[i]It didn't have any scent?[/i] Leon bit down on the inside of his cheek, something he did when he felt particularly stressed, biting unusually hard, a sharp pain spiking through his head, followed by the warm thick liquid that tasted like iron. He closed his eyes tightly in annoyance, turning his head to spit the blood into the river, his mutation already patching up the latest wound. "Sorry, my manners escape me in these situations..." Leon said quietly, embarrassed at his current form, "So you couldn't smell it." Leon muttered an obscenity, "I don't want to make this a big deal or anything, but it's definitely not something to take lightly. I know it was a human. My mutation let me see that it had a mutation, but I couldn't pry beyond its existence. The fact that it's so good at hiding from us is the thing that really scares me." Leon paused, furrowing his brow, "And it let us know that it was around us..." Leon quit speaking when Tollnak stepped over, suddenly remembering that Toll was still right by them.

"Yeah Toll, don't worry about it. It's all good," Leon started, doubling back, "Well, sort of. We were being watched earlier by someone with a mutation that makes them almost completely undetectable. I'm a little perturbed, I'm not gonna lie." When Toll mentioned Keita, Leon closed the distance, his voice becoming a whisper, just barely audible, "Please, don't do that to me." He stepped back, his eyes hard, relaxing quickly as he took a second step back. Leon couldn't be around Keita. Not now, not for awhile. Leon was finally getting over the incident where he was slashed to ribbons. Seeing Keita brought back his past and made that day all too real once more. "If you wanna head back, by all means." Leon said to Toll, looking briefly to Aeria. He looked past Toll, "Keita, head back to the dorm with Tollnak here." Leon ran his hand through is hair, "I'm going to stay here for awhile. I need to think." His hand slid into his pocket and he took his first step away from the group. He looked from Tollnak to Aeria, giving a cursory glance to Keita before he turned away from the three of them.

Leon walked along the bank of the river, humming to himself an old hymn his mother would sing to him as a child, his mind slowly retracing the day, trying to recall if there was any reason in particular moment when the unknown began to follow them. The only moment he could imagine that their stalker would have begun to follow them was that display outside of Hjem. Beyond that, what would attract anyone to them? Though, as Leon noticed from the mutants they've been running into all day, Mutants seemed to be unconsciously drawn to mutants. Would that have really been enough to drag anyone to them? Leon walked across the small bridge leading to the isolated piece of land in the corner of the park, taking a seat against the lone tree. His head leaned back against the rough and slowly his eyes closed, his mind coming to a slow, ideas slowly beginning to escape him.
