Duncan stopped when the girl who had apparently been trying to keep up with him had to stop, and turned round to wait, though was tense and his legs were itching to run back to the school at a moment's notice. That's when another girl joined them, and Duncan turned round and start to trot to the school at a much more manageable pace, though he had to put effort into forcing himself not to bolt. As he walked, he listened to the conversation happening behind him. One thing in particular alarmed him; something he hadn't known until now. He heard the scream, and he'd seen the large hoofprints, but he didn't know about a body. This was alarming. That meant that...that somebody had been killed. Duncan felt a knot tighten in his stomach and began to feel queasy. The life of a teenager like him had been lost. Gone. Dead. This time the distress in his voice was a lot stronger.

Using the Crystal Ball in her classroom, Ms. Mako was determining that all the students were either in the safe confines of the walls, heading back to the safe confines of the walls, or in the safe company of teachers, who were escorting them back to the safe confines of the walls. Mako had determined earlier that a tannoy would not have helped the issue any, so while Aster went around reassuring students, Mako was going to use her seeing abilities to determine who needed her attention and deal with them individually.

She spotted one student who was outside and didn't have intention of going inside. She was in the school courtyard, however, so she might be overlooked by other teachers. Mako, however, would feel much better if all students had a roof over their heads. The teachers can guard the entrances and exits. They can't guard the sky.

The Witch made her way over to the courtyard, and instantly saw the fear on the face of the elf student who was currently residing in the corner. Elves have good hearing. Maybe she was listening to something. The lack of focusing on any one object with her eyes was a giveaway that it was nothing that she could see. Akane approached closer and mimed a 'take your earplugs out' gesture.

[color=d1aaf7]"What are you doing out here, Miss? And what are you listening to that's gotten you so frieghtened?"[/color] she asked in a reassuring voice. Tiina, however, may have heard rumors about Ms. Mako, the teacher who is a Witch, and any attempts to reassure that came from her would be in vain.
