Alphonse was wandering the halls, silently, keeping to himself for now. He'd come back in from the outside already, separating from Red, even if only temporarily. As it was, he was trying to get a better look around - clutching the stuffed cat close to his chest, glad for the temporary vision. It was incredibly awkward, still, but he was starting to get used to the slow, sluggish movement it caused, having part of his soul attached to a stuffed animal, and depth perception was a little off, now, too...but really, it was by far favourable to the complete darkness that he had before, without it.

He paused when he heard footsteps - there was no reason to distrust it, but he turned anyway, to see who it was. He didn't recognize the person, there, but...

"Who's there?" he asked, almost as if he couldn't see at all, still.

Lorenzo gave the cat he was carrying a quick look, quirking a brow before disregarded it. He supposed it wasn't that strange, children (especially younger ones) often held such things for comfort, if nothing more. "Lorenzo," was all he said at first as he moved closer to the boy, getting a better look at him...he didn't look to have sustained any further injuries. Good. That meant he'd at least been taking care of himself. "You shouldn't run off like that."

So that was Lorenzo

Lorenzo watched as Alphonse pulled the cat closer, but said nothing in regards to it. He was equally silent as the boy moved closer, happy enough to (mostly) close the gap between them himself. He let out a tired, but not quite frustrated sigh in response to the apology, "It's fine." His wandering off had been inevitable, he supposed. Sitting in a room doing nothing was hardly entertaining and the hauntings were light enough to allow some freedom, at least for the moment. At least he had managed to find him. That meant there was only Red left to hunt down

Alphonse was silent a little bit more, quietly accepting the reassurance that it was fine. He spoke up, again, though, when he was asked about the cat. Judging by the expression and...the way the man, he didn't suppose he cared that much, but Alphonse beamed anyway, holding it up a little, toward Lorenzo, as if allowing him to get a better look. If Lorenzo did look, there was a seal, that appeared to be made of dried blood, on the back of it's neck, only partially obscured by the ribbon it wore.

"In one of the bedrooms," he explained, "A boy named Red and a, um...P-Pokemon named Mew helped me get it." Lorenzo would probably wonder why he thought, but at least for now there were no immediate translation issues - though Alphonse still wondered if 'Pokemon' was a word in their language for something completely different.
