Day 27: Lunch
Renji wasn't so certain what this grilled cheese thing was all about, but he liked the sound of some soup. Even if it was strange western soup, well... there wasn't anything bad people could do to soup, in his experience. His good mood was starting to fray at the edges, a little, from the strain of dealing with the Ichimaru issue, and even more from what had been on the bulletin board earlier.
He'd never had difficulty simply writing something before. But...
He shook his head as he entered the line. He didn't want to think about it. He wanted to hold on to the tenuous equilibrium he'd managed to find.
Renji got himself a large bowl of soup, water, and even one of those sandwiches, just to try it. Old habit, recently awakened, had him over to one side of the cafeteria, where the fewest people possible would have the chance to pass behind him. He sat there with his back toward the wall and started eating.

And he didn't really want to tackle the thought of why he himself had been so ready to help the kid, or try telling others to copy him. That was one of the things he didn't understand about himself. This conversation was becoming... difficult. He half-heartedly stirred a spoon in the soup that was getting cold. If he'd had any appetite at all, it was gone now.
no subject
"May I ask what you did before you were brought here?" Haku was curious and, if this man was half as dangerous as he seemed, it would be good to know now.
no subject
It irked him that he hadn't tried escaping this shithole last night. That whole deviation with Richter and company had proven a complete waste of time. Although... if he hadn't gone with the others... there was no guessing at the outcome of their fight with that thing. But that wasn't the subject of discussion any more, and he waited on Haku's response, forcing some soup down even though it was cold. It still tasted infinitely better than slam food.
no subject
And he did really wish for Riddick to escape. Even if Haku didn't want to just yet, others could and should. He wanted to help them escape.
no subject
"You done some time?"
He wasn't sure how to respond to the second statement. He didn't want to worry the kid with his plans for the upcoming night, so he let his question lead the conversation elsewhere. He knew full well the warnings all over the bulletin board about not wandering around alone at night. Plus, he wasn't in top condition... at all. And he seriously doubted Haku was going anywhere tonight...
Some part of Riddick's mind was telling him this is dangerous. The last person he'd cared about... had died in his arms just over a day ago. Or well, that was the time-frame in his mind; who knew what had happened between his last memories of his home universe and waking up in this one.
no subject
"But I know what it's like to be hunted," he went on, still. "And what it's like to hunt."
no subject
"Not getting caught makes things a lot easier. That was one reason I was so popular... but a few got lucky. I'd like to know how this place did it. But tonight I have hunting of my own to do." He pushed his tray out of the way and sat back, feeling the ache in his ribs more now that the drugs were clearing.
no subject
"As much as escape is important, I don't think that going outside tonight is a good idea and that you might have more success if you rested a bit longer." He hoped Riddick wouldn't take that poorly.
no subject
He returned his hidden gaze to Haku. The concern was touching, but... "I don't keep well under key." And he knew that properly 'resting' would entail a lot of time. Time he didn't want to be spending under guard. Tonight was as good as any.

Haku was obviously hurting, no matter what the boy claimed about Landel's healing factors. Although Zabuza would surely seek the kid out as soon as night hit, Riddick figured he'd better ask something that had concerned him since the beginning of this conversation.
"You going to be alright tonight?" He had no idea where Haku's room was, and didn't feel like prying further. He remembered something about patient rooms being safe... from monsters, at least.
no subject
It didn't sound like Riddick would be taking the hint to stay in his own room though...
no subject
Riddick wasn't sure what it was, but he felt better talking to Haku. The feeling reminded him of someone else, but he chased that thought away again. He needed to keep focused if he was going to get out of here, and dwelling on the past, especially a past in another world, wasn't going to help. And although this was a rare conversation that had actually done him some good, the socialization aspect was wearing on him. He couldn't remember the last time he'd said this much to anyone within such a short amount of time.
no subject
"At least don't go out of your way to get hurt," Haku said finally, finishing up his food. With Zabuza-san watching, he had no choice.
