Night 64: Main Hallway, 1-Center

She paused again by the Sun Room, probing the darkness. There were no flashlights around to break up the shadows, and no natural light to guide her eyes. After all her many nights moving around the building without her own flashlight she’d become more than adept at navigating in total darkness, but caution still pricked at the fine hairs on the nape of her neck every time she reached an area that was not heavily populated with foot traffic.

If Landel had half a mind to prevent them from reaching the secret in the Medical Wing, now would be the time for him to act. Tsubaki couldn’t trust that he hadn’t heard I.R.I.S.’ relay, if the intercom’s abrupt cut-off had been any indication.

As she passed the doors leading to the entryway, she once again felt her eyes wandering toward them. Would what had happened there happen again? To someone she knew next time?

Would someone be injured because of the transformed prisoner?

Keep going, the assassin in her said. No time for doubts.

Well, that had been awkward. Eugene kept sneaking looks at Rapunzel's dagger--really, her mother's dagger, and wondering how she'd managed to get her hands on it. She looked so out of place with it.

He followed Kratos out into the main hallway, watching warily for the 'monsters' that he'd been told to look out for. He would mind hefting a dagger himself.

Or a frying pan.

[freewill]

In Castiel's opinion, that knife was likely to do Rapunzel much better than the frying pan, but he realized this wasn't a topic on which he should argue. His guess was that Flynn had brought that up to draw their attention away from the knife itself, as there was clearly some sort of story there.

It was a relief that they decided to leave it for another time, however, as they were on a time limit and couldn't afford to waste any of it with ancillary conversations.

As they walked, nearing closer to the medical wing, Castiel glanced back at Rapunzel, still curious to know if she had really let someone climb up a tower with her hair as a rope. But instead of saying anything about that, Castiel asked another question. "You said you have friends who are sick," he remarked. "How many people do you know of who are suffering from the illness?" He wanted to get an idea of how widespread this affliction was.

Kratos merely raised an eyebrow before turning around and continuing on. Eugene hadn't done the greatest job at changing the subject, but it was easy to understand his intention: the issue at stake was more between him and Rapunzel, and they were going to address it between themselves later.

Frankly, he was thankful that they hadn't stopped to resolve it.
