[...talking with you is always such a joy, Rideaux...

Nevertheless, Emmy will take a seat at her desk so she can chat to you properly; we're friends, after all! Friends pay attention to friends when they're talking!]

I only intend to do some roundhouse kicking if the grunts don't behave, Rideaux~! I've been assigned as a trainer for the newbies. Suits me, don't you think?

[...she's not going to give you time to provide your thoughts, however, because god only knows what you'd say-]

I suppose I ought to congratulate you; I'm not surprised to see that you also climbed the ranks.

[That could easily be a very backhanded compliment, but she's sure you'll find the positives...]
