If the doctor's voice hadn't woken her, the stomach pains would have seen to that. As much as she appreciated getting to know human sensations some were less welcome. Luckily, breakfast provided two means of escape, mental distraction as well as physical. Even if she wasn't paired with a suitable conversationalist at least the android would have something to eat. Pigs in a blanket was a strange name for food but Aigis had found the mix of savory and sweet to be to her tastes.

Sitting down with her tray at an empty table, the android started in on her food, ignoring the shuddering palpitations of her heart. Her thoughts trailed back to the night before, her conversation with Aidou and the strange peace that came from it. What had changed between them? It was a subtle difference in how they had handled themselves around each other the night before, so subtle yet even Aigis had picked up on the change.

She scratched at the rash on her arm idly, wondering if she should write a note to the vampire sometime today. The red splotches had stopped spreading now. If anything, they were even a little lighter than they had been the day before.
