Aggravated Assault [Cadet Dungeon Dash]

As the gathering mass of dark energy washed over them, Azami stood unaffected, though her eyes drifted down to the unconscious Rui and a smirk darted across her face. Maybe there was something redeemable about this mutt after all; if nothing else seeing his face hit the dirt was amusing and well-warranted enough to convince her to humor its existence. Lowering her head to hide the grin behind T's own, she'd walk forward ready to commune with the beast, Fisher King staying at the back and idly toying with his rod in boredom.

The businesswoman ran a hand up her face after the battle's conclusion, letting lose a heaving sigh. Her strategy had worked yet again but it could have fared better. If she were to ever be promoted she would need to perfect her craft, but this was what these patrols were for. Practice made perfect.
"I apologize for raising my voice like that, I lost my nerve. Good work." Susan approached their new recruit, the one casualty of their combat engagement. He was the one discolored mark on her otherwise perfectly executed strategy but it was not his fault. It could have been anyone with the black energy that engulfed them. Still, this was a teachable moment. She extended her hand down to him so he may pick himself up, her standard blank look upon her face.


The short woman then turned to her team. If she were to be in charge she would take this moment to take charge fully, imparting her expectations. Bossy as she may be.
"And that applies to everyone. I have noticed we do this quite frequently and not only in this scenario. I am not picking out anyone here and I am equally guilty of this on occasion, combat chatter and taunting is perfectly acceptable within reason but do not underestimate your opponent at any given time. We are one step away from disadvantage at all times, two steps away from catastrophe, and three steps away from annihilation. Treat any and all opponents as a threat until they are in a cell or a coffin. Again, good work. Seshat." At the end of her small speech the black apparition would come forth from her subconscious to hover over Rui, hissing and tracing his cheek with a mark of knowledge. This knowledge would give his soul assurance and deal with his pain, and she radiated light to give the team the same.


The Persona disappeared after speaking its ills that likely only Susan was familiar with, and as it did its work she took a moment to check her clip. Half of it left. This made her frown, but they would make due. She stepped off to continue their patrol but paused before going to far.
"One last thing, Terui. I am not your Captain. I am your Team Leader, you may call me Officer Groves or ma'am. Prince Julius is your Captain, I am aware you do not mean it but you give him insult by handing me his title. He has earned the right to be called Captain, I have not." She explained her piece succinctly and neutrally, if a little cold. She would be lying if she said she did not enjoy it at least a little. She did hope to occupy the same position some day. His notes of concern on the other hand would be summarily ignored. Susan could take care of herself, it was not his responsibility to worry after her and she found it frankly insulting that a new recruit would be concerned over her condition. It was worthy of notice that her struggles to keep pace were apparent to the casual observer, she would need to mitigate that overtime. Susan motioned once more, taking off in a blur as she had previously.

As the progressed the team would find themselves at a Junction and Susan would freeze. To their immediate left she would again see the movement of shadows on the wall. With an enemy so close it would be foolish not to take a detour to engage them.
Like before Susan pressed herself up against the corner of the wall before sweeping out with her P90 drawn, prepared for another fight.

Rui took Susan's hand even as everything in his mind told him not so. He quietly nodded to his squad leader before rapidly putting as much distance as he could between the two, something that was easy since she took off in a blur.
