Zach's mind was riddled with anxieties he didn't fully understand as usual lately as he slipped on his jacket and prepared to leave the alchemy labs. With a last look over the laboratory, he made sure everything was back in its proper place with a quick sweep of his eyes. He knew his grandmother would be pissed with him if it wasn't. Zach sighed and left the lab, shuffling his way towards the front door.

He couldn't pinpoint the reason for his uneasiness, the lost feelings, that came so often to him in the past few weeks. Something in his mind was becoming unraveled. Maybe because he wasn't sure what he was doing with his life or what he was supposed to do. It had been a while since he had had some real good guidance to keep him in line. In so many ways, he was still a child inside. That wasn't going to change overnight and with a handful of more responsibilities, and he knew that much. He wanted to grow up so much, but he hadn't felt as if he had really gotten very far in the last couple of months of his life. It felt like he was stuck in limbo.

When he stepped out of the alchemy labs, he lifted his head and nearly stumbled. He caught the door frame and used it for support to right his feet, eying the man not too far across from him who had decided to block the exit of the labs. Zach knew him. Not personally, but he'd had enough run-ins with the man to remember his face by now.

"Do you mind?" Zach asked, taking a step forward to indicate he was going somewhere. A part of him was creeped out that Dante was even here, standing there like he had been waiting for him to come out of the alchemy labs. Ever since Dante had made Adrienne uncomfortable, Zach wasn't so thankful for that time when Dante helped them out with Simon.
