Day 27: Breakfast
Day came too soon.
Sora hadn't been able to find Rena, had instead been forced to crumple onto the grass of the recreational field and bleed all over himself, and hadn't even accomplished what he'd been sent out to do. What he'd been entrusted to do. He didn't know how he was going to be able to face Renji and the others, but he also knew he wasn't going to hide from them, either. That would just be low, after all, and he was ready to face up to the consequences.
He didn't try to make excuses for himself. Even though there had been a Special Counseling patient, they had managed to take her down by sheer numbers. The fact that he hadn't seen any sign of Rena was what had him the most worried. He hoped he could find her today.
The boy laid in his bed for a good while that morning before his nurse finally came in to collect him. She clucked over the bandages wrapped tightly around his chest and leg, and asked him if he was okay to walk.
Once Sora assured her he was fine (he didn't really want to use crutches, as that would just attract attention to himself, and he didn't need others worrying over him), they made their way to the cafeteria. Sora yawned and winced against the bright light of morning - it seemed even earlier than usual, and he realized why when they entered the cafeteria and found it empty.
The boy shuffled over to grab a chocolate chip pancake, a bowl of cereal, and a glass of milk (good for the bones, or so his mom had always told him) before settling at a table. He kept an eye on the door, hoping he would see Rena walking in soon.

"Alec Doyle... huh? Weird name," Mion looked at her pancakes for a moment, then back at Larsa. "So... he pretended to be a patient? Why?"
no subject
"He chose to appear on the same day I've arrived. And so with other matters I was forced to attend, along with my lack of knowledge of the Institute, I was unable to bring my full attention to it. Yet... though I know not of the finer details, my assumption is that he had done so to, well, throw the other man off his high horse, really."
Larsa sighed then, slumping onto the table in a very uncharacteristic manner.
"Trust may be another, a type of reassurance to show us that he is not pulling us along by a short leash. I am still wary of it myself, and yet our options are already slim as it is."
no subject
Mion decided that, judging by Larsa's expression, he probably wasn't liking this conversation too much... or something along those lines. In any case, he'd given her as much information as he had, from the sounds of it, and that was really all she could ask for.
She took another bite of breakfast and then drank some orange juice, before considering her next words. Looking at Larsa slumped on the table, she remembered something. "Oh yeah.. That guy you were with last night, is he like, your bodyguard?"
no subject
He perked up at her next question, not having expected something like that to appear in their conversation. And yet the child did not mind to share the blond's noble acts, regardless of what the man has done for the duration of his life.
"Yes. Because my family are the representatives of our country, we have appointed an elite group sworn to protect us whilst leading the Archadian Army to police those sought fit to do harm to our people. Gabr... Noah, had been given the task to be my personal guardian since the day of my birth."
Larsa smiled sheepishly.
"However, I will be the first to admit that I've not made his job any easier." After all, traveling across half the span of Ivalice with no one else but a band of mismatched insurgents hardly compared to staying within the decadent halls of the Palace. The child did not speak of the matter of which told of his guardian's demise and mysterious revival, instead glancing off towards the sound of the intercom.
"It was a pleasure to speak with you again. If you feel the need to reach me, then you may do so on the bulletin." And with one last smile he was escorted away by his nurse.
