[She nearly scoffs. How foolish. She's been wrangling her rambunctious daughter for years. Ryoshu is well aware of what it looks like when a child is attempting to throw your notice off.
Hoshino Aqua wasn't a bad actor— in fact, this act of his might have fooled anyone else, if they were a regular guard. But Ryoshu took pride in her job and in excelling at it, even if she'd have preferred something bloodier.
Besides, she hasn't been hired for long, but she knows enough that this isn't how he acts.
Ryoshu raises her eyebrow at the last sentence— that really was the kicker. If Hoshino Aqua meant to simply step outside for a walk, why would he ask she not tell his sister, or better yet, his adoptive mother?]

[And she just keeps following him.]
