Sepia didn't seem like her usual self. Rather, she seemed anxious and nervous for one reason or another. He was just about to ask her if anything was wrong, but she spouted out something nonsensical and ran past him. An alarm tripped in Shiro's head when she did, his nose catching a scent that triggered an instinctual fight-or-flight response in him. His eyes immediately narrowing into slits as he sniffed at the air again to make sure. [i]"Was...was that [u]blood[/u]?"[/i] Certainly, he knew that it was. Was she hurt, or was it blood that belonged to someone else? No, he was sure that that scent was mixed with her's. Sepia was hurt. Just after returning from her mission too. [i]"What's she doing here? She should go to the infirmary and seek care! What happened with her Aura?..."[/i] Shiro took a step, just about to take off after her to make sure she was okay. But as he reached out towards her back as she ran off, just about to call out to her. A voice from behind him whispered to him, uttering in hushed tones that perhaps that wasn't the best action to take. Shiro turned, looking behind and around himself. The voice sounded familiar, as if he had heard it before but...Where did it come from? His ears swiveled like mad to see if he could pinpoint their source, frantically trying see whose voice it was that spoke to him. But alas, he couldn't locate the culprit. Frowning, his ears flattened against his head as he remained rooted to the spot. Though he wanted nothing more to chase after his friend and make sure she was doing alright. His Scroll then vibrated twice, and he looked at his jean pockets. Slipping out his Scroll, he saw that he received two responses. One from Abel and the other from Sapphire, surprisingly. Looking up to see where it was that Sepia had gone, he sighed and resigned himself to just messing around on his Scroll for the time being.

"Sure, I'll send the address to you soon Abel. Sorry to hear about that Sapphire, I hope everything goes well. Gren, you still down or are you busy too?" [/quote] Shiro frowned, it was rather odd the response he got from Sapphire. Usually she would never give so much 'detail' in her replies. Truthfully, he expected a cold and curt 'No.' But, she [i]was[/i] the only member to have a bad experience in their most recent mission. Maybe she was still recovering somewhat. Even still, he didn't push the envelope and ask any further questions. Only honestly wishing the best in whatever she was currently going through. As he finished and sent his response, he went back into the web browser app and pulled up his recent search history of pizzerias to locate the address. After finding it, copying it, he pasted it into a second message and sent it to the group before locking and pocketing his Scroll. Looking up just in time to see a newly-changed Sepia returning. This time, he wasn't going to heed whatever voices' advice telling him to chill and hang back. Walking over to the rather depressed faunus girl, he placed his bandage-wrapped hand on her shoulder and leaned his face in close to lock in eye-contact. Concerned, he directly and bluntly asked her. [b]"Hey, boss. You doing okay? You're hurt, aren't you? You should go back to Beacon to get taken care of!"[/b] His tail swayed back and forth anxiously, out of his concern for his friend.
