Night 66: Main Hallway, 2-West
[From here]
Okay, she was upstairs, that meant the lab was, um...this way. Yes.
She wondered if she could have more of a look around if there was time, but thought better of it. Not when she was alone, not when she needed to be avoiding creatures, and not when she needed to save her magic...but if her potion making worked, she'd have to be especially sparing with her defensive magic, which meant picking up the slack, somehow. There was no guarantee that tonight wouldn't mark a trend, that she wouldn't find herself alone, again. She'd have to improvise. Maybe there were other things out there to find. Things she could use.
Her lip found its way in between her teeth. Did she want to have to come out again? She was already here. What to do?
Flora took a step to where she. Alright, just a quick look around. She hurried along, but kept a careful lookout her surroundings and whatever might come at her. It wasn't hard to, she was more than a little alert from being so on edge.

This trip was going pretty well so far, at least. They'd reached the second floor in much less time than before, clearing the lower floor hallways and the stairwell without running into any trouble. Once again, there seemed to be no one up here. The same advantages and disadvantages applied here as they had the night before. At least this time they wouldn't have to stop for anything, unless some creature decided to say hello... (And rest assured, Zero had a little 'friend' to return the greeting with if that happened.)
Moving on. They were halfway to the closet now. The once-Reploid walked silently, only briefly pausing at one point to look back and check on his companions. And all the while, he failed to notice the stares they were giving him for his coat, as he was too focused on moving the group ahead as quickly and quietly as possible. Even if he did notice, why should he care? It wasn't like he was making a fashion statement, nor did he particularly like or dislike the color pink for any reason. (He was not Elpizo, thank you very much.) It was merely a symbol; a reminder of something else to fight for. A reminder that that 'something else' might very well be in real danger right now.
It was something to approach his allies about later, when they weren't running around in the darkness looking for weapons.

A thought that he still wasn't wild about, even with the extra time to get used to it. Harpuia was not the sort of person who enjoyed accepting outside help. Taking control had always come naturally to him, but handing it over... not so much. At least Zero wasn't rubbing it in his face; in that regard, he was actually a little grateful for the silence.
