Edgar rounded the corner, spinning his shovel idly as he spotted his party for the night. Fashionably late, but better than not arriving at all. He greeted them both with a nod a piece. "Nina, Ryuuzaki. I saw your message on the board about the inspector and I've heard nothing from Terra, so I assume we are all that's coming tonight."
That last bit didn't settle well with him- he'd seen neither hide nor hair of Terra in a few days, which was never a good sign in a place like Landel's. She could have been locked away for torture, been infected as well and too sick to leave her chambers... or worse, brainwashed and released into the world around them as a stranger in her own skin. As far as Edgar was concerned, death was a better choice than to be stripped of himself.
Of course, it was a bit different for Terra, as it wasn't too different from the state she'd been in, her memories still locked away and her potential unknown; however, she'd been within grasp before, somewhere he and Locke could help her come to understand her powers the same way they had in their own world. If she'd been 'released,' she was well beyond their reach for the time being.
Which meant he needed to focus on the task at hand: the basement, Landel, and the infection that was spreading through the patient population. He eyed Ryuuzaki a moment, trying to assess his condition beyond the sling from a cursory glance.
