When the ivy started rustling with activity, Aidou realized D was actually deigning to climb, and had not stayed below or wandered off as Aidou expected. He shot the other a considering glance as D came over the lip. His silence must have piqued some curiosity.

"Why are you asking me?" Aidou questioned innocuously. "I'm just a child." Well, that answered the question of whether or not he'd heard. His mien returned to reflecting his actual feelings, however: reservation. His maturity was in question during times of peace, but when it came to things like this, he wasn't so eager to goof off. "Listen, D. This is my free advice: follow what gets written on the bulletin board. Sometimes, there is useful information given. Like this creature. Allegedly it wanders, attacking whomever it comes across, and is not known to take much damage in return."

Aidou glanced back to D, one eyebrow cocked slightly. "Other than that, I have no interest in something that has no right to exist. It looks like it just came straight out of a horror film."

It was in that moment, Aidou stilled, rolling his shoulders ever so slightly like a chill had gone down them. He didn't bother looking over his shoulder; somehow, he knew Indra was coming.

The sounds of feasting had stopped.

"I told you so," was all he said to D, assuming the other would catch on. "They'll attack anyone, no matter the cause."
