"Right...!"

Monika stood up and prepared herself. She had never met Musashi, but she'd heard of her many times by now... Definitely someone to look out for, she seemed pretty important.

And she could guess the reason why there were colors in her cheeks... Honestly she respected people who could do those kind of jobs. Most people looked down on jobs more sexual in nature, but that was mostly ignorance and arrogance speaking. It took a great deal of confidence to do that kind of thing. She could never, even if she had been comfortable with those things.

"Well, let's pretend I'm dressed properly for the occasion, ahaha!"

She closed her eyes for a moment. What she needed was to slip into a role, basically. No different from before. So long as nothing unexpected happen, the mask wouldn't slip. And if something unexpected did happen... Well, she'd deal with that in time. When she opened her eyes anew, Monika smiled gently. Far more confident of a smile than what she had shown so far. With the facade under control, she placed a hand on her own chest and bowed politely.

"Welcome. Make yourself at ease, please."

Maybe there were more proper lines she should be saying, a proper way to hold herself... But she figured she should also add her own personal touch. Else she would be no different from a robot programmed to do certain things. She placed the tea set just as Tenshi had shown her, very carefully so. She was maybe just a bit stiff and overly cautious, betraying the anxiety hiding beneath the mask.
