He had trailed behind the group ever since their departure from Inferni. Like the others, Hybrid had worked to rid himself of his scent. Unlike Ezekiel or anyone here, he bore the scent of a longtime member and someone who had been in both incarnations of Inferni. While it wasn’t detectable, since such a political thing had no smell, he still had trouble finding ways to mask it. He went through rivers and rubbed his fur on the different bushes and plants he passed. But still, even if he didn’t smell like Inferni, his appearance alone betrayed his origins.
He waited patiently when Ezekiel sent the other two out for reconnaissance. There, he wondered if he could try to execute the plan in which Talitha had failed. But if Sa’adat and Halo returned to see Ezekiel dead and Hybrid alive and bloody, they would assume the worst: the truth.
So, Hybrid stayed silent and motionless as they waited. Ezekiel did not speak to him and so he did not return with any words of his own. He had no need.
When the two others returned, Ezekiel issued a new order. Hybrid nodded and then set out slowly trailing after Halo. He figured that if the other two were moving as a pair, he could at least shadow Halo to keep an eye out. If they were lucky, he might spot someone to remove.
