"Nothing left to save? We already knew that! There should be nothing left of you!" Hunter exclaimed, still held aloft by Seth in his distraction.
The man talking made Seth remember his situation and, after being deposited on the ground once more, Hunter grabbed Woe by the shoulders and shook him roughly. He was shoving Woe around as he thoroughly and carelessly searched the boy for any sign of damage or the crystals that should have replaced his being.
The fact that if he found what he was looking for and accidentally touched them would spell his death was completely secondary to solving this impossible mystery. Yet no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find anything.
Eventually Woe had to push him away, as Hunter muttered to himself,
"How did you... It shouldn't be possible. No mutation has survived direct contact... so how..."
