Ayl nodded his head slightly when she asked him to deliver a message, his arms staying crossed as he listened to her explanation. "Yeah, I can let him know. I'll tell him to check for you in the outskirts south-southwest of town, sound good? He should be able to find you pretty easily by flying, assuming he's got that down now." He smirked as she tried to reassure him she would be alright, taking an arm and ruffling her hair with it. "I know you will, kiddo. Just keep your eyes out. Lots of Silencers prancing around, not to mention that Levin character. Things sure are getting interesting lately," he sighed, shaking his head.<br/><br/>"Try to at least be back at the hideout before tomorrow, alright? There's going to be some stuff going down and I'd prefer to be able to keep an eye on you, and everyone else for that matter." As he spoke, he turned around and started walking away, raising a hand in farewell. "I'll pass the message to Atma as soon as I can. Catch ya later," he finished, giving her a second to respond before jumping through the shadows, back in the direction of the hideout. Atma was nowhere to be seen, and most of the rookies were already back inside, so he decided to head down as well and get a bite to eat while waiting.<br/><br/>---------------------------------<br/><br/>Merle's face quickly took on that of a pout as Gabriel told her to hang back. "Ugghhh. But that's so<span style="font-style: italic">laaaaame!</span>" She couldn't deny the practicality of the plan, though, so instead of butting in, she decided to simply stay prepared to intervene if the need arose. Her eyes shot to Coronis for an instant, and seeing that the bird was intently focused on Levin, a smile crossed her lips. She swiftly jumped out of the way of the falling buildings and walked a few paces away, to give Gabriel the room he needed. She spun her daggers around so that they were backhanded and stood patiently, watching the event unfold.
