It would have made more sense if Chise had stopped by to say she'd found some other occupation, or at least to say that she didn't want to work at Tinctura any longer. But to show up assuming that her job was still available, as if nothing had happened... That was a certain kind of nerve, to be sure. Or a kind of recklessness, perhaps.
The silence that sits between them feels deafening. Blue pins the girl with her gaze for a few seconds, then glances contemplatively around the shop. ... Uncomfortable as she is with Chise at the moment, it doesn't actually require a lot of her trust to simply work together. Tinctura is less of a real investment and more a way to pass the time, after all.
And keeping Chise here allows her closer supervision of the girl. She has to understand that, too.
"...If you like." She gestures to the far wall, tone still carefully neutral. "Put your things in the back. Then check that our counts are correct for that cabinet." Everything should still be in order as it was before the world broke, but it doesn't hurt to make sure of that.
