Metatron looked at the Cherub.
The Cherub helplessly shook its eyes, as if to say, I don't know either.
As a Cherub, it could only look back through time. Those were the images it had seen in the past, and they were bound to cause misunderstandings.
An awkward silence settled over the scene. Everyone exchanged looks, but not a single person spoke.

No one knew how much time had passed. Just as everyone was growing bored, a cough broke the silence.
Metatron and the Cherub had finally finished their exchange.

Without giving anyone a chance to object, Metatron vanished in a flash, seemingly a little embarrassed.
"Both parties, please follow me," the Cherub said. "I will arrange accommodations for you. As I said before, please do not wander around. Otherwise, you will have no one but yourselves to blame if you are killed."
