Of all the prisoners who could have sat down and tried to strike up conversation, it was very fortunately X - someone Zero liked and was relieved to see in one piece - who ended up actually doing so. He was considering himself lucky for that. However--
"Oh, it's your friend Alex!" the nurse chimed in before Zero could say a word. "Why don't you two have a nice breakfast together?"
...That's what I'm going to do if you'll just be quiet, he wanted to say, but he held his tongue; no need to give her another reason to keep yapping. Instead, he ignored her by turning his full attention to X. (Of course, the irritation his expression had held while interacting with the nurse was noticeably absent now.)
"X. Are you okay?" The younger former Reploid seemed to be in good health, but looks could be deceiving. What had happened to him last night, while Zero had been off getting himself injured in a foolish way? Hopefully X hadn't put himself into any dangerous situations...
