Aw shit.

Okay, okay, nothing to do now other than-- stumble into the goddamn open like a dumbass. It's fine, it's fine! Anna brushes herself off and collects herself, and maybe she looks a little deer-in-the-headlights but it's the middle of the night and she is running on coffee and spite and look. Okay. Maybe if she sounded confident that would just make her less trustworthy? Because then it would absolutely sound like she had a Hidden Agenda or some shit. Yeah, that.

She definitely tripped on purpose.

"Uhhhh," Anna says. Eloquent as fucking always. "Hi? Look, listen, sorry about that. It's just. I think I can help you out."

She holds her hands up, to show she's unarmed, doesn't intend to hurt. Aims for a pleasant smile.

"Don't get me wrong, Mizuho isn't exactly a bad idea-- they are mostly neutral, as far as the war goes, but. 'Mostly' is the operative word, there. And seeing as you're the goddamn Aegis..."
