Snippet #1655009

Azrael lazed against the wall, listening silently to Zeph's explaination and Aden's questions. She let out a quiet breath and slid a knife from her left boot, twirling it casually between her fingers. Her silver gaze rested on Aden and narrowed slightly as a few thoughts drifted through her mind. Of course, she knew the Advent wouldn't understand everything that was going on, and of course they'd be confused. But Rael's patience was wearing thin, which rarely happened. They didn't have time for this. She pushed away from the wall gracefully and took a few steps towards Aden and Zeph, raking her fingers through her silvery hair.

"To put it simply, Zeph and I are your lifelines. With us, you live. Without us, you might as well be dead. You can just assume anyone else you see out there in the future, wants you dead unless we say otherwise." She paused for a moment and shrugged, "We don't have all the time in the world to explain right this second. There's a time and place for everything, and this isn't it." She flicked a brief glance at Zeph, then nodded towards the window where the rain was slowly hitting the glass; a sign that the storm was coming to an end. She realized maybe she could have been a little nicer, after all they didn't do anything wrong. But Rael wasn't there to sugar coat things and baby them, she was there to save their asses if they did something stupid, which was highly likely. Besides, charm was never her forte.

"Everyone should pick a weapon or two. Only take what you can carry." She gestured to the walls that adorned a variety of weapons, then walked towards Ryu, who was still resting in the window seat. She nudged his leg with her boot to wake him up, then flicked a brief glance at Zeph, meeting his blue eyes with her silver ones. It was time to move out, and they needed to do it quickly if they wanted to avoid a bump in with an obnoxious Lamentation. She was just glad to get out of the cramped hideout and into the forest again. Just sitting around would bore her to death. She turned and started walking towards the door, then paused and glanced over her shoulder at Aden before she opened it.

"By the way, none of us are human." She said in response to her last question, then pulled the door open and disappeared through it, closing it behind her without a sound. She stepped out into the forest and stepped away from the tree, her eyes sliding over the area around them as light rain drops hit her creamy vanilla cheeks. It wouldn't be long before the Lamentations caught wind of what was going on.
