ZEX found his thoughts wandering to Teisel again as he walked through the halls. Ah, he'd been such a wonderful bodyguard! Big, intimidating, and easily manipulated into doing whatever he pleased. Whatever had happened to him? He'd been quite fond of the large human... but it was so hard to rely on anyone in this place for long. They all seemed to vanish in time. Except him, for some reason.
What he really needed, unfortunately enough, was a new bodyguard, someone who could take Teisel's place at his side as a beautiful human shield. Finding one, however, was the tricky part. He'd really been lucky with Teisel. What a marvelous find! There weren't many humans here that fit his... proportions.
His vision was poor in the dark, and he still had his invisible assailants pestering him, so he was somewhat distracted when he nearly ran directly into a large figure in front of him.
"Ah, excuse me..." And ZEX blinked. He recognized that odd pattern of fur on the human's head... perhaps things had turned in his favor after all! He wasn't quite as big as Teisel, but he was certainly big enough. "Oh, we've met before, haven't we? Gant, wasn't it?" Close to a VUX name, but not close enough. Still, easier to recall than some of the other human names he'd heard.
