</div>Passing through the gates of Abendblume alongside Raimundo washed Alvaro in a feeling of independence he hadn't expected. They had talked about plans, but with the gates closed and locked behind them, every step was a real toward their very real goal. Armando and Rebel were none the wiser, but they'd barely put a mile behind them before expected questions were voiced.<br/><br/>He paused beside Raimuno as he answered Armondo's question. Interesting, he hadn't really thought about the notion of someone thinking they would go to Dryden to seek out and eliminate survivors. Armando must have really thought that Ray Jr. was a murderous villain. The thought pricked the assassin's irritation, but he brushed it aside without letting it cloud his curious expression.<br/><br/>In every other case, he would have remained silent and let the man in charge explain his intentions, but in this particular case he felt that could be detrimental; not because of any harm Raimundo would cause, but because the well-founded belief that Alvaro himself was a loyal man of orders. If Raimundo explained, Alvaro would agree, and no one would be faulted for thinking he would agree simply because it was his place to do so. If Alvaro spoke before Raimundo spoke, they'd know he was of his own mind to be there instead of as a hitman with a big order.<br/><br/>His gaze flowed from Armando to Rebel and rested there for a moment as he began to speak. "The only exiles we are going to kill are the ones who are already dead," his eyes moved back to Armando. They had all been in that meeting and even if they didn't speak it, they all knew the writing on the wall for Abendblume without a food supply from Dryden. Something would have to give, either more people from Abendblume would have to be purged, or Abendblume would have to take on Dryden with force. He knew which one was more likely after having sat with Hale discussing another purge. "Ray Jr will talk to Dryden so no one starves or gets put outside the gates again. I am with him because I believe his idea is much better than another I have heard."<br/><br/>He let that hang in the air for what it was. Dots could be connected, or the others could choose not to see the truth as he had and keep thinking with narrow minds focussed on some murderous monster that didn't exist.
