"Huh? W-what's going on!?"
Malakai heard Valentine's panicked voice echo in his head. The chubby man had been startled awake by Malakai suddenly jolting up in the middle of the night.
'I hear sounds coming from outside…'
Malakai was already on his feet, gripping his scythe tightly.
"Ah, shit… not this again!" Valentine groaned. He still hadn't recovered from the Ironhold incident, where they'd spent an entire night crammed inside a ceiling.
Malakai didn't respond. His focus was already shifting. He reached for the side of the bed, grabbing his utility belt and strapping it on without hesitation.
"W-wait! What are you doing!?"
'What does it look like?' Malakai replied calmly.
"Don't tell me you plan on checking it out," Valentine said, his voice rising.
Silence.
"Don't!" he cried. "That's literally how every horror movie starts! It's a well-known fact, strange noise? You run!"
