Day 63: Bus 2 (Evening)
After finishing up his purchase and parting ways with Klavier, Harvey quickly realized that the wind was even worse now than it had been earlier in the day. The nurses even seemed hurried by it this time, probably because they were trying to make sure that every last patient was rounded up. The thought had never occurred to him, but had anyone ever tried to stay behind by hiding somewhere? Would that actually work? And would it be of any benefit? In the end, it would just get you stuck in a town filled with hungry zombies, so... maybe that was why he'd never heard of someone trying it before.
He headed back to the bus at a quick pace, his batteries in one hand and the other shielding his face from the wind as much as possible. While going back to that institute was depressing for any number of reasons, the thought of being able to sit in that warm bus, protected from the wind, didn't seem so bad.
The headlights made it easy to find the vehicles and Harvey let the nurses search him before quickly jumping on. So, his trip had earned him beer and batteries. What else could a guy really ask for? Except for maybe some more ammo for his gun, but he knew that was a pipe dream. Breaking into the sheriff's office during the day was probably impossible, and it would just land him into a world of trouble he he didn't want to deal with.
Harvey settled back into a seat, his gaze fixing on the sky as he watched the sun dip further and further down. He was hoping they made it back to the institute without any trouble this time. The last trip had been fine, but he wouldn't be surprised if Landel made a point to switch it up just to mess with them.
[For Allelujah.]

He stared back at her and replied, deadpan, "Around eight, I believe." He glanced down at the sweater, then added, "No. Ten. No fewer than ten. Have a seat."
She was pretty, and she carried herself like she was aware of it ("Lust"!), but for the time being, he found her conversation more interesting than her appearance. Not many people he'd met around the Institute regarded their situation with the same hint of sardonic humor that he'd observed in her even in their brief first meeting. But why? The easiest way to decide would be to talk to her more.
"Did they take away what you bought?" The curiosity in his tone was gentle, impersonal, even though two questions were folded into the one he had asked.

She supposed she could have tried to find something that would be hers, but that wasn't something she wished to take lightly. Humans were defined by their things, after all. The items she had found in that box weren't hers, even though she'd taken some. They were curiosities.
"I suppose I could have bought fleeting frivolities, but...that doesn't hold any appeal." She offered a small smile. "I'm more interested in returning to the Institute. Any important information is going to be there, not here."
