Lali is cold. Saemus is self-centered, or at least independently goal oriented. You wanted to think Sigrun was just married to the job and wanted nothing more than a paycheck, but she seems especially aggressive to you about it.
Nonoka has always been welcoming, when she had time. Her background shares a similar skeleton to yours, from country girl to joining the force in a city, and has gone through the struggle of this... culture shock, is the most politically correct way to put it. Possibly twice, since she traveled from Nippon to here.
First thing's first, you stop by the infirmary to get the cut checked out, and then head back at your place to get into some dry clothes and grab an umbrella if need be. you first ask after her at the clerk controlling entry into the Operation Room, where high-level agents act as mission control operators and micromanage missions of the boots on the ground. It is, respectably, a controlled environment, but the clerk is able to tell you that Sumika isn't here.
Heading down to the lobby to see if she was at her own residence, you manage to catch Sumika arrive. The immensely tall and long haired woman has to crouch through the glass panel doorways, shaking drops off her rain-drenched wide-brimmed hat. It has a striking resemblance to the Undercroft pneumatic suit armor's headpiece, and it is broader than your umbrella. Very not Finnish, however.
"Fiona," she greets with a polite foreign half-bow from her haunched stance as she walks to pass you by.
"M-miss Sumika!" You start in a panic in a desperate bid to keep her attention. "I would like a word, if I can."
The tall woman stops, and cranes her neck over her shoulder. Sumika's expression, what little you can make of her pale face past the long locks of straight black hair, has a measure of concern. "Is it important? I have a shift that begins in a few minutes."
You swallow your anxiety and just spit it out. "Yes. I-I need to talk."
After a moment to consider, a gentle smile comes to her face, with a nod.
