Madoka was staring at him, watching his every move with the intensity of a cheetah that had just spotted dinner. He looked up, meeting her gaze for what must have been a fraction of a second before looking back down. Madoka's breath caught in her throat, her heart skipping an extra beat. She stepped away from the banister, the choker around her neck glowing. No, no, no! Madoka had to calm down, otherwise she would unintentionally activate her Sonic Scream and knock out everyone's hearing.
Madoka clapped her hands over her mouth and took in three deep, slow breaths. The glow in her white choker receded and Madoka sunk to the floor, the arrows in her bag clattering against each other as her bag nestled into the girl's side, the sound of her weapons hardly audible above the chatter coming from below. What should she do? Madoka knew she had to wait until the meeting was over, that much was obvious, but was there some sort of rule about interaction after one of these sessions? She knew there was a rivalry between Lander's and Sonic Boom's, but if they were in the neutral zone then could they talk? There was still so much Madoka needed to learn. Perhaps she could ask Edwin quickly if it would be alright to talk to Liam after the meeting? Or would they think she was some kind of double crossing spy if she went to talk to Ryota's enemy?
Madoka stood once more after her heart rate had gone back to its normal rhythm. She gripped the banister, watching the four groups interact once more and catching the last of Edwin's little speech. “Are sitting here due to their heightened prowess and stronger capabilities. Please, I do not wish to create a fight. But, I cannot watch as a rift is created between two of our most honorable members within the Error gang system within Minimum.” At least someone knew what they were doing; Edwin always seemed so cool and put together. It was almost as though nothing bothered him, or at least on the outside it appeared that way. Sometimes Madoka wondered if anything made that man tick and if there was something that did it, what was it? Unfortunately, Madoka was one of those people that liked to have a mental list of everyone's weaknesses in case something happened and she suddenly found herself needing to take them out.
Eventually she grew bored of listening and staring and so Madoka went to sit against the wall once more. At least against the wall she could doze off for a bit to catch up on that great dream she had been having before Edward woke her up to come to this meeting. Now that Madoka thought about, why had she been so excited to come in the first place? Maybe her gut had told her Liam might be here, or maybe she was hoping it would be a lot cooler than this? Then she remembered, Madoka had wanted to assess the abilities of the other Errors in Minimum.
