It was a smart, and necessary move, he thought, to have filled in the gaps where other patrols had been lacking. Not only would it aid in keeping the streets as safe as possible, but it had probably lifted a heavy burden off the backs of other agencies. It was always better to work in unison, rather than stretching oneself thin. Listening with intent as Miyuki answered his questions, Nico continued to nod along.<br/><br/>It was mentioned once more the overlap, then Shadow Angel began to speak on the troublesome areas he had asked about. Like everything the pro-hero had explained thus far, it made perfect sense. Criminals had developed a habit of going to these places, a repertoire; these areas were their territory, despite even the current hero patrols. Without an overlap--or something as impossible as constant surveillance--there would always be a chance for them to strike. A window of opportunity, in which they could commit their atrocities and scurry back into the shadows. It was a maddening reality, but one that they worked against every day. The agencies did their best, as Shadow Angel explained, by trying new ways to switch up patrols to catch the criminals red-handed. It was the best they could do, after all; they couldn't exactly have eyes inside every alleyway in Japan.<br/><br/>"<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #FF4040">I see,</span></span>" he muttered absently, contemplative as he turned his head to glance across the street. As their superior's explanation came to a close, they were given a promise tied to the end to be shown these problem spots. "<span style="color: #FF4040"><span style="font-weight: bold">Ah, great,</span></span>" he smiled, nonchalant as he reached his arms up in a stretch. It would be beneficial to see the areas in person, especially with their guide present to answer any questions they might have.<br/><br/>The next questions to arise were spoken by Aika, who at this point Nico had at least gotten used to being around. When she spoke, he listened with little resistance, rather being focused curiously on the answers to come. Back and forth went the dialogue between the two girls, and Nico listened to every question and answer as if taking mental notes. He usually wasn't so attentive, but today, he was<span style="font-style: italic">focused</span>. It was important for him to know what they would be up against, and to know just how their patrols were to be organized.<br/><br/>Shadow Angel's response to Aika's first question piqued his interest, as apparently they would be assigned their own area to cover in case of an emergency. In the said area, they were to be first responders, ready to leap into action and take control; or even to assist other sidekicks who needed it. This organized effort left quite an impression on Nico, as his eyebrows lifted ever-so-slightly in effect. As hotheaded and impulsive as he was, he was actually ecstatic at the idea of having his own area to protect. It offered a sense of responsibility, of duty, as well as showcasing just how much trust this agency offered to its sidekicks. As Aika had commented before him, the Angel Agency was a lot more efficient than some other agencies he'd worked at, and it was a welcomed change.<br/><br/>The next problem to be voiced was a question of what would happen if they were to be presented with a large-scale disaster or attack. This was yet another essential question that they had to be aware of, and one that had a rather simplistic answer. Communicators, as Shadow Angel explained, were the solution. A basic tool that made their work that much more organized. They'd be provided their own communicators, and through the devices, they'd be able to use their best judgment as well as receive orders. Of course, they were then warned that<span style="font-style: italic">best judgment </span>did not, in fact, mean that they could act on their own. The importance of this warning was stressed by an unsettling, hazardous, grin from their superior. Along with Aika, Nico's response was an awkward, nervous laugh; as if he didn't know how to respond to the sudden change in character. As Miyuki's eyes switched to meet his, he gave off another delicate chuckle, in quick response giving an awkward<span style="font-style: italic">thumb's up.</span>"<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #FF4040">Haha.. alright, gotcha...</span></span>"
