Ekibe simply smiled as she achieved victory upon her fellow devil's legs, managing to pull them away from Nora and climb into the space left behind to prevent them from closing again. The close contact wasn't necessarily something Ekibe had found especially confronting, as she had to get plenty close to people much older than herself later at night. Although, Nora had the added benefit of smelling the subtle scent of sweetness, an incense which invoked a rather odd break of character for the temptress. 

[color=dodgerblue]"Ahhhh, you smell so niiiiice~!"[/color] Head snuggling comfortably against Nora's neck, the newest addition to the devil family was brought face-to-face with its leading succubus. As soon as Nora began to feel pain, however, she immediately backed off.
 
That is, until she realised why she was clutching her head so tightly. 

[color=dodgerblue]"Hehehe! Well, it seems the newest addition to the family has just learned the first rule of being a devil:"[/color]

[color=dodgerblue]"Don't pray to God."[/color]

Relaxing, the foreign woman pulled away and straightened out her clothes. With a playful wink, Ekibe moved aside as the bright light brought forth a new face - someone Ekibe didn't know. She addressed Tsumiki with familiarity, however, so she didn't keep her guard up too long. The banter turned to a close quickly, and the situation made itself apparent with few words. [color=dodgerblue][i]'Stray Devils who didn't kill their master? Of the Asmodeus clan? That sounds familiar...'[/i][/color] She chose not to question it, instead listening to the few words to be exchanged between Tsumiki and the mysterious woman. As she vanished, Ekibe couldn't help but mutter [color=dodgerblue][i]"Such a bitch..."[/i][/color] quietly to herself. Although, this might not have exactly gone unheard of among her fellow members of the peerage. 

Her head turned to Tsumiki's attention as soon as her name was called. With a firm nod, she pulled out her phone and began texting a quick message to her contact, stating she wouldn't be able to make it tonight and apologising for the short notice. With a faint sigh she pocketed the phone, before flashing her master a fresh smile. [color=dodgerblue]"It's fine. I'm in need of some more serious training anyways."[/color]

Confidence never fazed the young woman, that was for sure. 

Kenji's voice caught Ekibe's attention to follow. Yes, [i]them[/i]. As much as she wanted to be there for the new member of the family, she wasn't going to die under Tsumiki's watchful eye. If she had made it, then Nora definitely could. [color=dodgerblue]"Sounds good to me. They might even have attracted the attention of the strays, so it isn't like it's out of our master's interest. But keep in mind, that temple's going to light right back up as soon as I set foot in it, so you'll probably have to do the actual scouting within."[/color] Without skipping a beat, her attention switched to her King. [color=dodgerblue]"Master, before we begin in full, do you mind if Kenji and I go together? It would probably be in our best interest, seeing as we pair so perfectly in combat together."[/color]

Very true indeed. Ekibe had speculated that her use of cloning alongside Kenji's Dark Light Generation could create a rather devastating combination, arming an army of rooks with machine guns. Of course, they hadn't had the opportunity to implement this idea, but Ekibe assumed it would be a good chance to practice, as well as explore their undisclosed reasons. She would argue her point with her master further, however if he truly needed her elsewhere, she wouldn't object.
