My career is still growing, but I am still quite popular~
[ Nowhere near her level of fame at home, but it's slowly accumulating momentum. ]
I was mostly joking, but actually, suspicious looking people are good for bodyguards, because then people know not to mess with them. My manager used to be this police officer, so I already know these things.
[ Not that police were suspicious looking, but if someone with an intimidating aura was around her, then people were less likely to try weird things. ]
[ Hey now, don't call her suspicious! She's a perfectly innocent person, thanks very much. Her nonexistent feelings are very hurt, and she pouts in a show of false displeasure. ]
Hey, who are you calling suspicious? [ Rude tbh, even if it's true half the time. ] I'm always honest with what I say and do.
[ It's just that sometimes she barely says anything and leaves a wide margin for misinterpretation. But that's hardly her fault. Leaning over, she also snags a glass of wine and downs it in one go. ]
Anyway, I'm not really cut out to be a bodyguard, but if you ever need a hand, I'll see what I can do.
[ Look, she can forgive easily if given reason. And it isn't like she's going to turn down more people who would be willing to safeguard her from Wyver's admittedly quite rowdy crowds. She just smiles behind her fizzy drink, entertained by the other's expressions. ]
Oh, you said something about being a Captain earlier! Let me guess, are you a sailor?
[ Maybe that would explain why she was able to down that whole glass. ]
[ Later, as she's stumbling her way out of the gala, she'll regret having had that glass all in one sitting. (Not hard for it to circulate quickly, given her short stature.) For now, she's energetic and lively, mind completely clear. ]
Nope. Never been on an ocean in my life.
[ Cute though, that Misa thinks she might have been able to pull off the duties of a sailor. ]
I was part of the Court Guards. A defensive squad, if you will.
[ She says it like she might comment about the weather, factual and brief and certainly not important. ]
[ Guarders of a court... that makes sense. It's fun playing this little guessing game as long as it isn't about her. ]
Ohh, like defending a King? That kinda makes you like a Knight! The person you were defending was probably super important~
[ Is it clear that she likes to gossip?? Well, she does, and she wants to learn as much as she can about this person through casual conversation, as she tended to with everyone she saw with a strange lifespan. It's always good to be careful. ]
And you probably have all sorts of cool powers. Most people here have them if they did jobs like that!
[ Cool powers doesn't even begin to cover the gamut of shinigami powers, but it seems excessive (and boastful) to list them off one by one to a complete stranger. Even so, she's never been the humble modest type either, and it's only natural for her to rock back on her heels and smile almost smugly.
That glass of wine (or whatever it is) sure isn't helping. ]
They're useful under the right circumstances. [ Ranging from actually fighting to actions as simple as stealing a ribbon out of someone's hair. ] But, like everything, they take practice to learn and maintain.
[ That may or may not be a subtle dig for Misa to get out there and get working out. ]
