Kinzo had said these words to him before the briefing had begun. Both he and Miyu didn't seem to respond well at all towards Jinzo's decision to keep his abilities a secret. He allowed his mind to dwell on them further now that the briefing was over and they had made their way to the VTOLs that would be used to fly them to the New Continent. As far as briefings went, this one was surprisingly short and to the point. Especially given the gargantuan coordination effort from all five nations. Jinzo was mildly impressed at how smoothly things had gone, though he didn't allow it to give him a false sense of security for the coming mission. Squad Three seemed to be allocated the task of tracking down this Nori Kinsei alongside two other squads. Jinzo allowed himself a wry smile to form beneath his mask. Despite not being much of a competitive spirit, he couldn't help but feel confident that they'd be the ones to track him down. After all, his squad had not one, but two of the Empire's Tiger Agents assigned to it. If anyone was going to find this man, Jinzo was sure Squad Three could pull it off. But he needed to rectify the earlier situation first.

[color=black][b]"My apologies, Miss Tachibana."[/b][/color] He spoke finally, raising his voice in order to be heard above the whine of the aircraft. [color=black][b]"I sensed your earlier disappointment towards my uncooperativeness. I never meant to offend you. It was merely force of habit, given my usual line of work for the Empire."[/b][/color] Jinzo regarded the girl as she seemed intent on checking through the supplies they'd been allocated for the expedition. The walk from the Great Hall had been awkwardly silent, at least on his part. [color=black][b]"If it would please you, however, I would be happy to display my abilities to you once we reach our destination."[/b][/color] Bowing his head as a show of respect, Jinzo chose a seat facing toward the back of the craft and began to strap himself in and prepare for takeoff.
