[Mikumo gives a faint sound of amusement at that, and it's probably a good thing she has to focus on their perimeter, otherwise she'd be doing one of her faux-questioning looks.]

"Subdued" isn't how I'd describe most of my performances. I'm just keeping myself ready to perform, so I'm practicing the same songs I would be back home with my team.

[There's maybe one or two songs in their catalog that are a bit more pared-back and quiet, but considering most of them are performed in combat, "bombastic" tends to be the word of the hour.]

For the record, I'm not particularly concerned about having people watch me practice. [People who don't like being watched during practice, in her opinion, are the ones concerned about making mistakes. Which she never is, when it comes to performance.]
