Aisling was in Crius's office explaining the mission to April and Scarlet. Crius, Erebus and Arius were there as usual, they already knew what to do.
"I'll be the high priestess who tends the temple, Crius will be with me. You will be my apprentice. Scarlet, you'll be the innkeeper, and keep our target entertained. Erebus you know what to do. Arius, you'll be back up." Aisling explained.
"How come I'm stuck with grumpy pants over here?" Scarlet asked as she pointed at Erebus with her thumb.
"Yeah, how come I'm stuck with this bitch?" Erebus asked, "Oh, I didn't know I was a mirror today," Scarlet chuckled as she side glared at Erebus.
Aisling sighed irritated. "Listen, you either suck it up or I'll have The Artist instead do your side of the mission," Aisling glared at them both.
"I mean-"
 "Fuck no...She's way worse."
 "Way to sidestep that landmine," Scarlet snorted.
Aisling was squinting and glaring at Erebus, with an expression that says 'wanna fucking finish that sentence, mate?'
Erebus sighed in annoyance and rolled his eyes as he folded his arms over his chest. "Fuck it, fine. I don't see the point of me being there, but fine."
Aisling's eye landed on Crius who seemed awfully quiet as he played with the head of his cane.
"Crius?" She called out, but he was too zoned out to hear her, which caught everyone's attention.
April leaned close to him and tilted her head, so she was in his sight and waved her hand. She flinched when his sharp eyes made contact with her, as he grinned.
He tilted his head to the side and stared back, his grin stretched wider when he sensed that he made April nervous.
"Darling~"
April flushed slightly, glanced away and leaned back in her seat, and mumbled to herself. Aisling sighed and rubbed her temples. "Were you even listening?"
"Yes, I just wanted to hear you call out my name," he smirked as he looked at Aisling, elbow on the table while he leaned on his hand. She rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Right, let's get going. I want to be over with this mission as soon as possible. Don't want Selena after our asses." Aisling said as she grabbed her phone and checked the message she got from her friend.
"Whaaat? C'mon, what is she gonna do? Blind us with her holy lightness?" Scarlet snorted, Erebus joined scoffing. "As if. She knows better than to mess with us."
"You have time to chit-chat, you have enough time to get your asses up and get moving." Aisling hissed in annoyance, noticing that nobody moved from their spot. With a wave of her hand, she made Scarlet and Erebus disappear first sending them back to their rooms so they could get ready, leaving April, Arius and Crius.
"I'll be in my spot if needed. If you'll excuse me," Arius said with a bow of his head to Aisling and waved bye to April who waved back with a smile. Crius got up from his spot hands on his cane and a mischievous smirk.
"I'll be in our room, darling." He said as Aisling nodded as he walked out, but stopped and ruffled April's hair, "Good luck, sweetheart."
