Day 73: Library (2nd shift)
Don't let them snoop? If Lloyd didn't already know the secret the library held, that would have practically been asking him to poke around as much as his nurse would let him. But since he did know about the trick to the secret door, he settled instead for searching for Kratos or Castiel. If he didn't find one of them this shift, he'd have to think about putting up a note on the bulletin, but considering what he wanted to talk to them about, it would probably be better if he kept it off the board and spoke to them in person.
"Here, why don't you settle down with a nice book, Nigel?" his nurse encouraged him as she guided him toward a chair. "Poor dear. I noticed you didn't eat anything for breakfast. Maybe you just need to get your mind off of whatever's tying your stomach in knots."
Lloyd made a face at that comment, unable to hold himself in check. "Maybe if the doctors gave me my Key Crest back it wouldn't be a problem."
His nurse sighed, shaking her head. "I thought you were making more progress than that, Nigel. Here," she said, handing him a book. "I'm sure a good book will help."
Lloyd grumbled, but accepted the book anyway, albeit reluctantly. He should have known better than to expect anything from his nurse. Rather than cracking the book open, though, Lloyd set it in his lap and watched the room. Surely one of his companions would come in soon...
[For Castiel.]

"Or he could send in others to do it." Landel was too important a man to actually be doing his own dirty work. It hardly mattered, who had been privy to whatever private conversations had led to their specific capture. It only mattered that someone had been there.
He scowled as his nurse approached him, encouraging him to get moving to lunch.
"I'll speak with you later, then."

Aguilar was no secret, after all. If not Landel leading the charge, Aguilar would be, for better or worse. A military unit couldn't operate on its own, either; someone had to be overseeing both Landel and Aguilar in some way.
The Institute's complicated history never got any easier to work through.
She would have continued if not for the nurse's interruption. After glancing between the nurse and Scar, she got up from her chair at the same time.
"Yes, let's check in later. Um, have a good day if you can..."
