"Zero," the once-Reploid responded in turn, still staring hard. Scarecrow...? Yeah, Zero had never heard of a regular human having such a name before. Wonder what Scarecrow used to be? A crow-like Reploid was the first thing that came to mind, judging solely from the name (...though he doubted he was right).
Whatever he used to be, the confirmation that this man wasn't originally a human was enough to explain his apparent attitude toward his illness. If he didn't understand it (or how humans worked in general), then how was he supposed to truly feel alarmed by it beyond what he had seen or heard? Zero would probably be in the same position as him if he'd been showing symptoms.
...Impulsive curiosity would once again get the better of him, it seemed. "So...what were you?" Kind of a pointless question, admittedly, but it wasn't like he had anything better to ask at the moment. Anything else he could say at all would amount to 'well then, be careful', and that he could save for whenever they were finished talking.
