "I said you wanted them. Those are different things. But I totally get it...." she said seeming to find amusement in this. Since he'd already chosen the members and she wasn't opposed to them, this was mostly just standing around chatting. "Also do they really work for you, you know since the numbers Chiyo sees are like all in her head?" she asked this was merely a curiosity.
Meanwhile the girls around Shoichi seemed to be addressed once more after the departure of the Storm Queen. He seemed to have most of the people he wanted for his team, except for Sawa who hadn't really put herself out there just yet. She'd been chatting with Mikasa but she'd watched the exchanges happening here and seemed stunned by them. "Eh, I've been checkin' everyone out. Ya'll are really lively. I don't think I'd do that Vongola group... it looks like it has a dress code I fall a bit shy of~" she said jokingly. Such a conversation would continue between them for a few moments. "Also I kind of like that girl, she seems like she does lots of stuff. But they seem a bit hard to approach." she said her eyes flickering over to Chiyo who was now standing beside and chatting with Kanda.
"Fuck! But she's gonna be so good, it's fuckin' annoying." said Chiyo but she soon enough gave up on Kaori. She supposed it was for the best, she and girls didn't tend to get along that well anyways. She supposed then it wasn't much to worry about and instead she'd flick her eyes over the group of people who were before her. "So, Kanda-nii got any favorites I should consider?" she asked of the young man. She was willing to take his opinion on a couple of the candidates there was one though that she was having regardless.
Meanwhile, Shizuka smiled and nodded as Xanxus joined them and she was asked if she was going for Mikasa. "Hai, Mika-chan is still the best possible fit for the group I am making right now. I am going to assume Sho-nii didn't go for her so~" and with that Shizuka soon made her way over to the group to begin conversing with Mikasa about joining her team. "Mika-chan, I am surprised you came. Did ya' think about my offer?" she asked of the girl who seemed to be a bit stunned. "I considered it yes, but I really don't think I'm made for a team or anything." she said seeming to be a bit sad about it. But Shizuka had Chiyo's eyes so she saw the more minor things playing below the young woman's speech. The twitch and eye flicker towards her friend who looked to Shizuka to be a bit messed up physically or something of the sort. "Yare yare. Blaming yourself for a hurt teammate, who has already moved on enough to join another team. Not crying so much but still a bit soft yeah?" she asked of the girl. Who seemed stunned by the observation. "Ano, it isn't like that... I just." she started only to have Shizuka finish. "You feel guilty. I get that... but you gotta have some fun. I am not asking anything too great and it looks like your friends all want you to have some fun. So hang out with us. You aren't the only one to have a team fail, but you gotta get back in there or you're just gonna stay the way you are." she said to the girl extending a hand. Mikasa looked to her friends who seemed to agree. "She's right, Beautiful. Plus it would be fun to get out there again." said Sawa who was still undecided at this point. "Also you don't have to feel bad for me. I'm going back out too, Takeuchi-san said he'd help me so we'll be able to hang out together like we used to. Or rather even better." and with these words of encouragement, the pink haired girl had tears falling from her eyes. "Okay I'll join up." she said taking Shizuka's hand. Which seemed to excite the girl. "Yare yare... that took far too long. No need to cry." she said with a motion to the other guys that they'd gotten the last person they needed.
