"Hai, that tends to be the case." said Shizuka. This man was surprisingly into the conversation they were making, she hadn't given much detail in her statements but they were still talking. When he went on to say that he doubted she needed the extra edge based on what she'd already said she smiled. She wasn't a paranoid type of person, but if she was, she'd have thought he was fishing for information, of course when he went on to mention that this was likely how it sounded she couldn't help but raise a brow. "Yare yare. I am not the sort of paranoid that would make me assume that sort of thing. Besides, Aki talked to you for quite a bit and didn't feel the need to alert anyone else to your presence. With all of those things being the case, I can assume you aren't here to do us any harm, so I'd tell you anything you'd like to know." said the girl her blue eyes traveling over the bike the young man had. Now that she thought about it, it was rather nice. "And you're right, I don't really need the extra edge, but it could still be useful. There might be a situation I haven't thought of yet where such a strategy could be worked in without compromising the overall effectiveness of the team. Like a small trap..." she said willingly continuing the conversation for the sake of chatting up the blonde man.
"Arigatou Gozaimasu~" said Mikasa to the thought that the young man liked her new look. On the matter of him looking the same or different she could only shrug. "I see everyone pretty much the same way I always did. You all look older but none of you really look different to me." she said perhaps it was more than that, it was easy to recognize people she thought of as her family in such a way.
