"Ow..." Irate, she tutted. "Watch it!" Je'Nai wasn't one to often lose her temper. Even on the few occasions where she [i]did[/i], the hybrid disliked lashing out or revealing whatever nasty thoughts floated along in her mind when whenever she felt particularly bad. Post-tantrum guilt was also inevitable. Yet now she was finding it hard to remain calm when she wasn't just shoulder-checked, but rather, full on [i]walked[/i] right into. As if she were invisible or nonexistent. It didn't help that she was already on edge, her nerves bunched up and tense after that demon (whoever he may be) had suddenly shown up in the field. Turned out to be a false alarm, sort of, but the ominous atmosphere surrounding the mystery still lingered. Actually Je'Nai would have been interested in staying around a little longer to satisfy her own curiosity but there was already a crowd forming. And it seemed that a few higher ups who'd arrived shortly after the first scream wished to disperse the gathering audience. Very well. Perhaps that was for the best. Besides, not like it was something she could argue with, she was in no position to challenge others with ranks as important as Generals Highwind or Winchester. Je'Nai looked over her shoulder, but the stranger was already gone from her sight. She scoffed and tried to move on.

          Poor Ma'ai, in the meanwhile, had just barely gotten an hour's worth of rest before he was apparently needed once more. The angel shot up like a bullet from the sudden disturbance of Damien's loud entrance. He blinked rapidly several times until his eyes could adjust and then practically glared at the demon. "What? What is it? What's wrong?" he asked as sternly as he could despite his still groggy state. Now both too awake and too impatient, Ma'ai climbed out of bed before Damien could answer and began dressing. Back when he was still just a young recruit he'd been forced to getting used to dressing and undressing in front of others so the angel moved without shame to pluck his clothes off the floor before hastily putting his uniform back together.
