"Good evening." Facilier didn't even bother to look up from his book as he heard Hakkai shuffle into the room. He had hoped he could cut out the pages he needed before his roommate arrived, but had to hold back on that for now as to not rouse any suspicions from the bespectacled youth.
Speaking of which, Mr. Hakkai did sound more tired than usual tonight, as Facilier heard the telltale sounds of a chair being tiredly dragged back and the creaking of the desk being leaned on. Frowning a little, Facilier shifted his purple eyes to the side to catch a glance at his roommate. He frowned. For some odd reason Hakkai's arm was all red and blotchy--
Oh no... Oh no, no, no, no, no....!
Facilier jerked his head away from the book and stared at his roommate with barely repressed horror. Mr. Hakkai! He was... He was...
MERDE...!
It was a good thing Hakkai had his face covered, as Facilier barely had time to cover up his shocked expression and ease his panicked posture. He just couldn't believe it! He was trapped in the same room with an infected patient who could suddenly transform into a monster any moment now! Just when Facilier finally had some confidence in his power and survival here ever since he made that deal with Landel, this had to happen! Was this some cruel joke of the Head Doctor? How was he going to deal with this?!
Stay calm now... It was obvious that Hakkai wasn't too happy about this infection either and wasn't dangerous yet. Although, Facilier didn't know what was worse, transforming into a monster or being eaten by one. He still hadn't forgotten those hungry armless creatures with more mouth than body! The Bokor had to think fast. He had no idea how to remove this hex of Landel's yet, and he barely had any supplies to make even the measliest of charms! He had no chance of curing Hakkai, and little idea on how to defend himself if the lad did change!
On the other hand, Facilier could kill Hakkai now before he transformed. But the last thing Facilier needed was to get his hands dirty without any sort of plan to back him up if others found out. He had to remain on "good terms" with both Landel and his fellow prisoners after all. What to do, what to do...
Finally, Facilier went for the warily "compassionate" route. He could still salvage some use of Hakkai before taking him out. "Mr. Hakkai?" he said carefully, putting on his best concerned expression. "Is there something wrong?"
