Tsubaki lengthened her stride, hurrying to keep up with the man as he promptly started off down the hall. Try as she might, it was difficult not to keep glancing at him every few seconds, like he were a fragile illusion that might disappear at any moment.
Scar being alive and well was incredible, it was, but the more she learned about what had happened, the more she found his good health harder to believe. A slit throat, really...? She felt a little sick at the thought.
Sneak attacks were nothing new to her; in an objective fashion, she could see why an aggressor would choose to attack from behind to disable the man quickly. He was large and physically daunting. Attacking someone like Scar head on would be risky, given that. But to target the throat from behind... That spoke of a certain amount of thought and skill. No simple-minded beast would strike like that, especially given how tall one would have to be to do it...
Tsubaki was silent for a long while. Words didn't come easily on a subject like this.
