[In more than one way, the dust is far too much like blood than Zero would care to admit, even when knowing otherwise. Still, that makes it all the more unsettling to see and touch and even taste. He still can feel it caked beneath his fingernails and upon his tongue.
Still, he's been venturing about, and possibly foolishly so with how he's been doing so while more or less alone. He should probably leave while he's ahead. The dust clings to his jumpsuit and to his otherwise light grey hair, and it's bad enough to know that cleaning up is bound to be a tedious process.
Upon seeing the boy, Zero will soon approach from the side, hoping he won't end up spooking him. They both should leave. He crouches down as well and extends a hand towards his, as if to grasp Eddie's hand to draw it away, but doesn't actually touch him. Zero uses his other hand to type up something to show him.]
That's probably not the best idea. Let's both get away from here, okay?
