Ayl turned his head and watched the girl as she left, not sure whether to be glad or not that she was departing. Something about her struck him as off, which made the conversation somewhat.. tense, but if she was a potential enemy, it would be best to spend time near her to figure out her modus operandi; being clueless about your foes was as deadly as it was stupid when demons were involved.<br/><br/>He stared at the door she exited from for a time, absorbed in his own thoughts. There were more Hunters than ever lately, and consequently, there were fewer demons.. But was this truly cause-and-effect? He had taken down a few Silencers already; they were tough battles, even for him. Their powers were greater than most Hunters, likely due to their alliance with the entirety of the demonic forces, whereas the demons taking the side of humans were the minority. They weren't trained like he was, though. The ones he had faced were incredibly powerful, but had limited control over their abilities.. He shuddered to think what would happen if they fixed that problem, and his mind couldn't help feeling like the lack of demonic activity was because of that reason exactly.<br/><br/>He let out a sigh as he pushed his chair back, standing up and stretching. He stepped over to the table where Sam was sitting and placed a hand gently on its surface to get her attention. "I'm heading out. There's too much silence in this city, and I intend to find out why," he stated, looking back and forth between those seated as he did so. He waited a few moments before turning around and walking toward the door. He didn't necessarily expect any of them to follow, but he wasn't going to stop them if they wanted to. Truth be told, he wasn't entirely sure what he planned on doing - likely no more than reconnaissance - but if things got out of hand and it resulted in battle, having a few extra Hunters along couldn't hurt, even if they were fledgelings. If it came down to it, he would keep them safe.
