He spared a mental wince of apology and sympathy for Quina as s/he wou.d be missing out on the briefing. Not to mention, it was their first mission to boot! However, all thoughts on filling his friend up on the details were pushed to the back of his mind as Guile began the briefing in earnest. He wasn't entirely surprised at the lack of information but felt rather wary of the effectiveness of the vaccine. Even so, like the Street Fighter said, it was better than nothing, and at least after the successful completion of this mission, they would have access to more information regarding the Virus. Ezio's gaze was fixed unerringly on the cube and the written information it provided, trying as best he could to memorize it all. Location, terrain, background, mission objective, teams and members of each. He was pleased to note Quina's name near his in Team 1 and didn't find any objections in Crash Bandicoot being marked as team leader, for he was content in following orders unless they were obviously suicidal. He would provide his opinion when asked for or whenever necessary, and depending on the nature of his team. Were they to be the scouts? Support? Frontline heavy hitters? When the briefing ended, he remained seated for a little longer as the majority of the heroes filed out of the room, not wanting to be swept in the rush to level 49. It also provided him time to mull over the facts they had been given and an opportunity to ensure his inventory remained unchanged. Counting to the one minute mark, he exited the Council Room silently, heading upwards to receive his shot. Although the concept of letting some unknown near his bare skin to stick a needle in didn't appeal to him and he had watched at the person vaccinating him like a hawk, the entire process was over in five minutes. Back at the lower level, Ezio made his way over to the teleporter that would take them all to the Erion Kingdom, easily picking Quina out in the crowd despite his/her lack of height. With his relatively sharp eyesight, he could see conversations between the members of his team already ongoing, meaning his tardiness had cost him to miss out on whatever pleasantries - of lack thereof - were being exchanged. Slotting himself seamlessly beside his friend, Ezio greeted the other members of Team 1 with a courtly half-bow, holding it for half a second. It didn't hurt to be polite to people who he was going to trust to guard his back, after all. [color=ed1c24]"Apologies for keeping you waiting. I look forward to working with you all, [i]cara squadra[/i]."[/color] He said as he straightened, allowing his Eagle Vision to flicker on as he scrutinised the four of them individually. As expected, now that he recognised them as allies, all of them appeared blue in his vision, even the enigmatic Hunter he half-expected to turn up grey. Nonetheless, he wasn't complaining as it would allow him to keep a much better track of his team during the mission. Although the mask floating by Crash's side didn't register as an anything, he noticed that the others weren't bothered by its presence. Maybe it was a topic they discussed before he arrived, so he dismissed it with a mental shrug. Satisfied, he deactivated the ability, returning his eyes from gold to its usual brown. [color=ed1c24]"We are not going on an expedition, [i]mio amico[/i]. We are tasked with a mission to liberate the Kingdom of Erion from the Demon Lord Odin and save a certain Princess Gwendolyn."[/color] Ezio turned to Quina, laying a firm hand on his/her left shoulder. [color=ed1c24]"However, you need to get to the 49th level in order to get a shot of vaccine. Precaution from being infected by the M-Virus."[/color] Removing his hand, Ezio faced the teleporter, tilting his head slightly to the side as he studied it before he closed the distance between him and the contraption. [color=ed1c24]"Well, shall we? There's no point in lingering, I suppose. We can always discuss tactics and strategy after we see the terrain."[/color] He muttered, throwing a glance over his shoulder and stepped in, half-hoping that the transport process wasn't as disorientating as the last one was.
