[font=trebuchet ms]High-pitched screaming was one of the easiest ways to send Straw into full alert mode. The fact that the voice sounded like Sanzu's was even worse. There was no positive reason for Sanzu to be screaming at the top of her lungs, and so Straw immediately dropped the book she had been holding and made a beeline for the source of the noise.
Upon arriving at the broken chair, Straw scanned the scene. Sanzu was there, with no apparent injuries, and no one else was around. Still, Sanzu was in obvious discomfort, crying and curled up in what was likely an effort at self-defense- Straw could form a picture in her mind of what was going on, and the sensations she associated with these symptoms were extremely unpleasant. Poor kid. "Hey," Straw murmured lowly, reaching out a paw to gently tap Sanzu's shoulder.
Her paw passed right through the scales, like nothing was there.
Straw tensed up, her eyes blinking in confusion. Was she seeing things? Granted, she would be the first to admit she had mental issues, but it had never manifested like this before. Waving her paw through the scales, she tilted her head. "Uh..." she uttered, her tail twitching. Had Sanzu just turned into a ghost? There was no way for that to have happened since the last time Straw had seen her...
"Tena," she called out, glancing over her shoulder. "Sanzu's... uh... she's okay, physically, but something's weird." Maybe Tena would know, and if not, she could think of someone who would know. Turning back to Sanzu, Straw whispered, "It'll be okay. We'll fix this."
