DAY 26: Men's Showers (Second Shift)

Gluttony didn't want to leave his Lust, not after he'd just found her!  But the mean tasty nurses said he had to.  "You can't join her in the women's showers" was a bad excuse.  He didn't like the mean tasty nurses.  Maybe Lust would let him eat them later.  Still, he knew he would see his Lust again, and that was good.  He liked Lust.  She was good and beautiful and smart and kind.  Why did they have to take him away from his Lust?

Still, he would see her again.  And she would tell him it was okay to eat the tasty nurses, and that would be good.  His new friend liked eating people, too.  That made him happy to find a friend who shared a love for eating people.  Today was a very good day.

As he entered the showers, he stood under a shower head and opened his mouth wide to drink up the water.  It wasn't as good as eating people, or eating waffles that didn't scream when he bit into them so weren't nearly as good as eating people, but it was still swallowing something, and that made him feel better.

"Hnn." Aya glanced at his teammate from the corner of his eye, wondering what had happened to him after Aya had left. "You staying out of fights?" The quirk on the corners of his mouth was not quite visible as the dry humor in the tone of his voice. "I suppose I should now ask who are you and what have you done to Ken."

Ken looked back at Aya. "Laugh all you want." He smirked. "I've mellowed in my old age. Or something."

"That and fighting with guys who are massively bigger than me?" Ken indicated Recluse, standing apart from the others, with a jerk of his head. The other man had nearly a foot of height on Ken, and quite a bit more muscle to top it off. "Getting my ass kicked isn't exactly my idea of fun. I like to get myself into fights I stand a chance of winning, thanks."

"Old age," Aya muttered as he followed Ken's gaze at the other man and shook his head a little. Whatever it was, obviously it kept Ken out of getting himself killed better than before, which was enough to Aya.

He looked back at Ken, arching his brows in question. "How old exactly?" He still had not figured out how much from Aya's future Ken came.

"Twenty-three. Am I still younger than you?" Ken felt very strange asking that question, but considering Omi's age compared to the three of them, it was valid. Which made the asking of it even stranger.

"By a year," Aya answered almost softly. "So our time lines match quite well." Even if it was unexpected, Aya felt relieved, and yet not. There was the matter of Ken mentioning that he had been looking for Aya, who remembered quite vividly being stabbed just before waking up here. Perhaps Ken would never see him again if-- when they would get back home from here.

He frowned, looking ahead again as he quickly finished washing up, fingers skirting quickly over the taped bandages at his side. "Ready to go?" he asked from Ken as he turned off the shower.

Ken nodded and turned off his own shower, squeezing some of the excess water from his hair as he moved toward the towels and his abandoned clothing. He took notice quickly of the bandages on Aya's torso, he'd ask about that later.

For now, he just dried himself off, and as usual ignored his scars as he pulled clothing back on. Most of them he couldn't even remember getting, but the burn scars weren't some of them.
