[ When Yima's request comes, it's one that Misa had been expecting— being the leader of a place like Zenith must come with lots and lots of (dangerous) missions to do. It was only a matter of time before they were asked to go out on something like this, and to be honest, she's more than willing. The faster she helps Yima, the faster she'll be reunited with Light, after all... it can't be that hard, looking for one shard, least of all if she partners up with someone really strong.

Still, the one part that does end up being a surprise is running into Howl at the set out. Somehow, someway, she hasn't been able to catch him all this time, despite hearing vague whispers of him being around. Being able to reunite with him puts her in high spirits, even if she has to wait through the boring debrief of the situation until she's able to drag him along to pair up.

Only when they've made it out of earshot from the other groups does she pipe up, pushing along their hoverboard without actually getting on it. ]

Soooo, do we even need to use this thing, or can you just teleport us there? Who knows what kind of tricks you've learned, getting here early and all, hee hee.
