Night 73: Main Hallway, 1-West

Now she was definitely worried, too. There was no one waiting at this end of the larger hall -- though she could hear voices from somewhere up ahead, talking too quietly for even her sensitive ears. Had something happened? There weren't many of them left, but surely there were more than that.

Worrying about it wouldn't accomplish anything, but she could worry and move at the same time, so she did.

She had been right. Good.

Scar was in the main corridor that ran along the dormitory block. She approached him quickly, her flashlight angled down so as not to blind him.

"Scar."

She didn't want to startle him.

Lust's clacking footsteps were easy to pick out. He looked up as she rounded the corner into the hallway.

"Same objective as last night; the Elrics will meet us out here." Scar assumed Alphonse wouldn't take very long.

True to his promise, Al soon showed up with his brother in tow, smiling when he saw Lust with him. "Hey, haven't seen you for a while. How've you been, Lust?" They might notice the slight wetness to his eyes if they were to look closely, but for the most part the partial breakdown with Ed didn't leave any signs.

Ed followed Al quietly, still subdued. At least since he's being quiet, he's not likely to set anyone off.

Thankfully it didn't take long for the brothers to join them. Lust nodded in greeting, eager to be on their way. Between the four of them they should be able to make some manner of progress.

She wondered if she was expected to make some sort of apology to Edward for last night but decided that since she hadn't actually been involved, there was no need to. He obviously hadn't suffered any serious lasting damage.

"I'm fine. Are we all ready, then?"

Scar, always tuned in more closely to the younger Elric, took note of the dampness around the boy's eyes but drew no attention to it. He also took note of Tsubaki and Korra taking off down the hall.

"Yes." They all knew what needed to be done, and there was no point in standing around. Scar began down the hall at a decent clip.
