A devious smile formed across Merle's face as Gabriel sprinted off, leaving her sight in moments. "Coronis,<span style="font-style: italic">go,</span>" she whispered. The second the words crossed her lips, the crow perched on her arm took off at a blinding pace, chasing Gabriel down. Its intention was not to catch him, but to follow him; Coronis was Merle's demon made manifest, and they were able to see through each others eyes whenever they wished. Even Merle wasn't sure how the demon was able to maintain a fully physical form while still being linked to her, but she had been told when they were bound to each other that Coronis would begin to inhabit her mind, if only temporarily, should her crow form perish.<br/><br/>With Coronis granting her sight, Merle was free to follow at whatever pace she felt was comfortable. Still, she chose to move fast in the interest of not making Gabriel wait any longer than necessary. She wasn't nearly as fast as he was, but she wasn't particularly slow either, and maintained a halfway decent distance from him the entire time. It wouldn't take her long to catch up when (and if) he decided to stop.
