Gabriel is almost always found inside when it's severely cold outside.  Today was one of those days where he could not be bothered to venture out into the cold, even to stretch his wings.  It's not that it really bothered him all that much.  The real reason was that Gabriel liked to use the cold weather as an excuse to be lazy.  Because you know what?  It really was the perfect excuse to stay inside and be lazy.

He could be found watching television in the common room on the first floor.  He owned every season of the Game of Thrones, and was continuing his marathon of it.  Right now he was watching Ned Stark getting beheaded.  Poor little Arya.

Amiko, well wrapped in a flight suit, waited patiently as her brother carried her to the landing point near the Yashida compound.

They'd been paired together for a little while, handling various ... errands. It was good to work with him. Even if they were seeing a lot clearer now, as if a lot of clutter had been removed from their minds, they were still family.

Which led her thoughts to the ostensible mission here: to go after the sword Amiko had previously claimed 'on behalf of the sane side of the Clan.' And apparently, she'd been Confused at the time as to which side that was. Their obvious mission was to rectify that.

But so far, they were not being obvious. They were good at that.

"They'll know we're coming," Amiko reminds him. "They're not so lost and stumbling they won't have been able to find out a few things, and suspect what we obviously want. Just not direction or precise timing. And please keep Hajime off of me, Misha. I'm not concerned about the others. They'll hesitate, for old time's sake." Old times were hazy and vague in her head, but not so much so that she couldn't exploit them.
