Ringo listened closely to Ciel's briefing in response to disclosing part of her ability to fight. A creature that behaves like a program than an animal? Interesting. No matter how it will turn out, it'll be definitely be more tame than, say, the entire universe being ripped at the seams. With some thoughtful consideration, Ringo smiled back.

"I will. If this will further your research, then I want to be part of it."

Ringo's response seemed to mean a lot to Ciel, judging by her elated expression.

In that case, we can head out shortly. If you have anything you need to pack and bring with you, now would be a good time. ...I'm looking forward to working with you, Ringo.

She was certain he'd be happy to hear that, especially after all the eldritch horrors they'd endured in the past few missions. Maybe he had a point about the haunted house bits. They'd already run into two absolutely terrifying anomalous locations and they'd only just arrived on Li. Ciel would have to hope they had a bit more of a routine run on this mission.
