Night 67: Main Hallway, 1-West

[ofthemotions]

[from here --and waiting for Ryusei!]

There still wasn't a lot of people in the halls, and it was starting to make him nervous. Maybe he should try to find someone to hang out with tonight. Snow and Celty had insisted on how Mikado shouldn't be alone at night--it wouldn't hurt to take their advice. But it would be strange to just go up to someone and ask to walk around with them.

...Wouldn't it?

He made a face, and paused in the hall, looking around. He was more aware of the bandages covering his eye in the dim, and even wearing his own clothes didn't negate that uncomfortability. He was suddenly starting to think he should have just stayed inside.

Lust glanced over her shoulder with a small sigh. Mostly for herself.

"I know. I'm afraid my attention drifts when my mind's distracted." Which it was so very often lately. Too often, and by far too many different subjects. Most of them men, terribly different men and for terribly different reasons. This whole mad venture tonight...

Again, she found herself threatened with becoming lost in her own thoughts. It was maddening, the way a simple thought could call forth such strong emotions. But she set it aside as best she could, keeping her pace slow and easy for Castiel to keep up with. She didn't mind - they were certainly less likely to be taken by surprise, this way. Better than to be rushing, spurred on by emotion and ignoring obvious signs of danger...

"Is there anyone in particular you're looking to cure?"

Castiel could relate to Lust's problem. It seemed that ever since waking up here, his mind was more prone to distraction. His thoughts and concerns would take him in a completely different direction than the one intended, and he was one who despised losing his focus.

Unfortunately, the entire experience of being here was more or less one large example of that, and there was little he could do about it.

Lust managed to walk slowly for his benefit, and Castiel did a decent job of keeping up as he followed her down the hall. Her question wasn't a surprising one, but he made sure to pull up next to her before he answered.
