Nightshift 26: F25

[lady-general.livejournal.com]

The man on the radio and the... Head Doctor, Celes supposed, had finished their tired arguments and left Celes considering her options. First and foremost, she would be waiting for Larsa and his companion. Still, her curiosity ran thickest when the man on the radio said something about a fire monster.

Asleep, in ice... Well, certainly she had an idea, and the blonde woman ran her fingers through her hair, considering her options. There was also this thin, green-tressed girl to think about. Hmm. The General settled herself at her desk, legs crossed at the ankles, flashlight up-ended on her desk for light.

Hopefully, the wait would not be long.

"Well... No, not really," Mion rubbed the back of her neck nervously. She thought on that for a moment and remembered her conversation with Rena during lunch. They hadn't gotten to meet up at all since that... "Well... There's someone I'd like to find, a friend of mine, but I have next to no idea where she could be."

Celes continued to look thoughtful. "She told you nothing of where she'd be tonight? Mm... that does complicate things. Did she give you any idea? A room number? Others she may be joining...?" Celes curled a blonde lock around her finger. Idle contemplation bothered her like nothing else. Especially when she felt so... useless.

Where were Lord Larsa and his friend?

"No... She was just telling me what this place's story was when lunch ended and a nurse split us up," explained Mion, rubbing her shoulder. Rena had been handling herself for three days without her or anyone from Hinamizawa though, if that part of what she had said was true. "I don't want to be a bother or anything, this old man could just wait it out here or something..."

"I know very little of it myself. I hope to find more about it tonight." Celes rubbed between her eyes, trying to think. She hardly knew the layout of this place, aside from the idea that one had to walk to the... cafeteria to get outside.

Hm. Celes realized that one of the words her companion had used were... odd. "Pardon my asking, but did you say 'this old man', Miss Mion?"

"Ah... Do you think your friend will mind if I tag along with you guys for a little...?" asked Mion nervously. She was worried about Rena, yes, but running off her own would probably be very stupid, espescially without knowing anything.

Mion blinked at the questioning of her odd habit and looked at Celes curiously. "Yeah, I did."

"I have no problems with it, Miss Mion, and young Lord Larsa seems to be of an especially friendly kind. I would think he would not mind." Celes replied in answer to her request. Besides, Mion was a child, at least to Celes's eyes. "My I ask why you refer to yourself as an 'old man'?" Was there a bit of magic or anatomy Celes was unaware of?

If it were so, well, that only posed more questions that the general had no desire to think upon.

"Alright, thanks. Oh, you don't have to call me Miss... Mion's fine," Mion blinked at the question. People were just used to the old man thing where she was from, so she really had never had to explain it. Or maybe they just accepted her as a weird girl, which was true in it's own right. Unable to give a good answer, Mion shrugged.
