[Even though Hakkai had presented working with him as a choice, it hadn't really sunk in that he seriously meant she had a choice. All the time she's been here, she's been waiting for her god to find her and take her wherever it was that she's supposed to go. To her place in this strange new world.
Go where she's assigned, do what she's told, speak only when asked to. For some reason, Ayumu feels like that that's the natural order of things. And to have someone seriously suggest that isn't the way things are supposed to work, well, it's a little distressing. And confusing. She'd gone straight to work without a second thought, just assuming it's what she's supposed to do.
For a moment, her anxiety is clearly visible. Ayumu hasn't been the most stable of individuals today but she tries to suppress it quickly, keep her panic from showing. Danger doesn't scare her. All this talk about covert operations and squads is comfortable; it's been one of the few times today she's felt confident and at ease in this situation.
So she shakes her head.]
I can handle this sort of work. Danger doesn't scare me.
[On the other hand, being flung out into the wild without knowing who anyone is, who she is, or what this place is really like - that terrifies her.]
