Returning to the road found him in the midst of more chaos than when he'd left. Patients were scrambling every direction while the dove at their selected prey left and right. He dodged along the road, avoiding more patients than monsters as he made his way back to the back of the damaged bus, finding the area cleared. A quick check inside only reminded him that there were more dangers than the birds there and turned his path back along the sides of the buses.
The girl should have known what to do in this situation - to get away and arm herself somehow - but that was only if she'd been trained as he had, which he knew wasn't the case. She'd stayed back where he'd gone, calling for other patients to get clear. That made them different, and it made chances high that she was still somewhere near the buses. He kept low as he ran along the side of the damaged bus and neared the second, wishing like hell that he'd had his proper gear and not an outfit offering little protection. Even if he found the girl, there wasn't much he could do outside of trying to fend off a bird with a tree branch.
He'd still try in any event.
The bus he was running along shook suddenly and rocked his way, bumping his arm and throwing his balance just enough to halt his pace. Something had hit from the other side, a bird no doubt. He swore at the disturbance and gave the bus a quick glare before stepping off again. When he halted next, it was at the sound of a familiar voice, and only for a moment. When Tsubaki's voice carried just over the sounds of the chaos from the other side of the bus, he paused only long enough to get his bearings before continuing on and rounding the bus at the front.
And here she was, somehow armed and with another patient. A kid with spiked hair was before her, charging, unarmed at a one of the birds. Someone else he recognized. He'd never seen Sora fight before, but didn't need that knowledge to know what would happen if the kid met the bird without a weapon.
"Watch out, kid!" he called, moving to take his only weapon at the bird from behind.
