Briefly, before they set off, Adela was genuinely surprised when Ami told her to use her first name. It was weird, but it actually made her kind of happy to be given permission like that. She'd definitely have to keep it in mind, even if it was just for the mission they happened to be on. She'd do whatever she could to earn the respect she was being given with that permission, then.
But then wasn't the time to think about it. They had a mission to do, and she was already getting silent communication from their squad leader. Hm... So Shisui was suspicious already? Adela noted the look she was getting, and chances were she'd have to be the one to do the sneaking around while the others kept their clients distracted. It was one thing to be paid to help them transport their goods, but if it was contraband... That'd put them in a precarious position. They were ninja, so transporting illegal goods was probably just part of the gig, but that wasn't what they signed up for with this mission. They signed up to help these merchants ship tea.
They needed to know.
Still Adela remained silent, glancing to Ammi to try and communicate to her to keep her guard up. Maybe she was paranoid and misreading Shisui, but paranoia was more likely to save her life than hubris.
