After glancing around at the fearful first-rankers in and around the Institute, Erik slowly and quietly strolled his way outside, smirking a little at the fearful faces around him.
Alice, who was still comfortably clutching his back like a koala, looked around smugly. She enjoyed the scared glances thrown in their direction. They may not technically be aimed at her, but it still felt good to see these people who had imprisoned her so afraid.
The first-rank guards and scientists in their way quickly made a path for the pair, afraid to catch the werewolf's wrath.
"You know, you don't have to keep clutching my back. It was mostly to make the fighting easier," he softly suggested to Alice by turning his head slightly.
Alice pouted in response and tightened her arms and legs. "No! I like it here."
"As you wish then," Erik chuckled with amusement. It's not like it was an inconvenience for him.
