**Pewter City - Outside**<br/><br/>Their was a moment of tension as he saw the man with the tail approach them. The tail is actually the first thing Alphonse noticed when he detected that the man/thing was approaching them. He kept a hand on one of his sheathed Scyther claws, but did not draw it yet. As it came closer and began to speak, he kept a close eye on it. The earlier attack has seen to Al staying in a state of heightened alert (and he was already quite alert normally).<br/><br/>He remains quiet as they talk, his eyes casually drifting around their surroundings. He had felt something prickling at his mind; something was wrong. They were being watched, or followed. Perhaps it was nerves; perhaps it was this thing with a tail, whose voice changed. "Hmm..." He made a quiet, nearly inaudible sound of displeasure, though it did not seem directed at any one in particular.
