It was a good solid few hours of constant work and training, Ayl shouting out orders periodically and testing the rookies to their limits. It was around lunch time that he called things off. "Alright, break time. That's enough for now. Anybody who needs it, come over to Adeline here and get yourselves patched up. The rest of you get something to eat; demonic possession or not, keeping your energy up is still important," he instructed, noticing the tired, worn out expressions the majority of them had. Heck, he was pretty surprised the majority of them made it as long as they did. They were still beginners, but they showed surprising resilience.<br/><br/>Ayl himself decided to leave the group be and go on a little patrol through the shadows while they ate and recuperated. That Silencer from yesterday was a little too close to the hideout for comfort; he didn't know what kind of knowledge that man called Gabriel had, and losing this hidden position within the city would be a major blow to them. To that end he was determined to keep that from happening as long as he could, though it would be a tricky process given that most of his time in the near future would be spent training the rookies. They needed to be prepared for the inevitable war, after all, and he had no way of knowing how far away that was.<br/><br/>Eventually he ended up on a street familiar to him. Having seen no signs of anything going on yet, aside from the occasional cluster of lower demons that were quickly and silently dispatched, he decided to take the time to pay a visit. He walked down the street until spotting the familiar boarded up window and broken fire escape.<br/>"Hey you up there, I'm coming in," he shouted once he was standing at the foot of the fire escape, so that he didn't startle her too much - assuming she was even in. Being an indoor area, there would be plenty of shadows for him, so rather than going through the building like a normal person, he waited a minute to give her a chance to get ready and simply jumped through the shadows. He appeared in Sam's room, leaning against the wall casually. She was there, of course, just as he had hoped.<br/>"Missed you at training today. Had a hot date?" he teased, grinning at her. "Oh, and sorry I didn't come back last night. Had a lot on my mind."
