It probably hasn't gotten around to Emet-Selch himself, but Misa has had quite a few harsh words for him ever since that dinner. Multiple times, she's expressed her wariness to get close to him solely due to him falling out of favor with the Regent— if she's anything, she's a follower. Someone aware of her own status, and more importantly, very determined to keep it. Even if it means being a little catty.

It's actually only right after his speech that she realizes it's been removed, and— wow, so that means she should actually pay attention to him now, right? Mean as it is, she feels so strongly about the Regent that it simply hadn't crossed her mind to question their actions towards him. But now all those skills he mentioned seem that much more of use.

That's why she gracefully makes her way over once he's retreated back into the mass of them all, waiting until someone's well into their speech to actually address him. Once close enough by his side, she nudges him gently with an elbow to catch his attention, in case he's engrossed in listening.

"Hey, you got that thing off your arm! Must be a big relief, huh? Now you can be together with everybody more."

It's said breezily, casually. She sort of has to crane her neck to look up at him, but she keeps her expression curious instead of judgmental.
