"So, what is it?" Elizabeth crossed her arms.

After many delays and hours of moving around, Hidan finally got the chance to speak to the woman in private now that the group had booked their hotel rooms for the day.

"I'm sorry for intruding at this hour but I didn't see any other appropriate time." Hidan closed the door behind him, making sure Cecilia had completely left.

"Oh please, enough with the formalities! I know my title of queen holds some value but you're not a subordinate!" The woman waved her hand dismissively as she sat on the bed side with one leg over the other.

Hidan just stared at her. The gaze remained silent and extremely awkward for her.

"W-what is it?"

"Ah...forgive me." He shook his head. "I didn't really know you were a Queen, I merely speak out of natural respect. I guess that simply came with how I viewed you."

Now it was her turn to stay quiet, letting those words brew in her thought process as the result gradually made her cheeks run hot.

"Anyway. I won't take up much of your time." Hidan brought back her attention to him. "During our trip here. I had made contact with unknown entities up on the roof of the 'plane.'"

"What?"

"These beings appeared hostile, I couldn't get much information out of them but they intended on getting to one of you, if not all. I wanted to alert you incase they send more."

"Send more? What happened to the ones you encountered?"

"They were determined to cause a ruckus, I couldn't allow them in while my sister's were on board."

If that was blatant than she didn't know what was. Elizabeth just wanted to make sure she wasn't mistaken on what he's implying. Still, this sudden situation did require a lot of thought.

"Thank you for letting me know, I will consult the matter with headquarters but that'll mainly be for approval for use of force if something does happen."

"Then I'll be off then, I have some of my own belongings to bring about." Hidan turned with a nod.

"Wait a moment, actually." The knightly spark lifted her finger. "Since you're here I wanted to inform you that since you're a last second addition to this trip, you'll be sharing a room with me. We couldn't reserve another one."

"Sharing a room?"

"Is it a problem?"

"I was more so wondering if it would be a problem for you. I may not be adept to the world here but I'm not alien to...social conducts." The man scratched his cheek awkwardly.

"Ha! Nonsense, I welcome the company! Besides, you'd be a fool to try anything with me given what I could do in retaliation, and you're no fool are you?" She flashed him a smug but playful look.

Hidan laughed before turning to leave. "No ma'am."

...

...

After getting settled in to the room, Hidan accompanied Elizabeth to lunch where the others said they'll group up. Picking a restaurant out in the city rather than immediately relying on room service.

As they make their way down the quiet corridors of the room, Hidan's walking came to a halt. He turned and quickly lunged his hand back, grabbing the sneaking stranger that came up to him by the collar.

"Wawawaw...!! How?! How did you see me coming!?" It was Laplus who was wailing her arms around in annoyance while her other friends came up more casually.
