The small girl gave the dome-like barrier an aggrieved look. Now [i]she[/i] was on the outside--or more importantly, [i]Andrea[/i] was on the outside--along with the vehicle. And, notably, the seating. Which meant she couldn't just sit back and wait where it was comfortable and air-conditioned; she had to go in with the rest of them--at least so far as to cross inside herself--and risk being chewed up by anything that might get the drop on them all.

She knew summoners were an uncommon class and all, but they'd been working together for years, couldn't they work out a slightly better procedure than sending someone whose greatest personal asset was her baking skills into a danger zone? She wasn't going to be able to dissuade demons by offering them fresh cookies! 

Cookies that were going to remain inside her incongruously militaristic backpack for the time being. No cookies for Ayako and Shiro until she got back.

With a sigh, Akira hopped out of the vehicle and took Andrea's hand, pulling the demon through the barrier and into the construction site. "You heard the instructions. Priority one is protecting anyone still alive for extraction, then occupy the major threat."

Her response was a nod, then sprinting ahead. Right, [i]she[/i] would stick with the others, there was no reason for the summoned demon to show such a concern. She'd just heal off anything that happened and, being a summon, could be called back to [i]Akira's[/i] position as needed.

After a few steps further into the construction site, the brunette turned and looked back at the new hires. "So, did either of you go to an Academy...? How much do you know about normal procedure?" Or, for that matter, general tactics. If this was their first deployment, then it really [i]was[/i] important to not get in over their heads by taking on the potential Devil and letting the weaklings have free reign.
