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.

And now it was time to pretend to be tactful, because continuing on this course would send him head-on into a catastrophe. "You've only just arrived. There's enough time for events to have occured without 'Benton' being around to hear about them." Of course he wasn't going to just spell it out, he didn't want a black eye before they even got off the bus!

"So Benton would be pretty mad that I had married his sister while he was gone," Marcus kept a very neutral expression, doing his best not to get angry at Recluse. Or, at the very least, not to express his anger.

Marcus really wanted to punch him, it would be a great way to relieve the stress that had been building since he had arrived.

"I think the better adverb to use would be 'completely'. Benton would be furious, if he felt it was... wrong, in some way." And so, he now had a good reason to attack Marcus. What a wonderful day this was turning out to be!

Marcus continued to frown. He had the feeling that the fight would be very, very convincing. They would both probably walk away from it with bruises, and that would hopefully convince the nurses not to search them when they went back to the bus.

Of course, this was all only if they found things worth taking back. Marcus hoped the nurses weren't too quick resolving the fight.
