*Kou, meanwhile, wasn't having much luck either. His senses were telling him what he needed to know, long as he kept himself focused. The burning scent that hung around the alleyway wasn't natural, and he tried hard to figure out the source of it.
But the best he could find were scratches in the ground. A few of them looked like they were made by a knife, but others looked like an animal scratched into it, instead. What type of animal though, he couldn't begin to tell.
He shook his head. Ever since the first burning sensation this time around, he's been attempting to track down what this was, even long after the trail had gone cold. And sadly, this one looked to be going cold too... But at least out of both times, they've both led him to an alleyway, and both times, there was always that scent in the air like something had been incinerated.
Least there was consistency. He straightened up the mask that covered the lower half of his face, before he heard a shout.
"Hey! Stop right there!"
He turned and looked, seeing Shian, one of the Signers, standing at the entryway of the alley, and looking aggravated.

Oh, great, just what he needed today.*
