"I need some answers, and the answers lie in Lumen," Gabriel briefly explained. "That's all I can tell you."
He didn't tell the Holy Priestess where exactly in Lumen he was going, or what his true goal was. His answers were vague enough to protect his real goals while also giving away some information to keep the young lady happy.
Avilia wasn't stupid either. She understood what Gabriel was trying to do here. However, she didn't interrogate too much. No matter where he was going, with her Shadow Beast following behind him, she believed that it was only a matter of time before she found out about this.
"When are you leaving?" she asked.
"Tonight." Gabriel answered, waving his hand to disperse the isolation barrier. He had already answered everything he wanted to.
"Do you need to borrow a beast again?" Avilia asked, watching Gabriel who walked toward the balcony.
