Going to greet Leo was going to have to wait, as Ezuri arrived and the briefing began.

He allowed the technique he had been practicing to fade away and turned his attention back towards Kiyomi. His face grew more serious as he listened to the briefing, it was very clear that this wasn't the kind of mission they could take take light-heartedly.

He took a look at the man now that he was close enough to actually get a better idea of just how large Kenta actually was. Hayate was tempted to introduce himself to the man, but they did not have much time before they were heading out. Shifting a little more to the left, Hayate waited for the order to move out.
