[Considering who she was raised by, it's no wonder that she's a lot like Yuuki. Give it time and he'll see how Ai is like Kaname as well. Now is not that time though.

She will just have to rely on him to determine what is real and what isn't. Zero won't steer her into trouble.]

An hour, maybe. I was wandering about.

[Yes, at night. Most of the time she gets up when the sun sets and lingers long until it's risen to ensure the safety of all of the students. As of yet, Ai hasn't changed that schedule so she's awake all night long still. Good thing robots run most of the shops so she can come and go whenever.

She watches as the vines shift and twist, preferring that sight than to anything her own mind and fears could come up with. It isn't a new thing to see, though Ai also hasn't had much reason to see him work.]

I'm all right, I've been keeping things simple. [Striking enemies with her hands where she can and conserving her strength and energy.]

[His thoughts and feelings, new as she still is in his life, won't change even when her resemblance to that man does begin to show. Of course they wouldn't. He already has naturally taken to guiding her to the best of his ability, at least in this place. There's much he's yet to learn about her.

There's just a nod to her reply.]

A bit less than me, then.

[He doesn't need to continue speaking to insinuate that he's been assisting wherever possible. The scent of blood is hanging in the air, however at the least it's not completely saturating it.]

Good. Hopefully nothing more will be needed.

[ —his words briefly cut short when a group of three raptors head towards them. Zero pivots on his feet before cutting them down in one fluid strike with the gnarled metallic thorns of the spear, all within the blink of an eye. It's just enough to get all three. It's lucky that the creatures aren't much larger. He gives his arm a good shake to get rid of some of the dripping blood.]

. . .these things are relentless. . .

[It doesn't matter if the two of them don't have the memories of raising her, they are still essentially the same. That is something she's learning as she spends more time with them. Younger, less experienced in some areas but at the core they're the same.

She doesn't even need him to say anything because Ai knows that both of her parents would be out here - protecting others. Just like she was. At the first sign of trouble, both of them would spring into action.

The scent of blood is permeating the air but it's more monster blood than human or vampire.

At the moment, Ai knows that she's potentially dangerous. If she lashed out at something there is a chance that it's a hallucination and Ai could strike an innocent bystander instead.

Which is why when the raptors come, she simply turns so that she can keep that grip on his shirt but doesn't react. Zero can take care of it and he does.]

They're predators, hunting and killing is instinctual to them.

[Obviously they are. Zero can't say he ever in his life could have imagined he'd be fighting dinosaurs, but here he is.

In the moments after, though, he turns back to face her, frowning again. There's something about her that clearly reads that she's still not fully back to herself.]

. . . Let's go indoors for a little so you can relax.

[She could do with some quiet.

There's nothing to debate, should she want to. It's spoken in silence by the way his other hand moves to take the one she's holding onto his shirt with.]

[Fairly certain that's something they'd ever imagine twenty years later either. Really, who would imagine fighting dinosaurs?

It seems unfair. That he only just met her and yet is capable of reading her with one look. She blames the fact that she looks so much like Yuuki. Part of her wants to rebel for that fact alone but knows it wouldn't do much good. Going indoors won't help Ai escape her hallucinations but it's a good place to go to wait for the toxin to be eliminated.]

Fine. [She almost irritably huffs the word but refrains. Barely. It's clear from her face that she wanted to, though.

What she does do is try not to focus on his hand holding hers. If this is how it's going to be, it's going to be on her terms. So Ai takes the lead, trusting that Zero will ensure to be the judge on what's real and what's not.]

This way. [Deciding on a destination, Ai starts moving again.]

[Unfortunately for Ai, the behavior of hers is almost more endearing to Zero than it is otherwise. He doesn't let the bit of amusement show, but he definitely does feel it.

Initially he doesn't feel that it's for the best if she leads, however will trust her. He already is, of course, remaining alert of their surroundings, so it should be fine.

Although he does wonder where they're going, if not all the way back to where she and Yuuki are living.]

[Her path is fairly direct, without a whole lot of hesitation as Ai ignores the things she's fairly certain aren't real. As far as she knows only the wasps and raptors are things to be wary of so Ai steadily ignores anything else.

Zero wouldn't hesitate to point out if there was something real and dangerous about. Though she is also relying on her other senses since her eyes aren't completely reliable at the moment.

It doesn't take them long to reach their destination anyway - which just so happens to be a cafe. After a quick pause just inside the door to make sure the area is safe, Ai lets go of Zero's hand and moves to sit in one of the plush chairs.]

Do you think we'll have to eliminate all of the raptors and wasps or will they be sent back to sector six?

[They do seem to be the primary source of danger at the moment. Although as he's been out, now and again he felt overcome with fear. Unlike the creatures, though, differentiating those hot zones from everywhere else in the Dome seemed next to impossible. No way to detect them.

He lets out a silent breath upon entering the café, then moving to sit as well. For the moment he looks back outside.]

I'd like to hope for the latter. At least I think that's what happened the first time these showed up. I'm unsure how long it lasted.
