Day 27: Lunch

[norainu]

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.

"Suppose there're a select few," Reno replied, choosing not to elaborate. It wasn't important and he wasn't about to name exactly who it was he actually gave a damn about. Granted, ever since he arrived here, that list had actually expanded a bit to include an extra few people.

He regarded Yuber for a moment. "Personally, there're more than enough explosions here," he said, "but yeah. Back home, kinda. Gets fucking dull."

There were only so many hours he could booze away, after all. He wasn't sadistic enough to say he missed killing people, but it was impossible to deny that he missed the rush that came with it.

He smiled openly at Reno’s response, and found no surprise in their reply. He’d allied himself to too many born into Chaos to not know how their minds worked, and it was one of the most reliable consistencies between them all.

“All times of peace end eventually as Chaos will ultimately return.” Yuber murmured with a smile, although his tone was showing the more ancient side of his personality. “It is the basic fact of life that such things will occur, as without Chaos… there would be no evolution and things would remain stagnant and unchanging.”

Regardless of the effort Order always put into the struggle, Chaos always managed to return and would continue doing so until the end of time. It was a concept that Yuber was more than intimate with, and one he would make certain continues as he casts the shadow of Chaos over Orders every pathetic attempt to rule over all. “Your world may be at peace for now, but it will never remain. The shadow of Chaos will come again.”
