Auriola let out a tiny smile, before she ruffled Dimitri's hair for a moment. [color=E0FFFF][b]"That's adorable...don't worry, we can talk all about it when we're done. I've read plenty of guides on how to make a date go smoothly for research purposes. And, women are tricky. I cannot say for sure, since this outer shell is really only made to look female, but I'll do my best to assist you. For now, yes, the mission takes importance,"[/b][/color] the gynoid said before one of her fingers started being tugged at, eyes going a bit wide. [color=E0FFFF][b]"Target found."[/b][/color] she said, as she started following the direction of one of her Observers.

As Hakuryu observed the girl at work with the ritual, the book that had fallen was deftly caught by a silent observer, a miniature copy of Auriola in the likeness of a cylinder-bodied doll. Having found Hakuryu, and the strange ritual occurring, the Observer figured that it was best to call for backup, and as such plucked on the almost invisible string that connected her to Auriola. Having felt proud at keeping Hakuryu's location a secret, she figured that now, she should be a distraction for him.

Gingerly placing the book down, the observer glided along the ground silently, before reaching another bookshelf, hurriedly climbing atop it in order to make sure that she could be as distracting as possible. Grabbing a glass from a nearby table, she quickly smashed it against the ground, before gliding away, slow enough to make sure the ritual caster was aware of her presence, hugging a corner and staring at her, crimson eyes gleaming in the dark.
