[ he doesn't have the excuse of expediency -- and to be honest, not including the rest of the DF was kind of... a reflex move. he doesn't have a lot of experience at this point with not working outside the 'law'. and it feels painfully slow to wait and call Suzaku and... but just slow isn't good enough reason, not when he's already made Anri wait to get her sword back, not when there isn't anyone in any immediate danger. he may deliberately get the defense force's name wrong half the time, but that doesn't mean he actually has any problem with the way it's run so far.
it still feels... weird, though, and there's a funny tension in his shoulder as he takes another spoonful of soup ]
