The sound of Duo's jacket crashing in the brush makes him sigh. Really, Duo? You can't be any quieter? The thought fades quickly though when the familiar sound of footsteps tells him that the other is following after him. At the very least, it tells him that the guy isn't gonna get himself killed.

"Possibly. It's easier to avoid them than to face them head-on, though. If nothing else, wounding one enough to cause it to bleed may draw others toward it instead." Logical enough. Not that he knows whether or not it'll work, but that's never stopped him before. "However, killing one may only cause it to reappear elsewhere within this setting. ViViD is nothing if not irritating in that respect."
