Gabriel nodded his understanding and turned his attention back out the window. It was a little more empty now, down in the atrium, all the MLE had gone off to the particular levels in search of their own piece of the action, and their own Cult members.
His stare became more intense upon mention of people they should go and see. Focussing his gaze on the area Van was looking, Gabe moved his head around to see if different angles would help to spot what his boss had. And he thought at one point he could.
Stepping to the side slightly, to give Sabel room to come and look, Gabriel narrowed his eyes at the spot where Recard could be standing. "I doubt he'd be smart enough to do anything of his own accord. Certainly not think on his feet." Which would mean that, yes, Gevrik was most likely there too.
"We have to move before they bring in reinforcements." If they were there. SOMEONE was there, it was only deduction and intuition that led Van to believe it was who they were after.

His eyes flicked between the two men discussing their course of action as his fingers fiddled with the ring on his opposite hand. All the talk about finese and careful planning was starting to twist his gut into high anticipation, and the ring seemed to be the only thing that would give it any release.
That was until Evander started getting excited about something. Then nothing seemed to help, especially not with Gabriel seeming to notice it as well. He was hesitant at first to move up to the space the Auror's had made for him, but upon remembering that there was no time for such resistances he picked up his pace and made it to the window. His eyes flickered all over the Atrium floor, straining at the spot where both Evander and Gabriel seemed to be focused. He couldn't see anything? Why couldn't he see---
His heart nearly crashed into his throat. Either his fears, anxiousness and nervousness were being woven into misconceptions by the possible paranoia of his leaders or he was actually seeing what they were. A flicker. Of something. It looked like...he actually didn't know what it looked like. The ghost of a reflection, maybe? It could have been anything: those floors were so polished they practically were mirrors. Biting his lip, his fingers gripped the ring a little tighter. "I think...I see it." That or they were all going bonkers.
His eyes flicked to Gabriel and then Evander. "They wouldn't do that on purpose, would they?" It didn't seem practical to let one man charm himself with a disillusionment spell if he wasn't any good at it and the other, by apparent notice of only one flicker, was highly good at it. Then again, Evander had asked him how his disillusionment practice was, so maybe he was completely wrong. And neither men seemed very intent on given Recard much credit.
Either way the question remained, what were they going to do now? Given however, that seemed to be the regular question of the day, Sabel opted not to voice it. If possible, he wanted to do as little talking as possible. That, seemed to get him in the least amount of trouble.
He nodded and reminded himself to provide a bit of practice for the YATI group in spotting disillusionment flaws later.
"Gevrik could be aware of it, if he's there, knowing that if they're observed -and you can bet if Gevrik is there he knows someone is watching- he might be luring us." Evander responded quietly, eyes still searching the Atrium below in the same way you looked for hidden pictures in those weird colour pattern magic picture book things.
"We need to move. Sabel when we get down there, I want you to use Homenum Revelio to confirm how many we're dealing with and where they are. You need to be ready to move, to step in at any moment if Gabe or myself fall, and more importantly to send off a Patronus if we do. Damien, Wes, Dorian, Izzy, Dacs. Any of them you, understand?" Not that he thought himself or Gabe likely to fail.... but you had to be sure of a back up plan if the worst happened. "And for Circe's sake keep yourself shielded."
Speaking of Patronuses and back up, Van played one of the cards he'd kept hidden in his hand and sent his Mountain Lion Patronus off to a hidden ally and then turned his attention to Gabriel.
"Are you ready, Gabe? You get Recard." He added that last part generously. Probably there'd be some crossfire down there, it'd really be their side against the cult, but it was good to know when someone else would be around to focus on one of the opponents so you could focus on the other with less need to watch your back.
He straightened and pulled his wand, then headed to the stairs. It was go time.
