The girl who presented herself in front Mari seemed to be dignified enough to her; that clean-cut traditional atmosphere that she seemed to emanate seemed to scream 'yamato nadeshiko' to her. It was... Admittedly rare for this day and age, and so Mari took a moment to figure out the best way to respond in turn. Glancing at the monitors above her head for a moment to confirm Kagura's statement (which just so happened to be correct, thankfully enough), Mari cleared her throat and bowed in turn.

"Akeya Kagura? It's a pleasure to meet you." Mari responded in turn before standing upright again, tossing a few glances around the room to note how most of the crowd had dissipated by this point in time. "I'm in your care."

With this statement, Mari took a moment to note all the little things here and there that might give away any semblance of a facade from her. Was there anything to show that it was an act? Tone of speech? Subtle movements? Hopefully, she was simply overthinking things, but... It never hurt to be sure.
