[Tense, L watches Niles follow through on what they'd agreed-upon, talked through, and prepared. The moment of execution is always the one that goes the fastest, but feels the longest, because no amount of preparation can actually guarantee that it goes off without a hitch. Crazier plans have worked out for L before, though, and tackle, drug and tattoo is relatively straightforward, all things considered.
When it looks like Jin Guangyao's struggling has ceased, he emerges from his hiding spot, drawing out his prepared runes. Better to only waste time on what's utterly necessary; he's done as much of this ahead of time as possible.]

[L asks the question coldly, almost professionally.]
Please remain nearby.
[He says so as he kneels beside Jin Guangyao's face, working quickly to unpack his kit. As a witch, he's more than capable of defending himself in case Jin Guangyao is merely drugged to not quite the point of unconsciousness, but he'll need both hands for this, concentration and precision. Niles' cooperation and strength are key for the spindly witch's mission to end in success.]
