Scar simply turns to glare at Al, but quickly realizes that it will have little effect in the darkness that is now the hallway.

"I'm speaking with you later," he says firmly to Alphonse before turning back to Envy and now Greed.

"By leaving him alone in the basement?" Not even the locking part, but... the fact that he's alone down there...

Scar can begin to understand that Wrath needs some serious help, and that this could very well be the only way to get him better.

But he sure as shit doesn't trust Greed and Envy to do it responsibly.

What? What the heck did he do--

Oh.

Al shoots Envy a brief glare (it had to be him that snitched) before looking back to Scar. "He's not alone, we have some of our Pokemon down there to keep an eye on him! And we go down to try and talk to him, but...he's not listening, yet." It's hard to keep the hurt out of his voice; it had taken so long to get Wrath to trust him here, and now with this...Al's pretty sure Wrath won't ever think of him as anything other than an enemy, now.

Greed looks at Scar, his expression severe. He really has no interest in Scar getting involved in a problem entirely unique to the homunculi. No one else understands it. "We go down there with him. He's just alone with the Pokemon now there right now."

He waves a dismissive hand. "It's not like Pokemon are regular animals; and besides that, Pokemon are protective. They're not hurting him."

"So if you're done questioning us on a situation you don't know anything about, we can figure out what to do about the power. Where'd we last have the flashlights?"

After a pause, he continues, "...and someone get down there with Wrath."

He'd go himself, but out of all of them, Wrath would probably be the LEAST reassured by him.

Not only that, but the very reason that he knows Wrath shouldn't be alone in a pitch dark basement is the same one that he's extremely reluctant to go down himself until they find a light. Not even for the young homunculus' sake.

"Unless I have inundated you with a flood of inane text messages, I think my questioning is reasonable. I have attempted to reach out to the child in the past, though I suppose you would not believe that, given that I am considered more heartless monster than man in this house."

And that is all Scar intends to say about it. His tone isn't even defensive, he's just had enough of the comments. He shoves past everyone, trying to get back to his bag to find a light.
