[Of course Rin had heard, too, though he was a little slower to get down the stairs than Maka. He had been napping after his early-morning shift ended at the host club, curled up with his head on her lap while she read, but the sounds from downstairs reached his sensitive ears and jolted him out of a dreaming state quickly. Maka took off before him, and he stumbled after a minute later, still groggy and rubbing sleep from his eyes.
He was worried, even if his slower steps didn't quite show it. Kid had sounded absolutely frantic, like Rin had at the start of the curse when he woke up to find his vision compromised by an ability he didn't know how to shut off. Though there was something else about Kid's tone Rin picked up even from the second floor - disgust, disbelief, all with so much vehement emotion and force behind it that was impossible to ignore. Kid could be over-dramatic, but whatever was going on sounded pretty damn genuine.
With Maka ahead of him, she got to Kid first, leaving Rin to trail in behind scratching his messy hair and looking down at Kid with obvious concern as he tried to wake up enough to register more than 'something is wrong'. He looked to Liz for answers, though, thinking Kid might not be in any state to answer himself.]
