However, she feels more stressed not only because they’re in such a peril position which can overturn at any time, Yuu’s demon curse seem to jump back and forth between getting better or getting worse. Shinoa wants to berate herself for letting one of her family member to be lead into this, that as their leader, she should have thought another way instead telling to get on the bus, But she always come back to the same conclusion, it was inevitable. They needed information, and a cure for Yuu. So going to their (former) enemy and have coming to a temporary truce is probably their best route they can go.

But Shinoa always try to keep a lively attitude, it’s the only way she can cope and the only way she knew how to cope after all these years being ignored by her blood-related family, betrayed by her sister whom she adored so much as well as now by her respected commander, Guren. To be honest, Shinoa probably would have crack if any of her teammates betray her at this point. They were her only family she can still call to today despite barely knowing each other less than a year. For her family, she will do anything. So if she has to grin and make stupid jokes just to make them happy and smile each day, she will gladly do it without hesitation.

If Shinoa has to lower her pride and beg those vampires for more information to keep her family safe, she will also do it without batting an eye. The others resisted in making friends with the nobles, for good reasons too. But Shinoa knows they’re still in the dark. Too many secrets. Too many unknown factors. All still kept from them. As leader, despite not working for the army anymore, Shinoa still dubs herself to be the representative of their group and have to try to pry that information even looking weak as a result. She can’t have Mika and Yuu to always do those risk-taking negotiations, she wants to look cool sometimes too!

That’s why, ever since their first day of their temporary pact, Shinoa had to figure out who to make ‘friends’ with. Ferid is definitely approachable, but the problem is that the man is far too intelligent and will make her dance around in circles. The other noble though, Crowley Eusford. She thinks she has a far better chance with. Plus he makes her less uneasy than the slim vampire, despite having sucked her blood the first time in a far less undesirable situation.

She just had to be careful about those other female vampires that tend to stick around with him most of the time. Despite being a ‘special guest’, Shinoa knows all too well a female jealously that can fester up if an unknown female that is not part of their group shows up and tries to talk to their idol? Lover? Master? Whichever Crowley is to them. So, she always make note of his schedule, keeping tabs when he’s completely alone and is approachable without being glared to death.
