The main corridor was dark, and no sounds came from the sun room, even when Taura pressed an ear to the doors. That didn't mean much, but it gave her something to do while she waited. Then she switched to jogging back and forth along the length of it. Staying in one place had proved more dangerous than making a visible target of herself; she didn't like waiting.

Eh? Found? Yeah!" Goku shouted eagerly. This night was starting to finally look up, and all he had to do was give out one radio--

"Ugggh, I can't right now! I hafta keep givin' these out." Impulsive or not, the young boy had made a promise to help everyone he could within the institute. If he wated all his time out here, the monkey child wouldn't be any closer to his goal. "Tomorrow," he promised. "We can meet up tomorrow night!" Then they could tell him all about what they found.

"Yeah," Taura breathed, her eyes lighting up. "I'll meet you right here." I, not we -- she wasn't sure coming back from the dead would help Rita's patience with the boy, but she liked him. "Make sure to keep a radio for yourself, too." She stretched out a hand, and when he didn't flinch away, ruffled his hair.
