{{I'll edit this post if you want me to Boundary, just let me know.}}<br/><br/>Merle stood with her hands behind her head, casually listening as Gabriel chastised her. A quick shrug preceded her response; "Okie dokie then, Mr. Grumpy, whatever you say! Gosh, you're so mean and scary all the time," she teased, scurrying after him so he didn't get too far ahead.<br/><br/>In the interest of not pissing him off any further, Merle chose to stay silent for the rest of the walk. It wasn't much further anyway, and when they arrived, she quickly took her spot in the corner of the room as Gabriel delivered his report. As he described the events he had witnessed - the blood demon, the failed attempt at locating another hideout, and the battle he took part in - she found a wicked smile curling across her lips.<span style="font-style: italic">Sounds like things are finally getting interesting.</span><br/><br/>The 3 oldest, frequently referred to as the Elder Silencers, whispered amongst themselves for a few moments. Their decision was to remove everyone else from the room so they could freely discuss their options, a choice which surprised most everybody, as they didn't often choose not to share their plans with the other 16 living members. Merle briefly considered sneaking Coronis into the room so she could watch their discussion, but the lack of audio made the effort not entirely worthwhile, and she instead decided to simply retire for the afternoon. Perhaps she would stir up some trouble in the coming days; Gabriel seemed to have fun doing it, why not her?<br/><br/>-------------------------------------<br/><br/>Compared to recent events, the hideout was positively<span style="font-style: italic">boring.</span>After a few minutes where not a lot of anything important happened, another sigh escaped Ayl's lips, and he stood up. "I'm going for a walk," he announced, scooping up his clothes from the table in front of him. "See you all bright and early in the morning for training," he reminded them as he stepped out the door, not bothering to look back to see their reactions as he made his way outside. Once outside, he took the time to put his shirt back on, shortly after jumping through the shadows for destinations unknown.
