For a moment Al pondered which direction to go. He'd seen other patients being led both past this block and down the hallway to another. After a moment he headed down the hallway and through the open door, keeping an alert eye out for anything odd.

"There were other beasts in front of me, but something slit my throat from behind. I never saw what it was."

Scar had been assuming another monster of some sort. Nobody here was out to kill him.

Were they?

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.

"What matters it that you're okay now!"

Scar was thinking along the same lines. He had encountered a scant few of Landel's resident monsters, but none of them had ever seemed so precise, never mind so intelligent as to figure out the quickest and most clever way of killing him. The monsters that had been coming at him from the front certainly hadn't known that.

He only nodded at Tsubaki's comment, rounding the corner.
