His throat burned from swallowing those things down, but he tried to ignore it as much as possible. If it was going to help, then he had to try, right? It seemed a bit stupid to just pick something at random, but he couldn't exactly bear his heart out to Sechs when it seemed he had his own problems. Besides, he thought, Sechs needed more attention than Ritsuka did right now. He coughed once as he caught up to his companion, just barely getting the end of that question.

He stopped then, staring up at the older man. He was...going to stick around and help? That was a bit unexpected. He'd said as much earlier, but Ritsuka hadn't actually thought a stranger would go to such lengths for someone he barely knew. That made Ritsuka respect him a little more and he gave Sechs a small smile.

"Ah...Right, um..." But back to the question at hand? No, actually, he didn't have much of an idea. He could have sworn they'd be in the infirmary, but if not there then where? The storage closets? The operating rooms? He stopped, adjusting his backpack as he thumped a fist lightly against his chest. There. The last of the pills went down. "If not in the infirmary, I guess checking their storage area would be best?"

Not that he had a concrete idea of where to look for that... Ritsuka swung his flashlight up the hall and frowned. "I didn't see anything back the way we came, so how about going up that way?"
