The bell to the Koneko tinkled, the visitor not bothering to wait at the entryway for assistance. Yutaro Sato locked the door behind him speedily and headed directly to the back of the shop. He descended into the mission room without pause, guessing - correctly - that would be where to find Weiss with a Kritiker liaison present.
Gone was the former cheerful smile, the man had a gaunt look and stress lines at his eyes and forehead. A weak upturn of the lips greeted Abyssinian and Manx. He forcibly grew it into a bright smile. He hadn't met Weiss' former contact in person, and she was younger than he'd supposed. The other redheaded Weiss looked deeply unhappy, but it could be he was reading into things. They hadn't exactly started out on the right foot.
He nodded to the two present, and remained by the stairs. Manx was Kritiker after all, and he did not have a deep knowledge of his coworker. "Balinese called me here. It is good to finally meet you." He nodded at the redheaded woman.

His sister?
It was too soon...
He tried to make eye contact with Manx, but said to Sato, "Omi will explain. We're following your..." Something balked at describing Sato's directions as commands, but they couldn't afford not to treat Sato as their Kritiker contact until they knew what was really going on with Kritiker. If there was just a cell of rogue agents who had found their way to the top, Sato would still be their superior, even in the event of the rogue agents in the organization trying to kill him. "...following your mission directions."
Ran turned up the stairs. "Excuse me. I'll be back."
He didn't wait for anyone's permission.
