So the weird monkeys [i]did[/i] belong to Maliss. That made sense. Kind of. It did make her wonder about the plushies she'd been distributing, though. Had she been contributing to the hunting of Kiyo's Mogall? Either way, her deciding to call right at this exact moment was awkward. If described generously. Hizuki sighed, audible to everyone listening, before gaining a bit more altitude for privacy. She continued ascending as she talked, mostly because hovering was actually more effort for her than staying on the move. It also got her further away from Willow's attempted guilt trip, which might've worked if she had any actual confidence in Willow's character. [color=yellow]"Actually, the club was trying to get me to set up a meeting with you. They're also right outside with me and another light girl."[/color] Hizuki frowned. [color=yellow]"Willow had my number because she's supposed to be my partner in the club for now. Why'd you steal hers instead of just, you know, calling me on your phone?"[/color] She shook her head, continuing before Black Gate could answer. [color=yellow]"Nevermind that."[/color]

This was going to be difficult to navigate without [i]someone[/i] accusing her of being a traitor in some shape or form. It wasn't true, of course, but it seemed like people were going to assume she was playing them for just doing her best to be helpful to everyone. [color=yellow]"Look, the timing is pretty bad, but do you think I could set up a meeting with you, me, and Evil Eye? I promise to deal with the GEMs if they show up. Or anyone in the Detention Club if they decide to do something bad. Okay? I don't know what kind of fight you have going on with them, but we can sort it out if we talk."[/color]
