( that works. the relief of added success — and success that apparently came much easier for Rei than it did Izumi (unfair, and yet somehow that tracks) — does enough to gloss over the concern she probably should have about that money, but it definitely isn't hers (given that most of that goes towards theatre, rent and curry spices).
besides, any worry to be had is quickly replaced by the more immediate concern of the manager approaching. ugh, she should have known better than to do a quest that was going to rely so heavily on her acting.
so it's a good thing she's just flustered and embarrassed enough that she continues to pass for a first timer who doesn't really know what she's doing. )
Oh, h-hello! ( smile, Izumi. just because you're kidnapping kidnapped employees doesn't mean you shouldn't be polite about it. ) You must be the, um, manager, right?
( oh boy, this fae looks like they could step on both of them and wipe the goop off their shoe without so much as blinking. that's great. )
