A lovely day strokes the hair of this earth. Flowers and trees trying to breeze following the direction of the wind,wherever it may blow. Kise stills feels a little shaky walking into this world. The center gravity of this timeline is still different from his back in his own. Nevertheless, he'll survive. Approaching a nearby cabin, Kise stood up in the old wrecked cabin. Chirped off woods can be seen just along the door and the walls of the cabin. He then turned his back from the cabin and tries to evaluate the place, "The total openness of thisnarea ranges from 1500 to 2000. Maybe... " closing his eyes, his brain waves began to flourish inside his head, giving him focus. He withdrew a 9mm Caliber, both from his two sides and began to shoot randomly.

Suddenly you can hear a loud groaned from a wild animal that he just killed. And also a bird that fell from the sky. All done with his eyes closed. Not to brag about it, buy simply testing his skills in this timeline.

He dragged the wild boar into the old cabin and prepares a campfire. Obviously, Kiseki is expecting someone. Someone from the inside.

All of a sudden, the two men conversing had both assumed a more apprehensive stance. Syrille, not wanting to miss out on anything, remained still and waited to hear what their next moves would be; the sounds she heard from outside sufficed.

A sense of worry rose eventually, however; suddenly, the recording of an dark-sounding, incomprehensible mantra had started echoing through the forest and the clearing. Of course, she couldn't know what it was all about, but an ominous feeling had settled in her gut, dictating that her detection was nigh.
Thus, she braced herself for a nimble escape. As quietly as possible, he slung her bag on her shoulder, and then pulled on her coat over it. Her masking was due next; the woman carefully did up the topmost buttons of her high-collared coat, all the way up to the bottom of her nose and pulled the hood over her head, neatly tucking any stray hair strand in. Although she was aware that the recording would mask any soft noise she made, she could never rule out the possibility of exceptional hearing blessing the enemy side.

Once her preparations were complete, she assumed a stance that would ease the initiation of movement and lay in wait. Always assuming a cold, calculating stance, regardless of potential surprises that lay in store for her.

The recordings continued to play out until the time where the chant has stopped. There was no sign of her moving forward to their campsite, let alone any progress ever made by the intruder. One of the person spokes out from the groups of mantra chanters to pray for their one and only God of theirs.

"O' RNGesus, I thank you for your unlimited blessing from your box. O' Lewdcifer, give us your strength and determination to rue the day filled with unwanted filths. As we will unleash Hell upon this Earth as your children."

The recording ends there. The cabin is now left with seemingly quiet atmosphere, with the sound of firewood crackling down and the sickly sweet smell of boar meat coming from up above.

Kiseki remained silent inside the cabin as he frequently peaks outside to see where she is, with no avail, he cant seem to pick where the person is. So kise sat down to wait for further instructions from Erik when suddenly the door opens, with a glimpse of her face, the gig is up. This was the person whose been snooping around. Kiseki signalled Erik for an SoS, reclecting the mirror towards him. "Its over." Kiseki stood up to his ground and pointed the gun on her, without saying a word this girl could go for her last words. But Kiseki remained silent amd just aimed the gun at her.

The signal was given to Erik a second time after the first, meaning his number two is in need of a help. While rushing down to the cabin, the informant quickly inserts one of the elemental cassette tapes inside the tape deck and closed it down before activating his Origin Gear, Requiem.

"Open, Requiem."

Upon activation, the metallic gloves and arm braces has been fully functioned as a computer with LED lights glowing underneath the exterior. Since the elemental tapes were inserted is of fire elements, the lights have turned from blue to orange quickly indicating the power is ready for use. Despite it's rugged appearance, it does what it promised the user needs; providing informations on the go while balancing on powers.

When Erik opens the door, the wooden texture is left with a burn due to direct contact with fire. Inside, he has found one of the person who spied upon the two alongside Kiseki whom already pointed his guns towards the female. He hasn't noticed the mole who were staying at the cabin the whole time, let alone listening to their conversation.

"Kindly surrender your weapons and put your hands above your head." Erik commands the blue-haired female to surrender as he keep his distance towards the enemy.

"Kindly surrender your weapons and put your hands over your head."

At that point, Syrille could only do as the male who had just entered ordered. Except surrender her only weapon, the crossbow, for the time being. She wasn't planning on actually using it either way - especially not since the opposing side included a gunslinger, who had also entered and probably possessed better senses than her-, and it only had one or two bolts inside the cartridge.

Without as much as a word at first, she put her arms behind her head. In the meantime, her mind was frantically spinning, coming up with ways of possible escape. Technically, she was not a spy - as she had been in the area long before them, nor had she heard anything vital despite her curiosity -, though her decision to cover her face could easily convince them of the opposite.
...Unless she claimed she was cold?

She was always carrying her Origin Gear around, and even without actively using it, she realised she could devise a plan using it. Besides, she was already wearing rather light clothing underneath that coat - as part of exercising her endurance to the temperatures her Gear required to operate -, and the night was cool. Besides, it did take some time for the temperature to lower to below zero degrees, so the transition would be rather smooth for higher temperatures.

Limiter, deactivated.

In the meantime, she shivered; the first person affected by her Gear's activation was herself. Her own body temperature dropped slightly upon activation, so shivering was only normal. Though she would definitely need to investigate that, as a couple other abilities of hers seemed to be malfunctioning.

"I'm... cold..."
Her whisper came out raspy, and she lowered her voice a little bit, assuming a helpless stance. Along with truly displaying weakness, that was done in order to prevent her 'captors' from seeing as much of her visage as possible. And then, all she could do was wait again, and plan accordingly.

Her hapless show doesn't flinch the informant for lowering his guard down. He knew it was just a poor attempt to escape from the two gentlemans who happened to draw her into the corner, both were armed. Adhering to his ideals, he never liked to get his hands dirty even on a girl who happens to be spying on them. But on the other hand, witnesses should be eliminated in order to keep the syndicate's secret safe and sound.

"Get out." Those were the last words from the informant to the gunsliner before going further with the woman. Erik aimed his right hand towards her only to direct his Requiem to spew fire around the cabin, causing the flammable objects to catch fire around both of them.

"Syrille Eveann. Eldest daughter of the Shin Lok family. While a person with few words, you have a soft heart on the inside despite being a Phantom's Child. Origin Gear is ice-based; that you can conjure and use at will with the cost of your own life. However, the weakness you inherit is not only your life force, but also moistures and unprecedented conditions such as extreme weather that is opposite to yours." The informant describes Syrille via summarizing them while keeping a cool exterior inside the burning cabin. He aimed the right gauntlets once more, interrogating her.

"What is the Phantom's Children objective by spying on the Red Syndicate?" Erik questions Syrille, in the same blunt tone.

The information dump coming from the dark-haired man was quite the shocker for Syrille; enough to disturb her usual, coldly peaceful expression. She couldn't help but flinch as he went on, in the same stern tone as earlier...

Until his question crashed down on her. What the Phantom's Children's business was with obtaining information on the Red Syndicate. At that point, the truth was itching to come out of her lips, as she was not the type of person who would resort to lies. Despite her occupation as an assassin. That disposition only served to drive her further away from other people, as she enjoyed honesty but feared being turned in by someone... That, in turn, had only served to add more difficulty to her attempts at leading a normal life, yet she hadn't found a workaround yet.

Fully certain that she would not tolerate herself otherwise, she raised her head and eyed the informant firmly, indicating brutal honesty in her gaze.
"There is no link between the two to begin with", she started off, only to take a deep breath and explain herself properly, always maintaining a calm composure.
"Your title of "Informant" really suits you; you already know so much about me even though I have not really made a debut. But... I digress. I was here, training before you two came along in the first place, and even passed out here. Until the gunshots woke me. Then, I merely forced myself to stay awake and still, so I would find an opportunity to leave without being interrogated. Though I guess it was inevitable..."

She paused for a moment, for another deep breath.
"While it is true that the voices of the two of you were the only thing heard in this clearing, thus exposure to them was inevitable, I have not heard anything crucial, not even your names. And I assure you, I do tend to stick to a confidential policy about info which does not concern my mission. That is all I know about the situation."

Some stray moonlight fell straight on her eyes, emphasizing on her gaze as she persistently eyed both the informant and the gunslinger, calmly awaiting their reactions to her clarification.

Even in the matter of urgency such as this, Syrille still manages to kept her composure underneath her skin. However, the sincerity that came from her tone surprised the informant slight. An assassin from the Phantom's Children is being truthful to herself, never a lie heard from his ears. There's none of the imminent signs that suggests deviation to her words, the gaze was shooting straight to the informant's sunglasses, never seems to look away for any attempts on escaping them.

The fire hasn't already reached the point where everything is burning... yet. So far, the fires spewed by the computer has yet to consume every part of flammable items inside the cabins. But since spoke truthfully, the informant puts down his right arm brace to change the elements by pressing the 'stop' button.

"If you ever report this to your superiors, chances are you won't be getting out alive." Erik changed the elemental tapes from fire to water, the lights were glowing teal. He took aim at the fire to extinguish the flame by using both hands, causing Requiem to spew out a torrent of water that puts out the fire inside the cabin.

"Since you spoke out the truth beneath your objective, I let you go. For now." He closes down his Origin Gear after some time putting out the fire, turning his back on her before walking away. "Until we meet again... Christine."

Despite the informant's unexpected decision to allow her to actually leave unscathed, Syrille maintained a calm exterior. For several seconds, she felt relief. Though she had always believed that for an assassin like her, being truthful meant execution, that time it had, in fact, saved her life.

Limiter, activated.

The attempted fire on the cabin had driven the temperature upwards; she coudl already feel the strain her Origin Gear imposed to normalize that increase. Though her skin remained cold to the touch, the relief following the Limiter's activation quickly spread through her.
She straightened her stature, always preserving a sense of calmness in her actions although she actually wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
"Thank you, sir. I appreciate your act. And I shall not waste my chances", she responded with a light bow of appreciation. However, at the mention of the name 'Christine', she couldn't help but glance at the informant in confusion... having no idea what he was talking about.

Regardless, she cautiously stepped out of the cabin and finally stretched out her limbs after spending so many hours curled up on the floor. Finally, after stealing a last glance from the man and his companion in an attempt to confirm her honesty, she broke into a full sprint, disappearing into the forest. Her light shoes, in combination with the soft grass growing on the soil, muffled her footsteps. Though she was unsure for how long her stamina would last, as she hadn't recovered completely, it was the last thing on her mind.

What was really bothering her was the possibility of her Order - or worse, her Mentor - finding out. And she hadn't even considered the possibility of him stalking her that very moment.
