[ Units aren't always a strictly official thing and not necessarily something that always calls for meetings and paperwork... but Ai's well aware of the position she occupies in the DU and the resulting scrutiny any Unit associated with her would come under, official or not. It seems safest to do this all as by-the-book as possible, then, even if it's a bit more stiff and formal than she necessarily would've liked it to be. To offset that, she's asked the girls to meet her in the DU lounge rather than her office (it's a little less scary, right?) and when they arrive, she's already serving hot cocoa from the coffee machine alongside the pile of snacks and cookies she's got waiting for them at the table.

Once she spots them, Ai's face lights up. ] Good morning...! Sorry to ask you to come so early in the day — I didn't have any other times I could guarantee we'd be able to chat for as long as we needed. Come sit down! You can dig into the snacks, too — I got way too many from sponsors this month to even try and eat by myself!
