All the preparations he needed to have a fine day complete, Abel stepped out of the dorm room and into the hall, closing the door softly behind him lest he should awaken the tubular dude still dozing within.  He had a mind to visit the cafeteria, but before he could move five steps from his front door, his pocket became abuzz with his scroll's 'alert' sound.  Krysanthe's response time made the guardian's heart just a little bit lighter, though of course, he reflected, she could have given him a swift and crushing 'no'.

This was not the case.  He opened up the newly-received message to learn that the blonde huntress was keen on his idea.  Silently patting himself on the back, Abel pondered how best to reply to her followup question.  Frankly, he doubted that any of his teammates would want to accompany their least interesting teammate on such a mundane task, barring the fact that one was sleeping and the other two were who-knows-where, but he also didn't want to find out lest they confound his expectations by joining him.  Was that selfish?  Abel though so, glumly, but concluded that it was a necessary vice at this moment.  If they ever cared to find out, his teammates would surely understand.

[color=007fff]I don't think my teammates would be very interested.  If you know anyone that would hate to miss out on something like this, though, feel free to invite them along.  Just now, I'm heading to get a quick meal.  What do you say we meet at the cliff over the forest at 9:00?[/color]

Hopefully that would be suitable—and hopefully none of Krysanthe's teammates insisted on tagging along.  While Abel wouldn't begrudge them unduly if they did, the last thing he wanted was for a forest hike to turn from a special event to a school outing.
