"Don't forget that if you dispel my Armor without actually reversing the effect properly, I might end up naked," Signum supplies helpfully, mostly just to see Aibghalien's reaction. "That kind of spell actually does replace our clothes, not just cover them."

Unable to fault his logic, and feeling all the better for being surrounded by masochistically supportive people, Signum relents her bad mood somewhat. "As a warrior, and your junior in the Department, I can't argue with that," she replies. "When the TSAB caught us the first time, they just pressed us into their service and were done with it. Nanoha will almost assuredly decide the same thing for me this time, if no one else is angry enough to demand something harsher."

She sighs, slight smile fading back to her normal neutral expression. "I just want to do more to apologize to the victims, really."
