[As long it's not disgusting or overly sweet, Norimune can drink almost anything. As he take his first sip, just to taste how the tea is, he listens to Azula's words.

Those are words, alright. It takes a lot to not chuckle, really. Because she's clearly trying her best. Her best at what? Appealing to a senior, quite obviously. But he can't fault her for that, she would get points for being proactive really.

Whether or not she can do the jobs, training and practical experience can easily fix that. Or show them where it's better to apply her skills. And knowing she's going to listen carefully, he's considering his words.]

I understand what you mean, Miss Azula.

[It's almost like he's back in the governmental headquarters, talking with newly manifested swords.]

Other than doing your tasks, being proactive is your best method. I bet others will notice your efforts if they see you working hard and producing results.

[Since she's reaching out to him like this, she's likely smart enough to figure out what to do. Unless she need a direction to focus on?

What really matters is being noticed and recognised. Which can lead to a possible promotion, if that's her goal.]

But I wouldn't mind having your aid, if I happen to need it. I just don't have any work for you at the moment.

[He literally got off his shift. And have no particular plans to start looking into things today.]
