Night 67: Main Hallway, 1-East

It seemed that they really were the first pair of people heading out this way, if the silence in this part of the hall was anything to judge by. Castiel could hear some voices behind them, so there was a chance that other patients would catch up with them soon.

That was fine. With any luck, there would be enough flowers to go around. And if something did end up attacking them, it would be better to have back-up.

As he tried to force his wounded body closer to the next hall they'd need to take to reach the greenhouse yard, Castiel glanced over at Lust. "How about you?" he asked. "Who are you doing this for?" He found it hard to believe that she was coming out of the goodness of her artificial heart.

There could be all kinds of reasons to explain the lack of patients that were around, but Guy was relieved when they moved away from that subject. After all, dwelling on it would only put them all on edge, and it was better that they stayed calm considering that there might be some killer on the loose.

It was no surprise that Anise wanted to know about how Claude and Luke had stolen that flower; Guy had already asked, after all. It was also no surprise that Luke was the one to jump in and explain, all while looking very proud of himself.

Guy just sighed and shook his head. "Well, it's a good thing you two didn't get caught." Not that Guy imagined the nurses would have reacted that badly, but it was better not to stand out to the staff.

He glanced from Claude to Anise as they continued down the hall. "Both of your rashes are continuing to fade, right?" He wanted to keep an eye on their conditions, just in case things didn't go the way they were supposed to.

Claude's boyish grin returned when Luke explained their little plan in the greenhouse. Well, admittedly, it had all been Luke's idea to start with, but Claude's fingers were dexterous enough to neatly pull what they needed without tearing up the roots or causing a commotion.

Hopefully they could put those skills to good use tonight, too. Granted, they had monsters instead of nurses to watch for this time, but with four people instead of two, that would probably still be a piece of cake.

When Guy asked his question, Claude glanced over at his friend before bringing his arm into the light of his hardhat. The markings were even lighter than when he'd first met up with Guy. "Sure looks that way," he answered as they turned into the next hall.
