[ Everything about the mall is unsettling. The way it had risen over the horizon like some looming behemoth, the cars that sat in the parking lot untouched, the shadows that filled the space - all of culminated in a strange film on her skin akin to discomfort. But what really bothers her most is the silence.

She hadn't realized that was the case until about ten minutes ago - mostly because she had been with Alphinaud up until they agreed that splitting up was going to help them cover more ground. But if there's a little girl missing then that was the priority over anything she might have been feeling.

Being on alert and keeping an eye out for a lost girl has her on edge already - but the sudden loud pluck of strings on the speakers overhead has her immediately jumping and covering her ears. The music is only made louder due to the fact that Elezen ears are particularly sensitive. Embarrassingly for her she startles again when she turns realizing that the source of the sound is coming from a man frantically trying to turn down the music. ]

[ Immediately she's closing the space between them, hands still clamped over her ears and speaking louder than she probably needs to. ]

Are you purposefully trying to attract attention? Because I dare say that would draw out a missing girl and whatever creatures might be lurking here.
