"In which case...should this take longer than expected I will be sure to send an Acolyte to let her know."
The motions were complex, but Kagerou would be able to remember a few of them for now. The rest were difficult to observe on purpose, as this was a sequence that Alpha Trion did not want others to know.

He moved towards the Dias, and beckoned Kagerou to follow still.
