Day 28: Bus 1

Zelgadis was not happy, at all. Not that this was any change, but the events of the past few hours had given him more to angst about than usual. Nightshift had been dreadful: first he was attacked by a small green man and then covered in leeches, neither of which lead to warm fuzzy feelings.

And now this.

When the nurse had come into his room with new clothes he had a small glimmer of hope-- some thief had taken his normal Landel's wear in the night, so perhaps this was a change in luck. However, it was not the godsend he had hoped for. Minus the threat of sedation, there was nothing in the universe that could make Zelgadis wear a bright lemon-yellow shirt. There was a jacket of a slightly more tasteful variety, so Zelgadis made good us of it-- he put all his coupons in a pocket and pulled up the hood. It was almost as good as his cloak. Well, no it wasn't, but it would have to do.

With mild protesting, Zelgadis was lead to a large yellow vehicle. He climbed the stairs, took a seat towards the back, and readied himself for another frustrating day of being attacked and threatened with spoons.

He'd slept through the night, and he felt completely fuzzy. Something wasn't right; he'd never just slept through the whole night before. And then he was pulled up out of bed and given a change of very un-cute clothes to wear into town. He got time to think in the midst of arguing with the nurse and bargaining for something better to wear; it was fairly easy to argue with them automatically now.

He didn't trust the idea that they were just going to be let go into town. Something else had to be up.

Fortunately, Lyta was on the bus, and seemed to be not a few seats away from the Flame Alchemist and the mad bomber. Hopefully a little eavesdropping could make up for lost time.

If Lyta didn't ask for an excuse, he wasn't going to give one.

"Get anything interesting from our alchemist friend?" Maybe if she got some of his knowledge, they wouldn't even need his hands.

"Just his alliance," Lyta said, not even bothering to look at Envy. "I like him, though." Not personally. She just liked how he worked and how he thought. He was compatible with them.

"I do plan on keeping an eye on him, though. But that shouldn't surprise you." It wasn't like she made it a secret she didn't exactly trust people very much.
