Anju

I see red
My blood is boiling and it shows

Anju returns Koa's greeting with a tiny smile and an incline of her brow, waiting to see who else would join them. She is admittedly pleased to see Octavius once more, Anju returns his shallow bow with the customary dip of her chin in return, expression placid. Nobody need know of that day in the Temple beyond them two, but she is glad to see him present and dedicated to extracurricular causes in the same way as Koa. Though, interesting enough, there seems to be tension between the similarly-aged soldiers. Rising a slight brow, Anju makes no comment and instead focuses on Koa's speech. She can spot a rehearsal easily, but it means he had picked the words with intention. The sentiment is one she empathizes with which is frankly enough for her.

"You have made admirable headway, Koa." Off-duty as she is, she refrains from utilizing his surname as was conventional. "I will assist Nua," she claims easily, content to supply her experience with the original Nest and barracks to the woman. Departing without further word, Anju tracks her down easily enough; Nua is a familiar face as a contractor given the militaristic nature of Stormbreak, so they have worked together in the past. "May I see your blueprints? There is a flow issue in the Dragoon barracks that we did not notice until we lived it that I would like to avoid." The woman happily retrieves them, and the two of them bow over the table to examine the plans, Anju's fingers splaying over the paper and making quiet commentary and suggestions.

Anju works with Nua!

You shoot them all down until you end up alone
