Day 29: Cafeteria, Brunch

[whiteychan.livejournal.com]

Hitsugaya left the chapel no less frustrated than before. The head doctor once again had chosen not to hide his face, yet promised he would be making an appearance at some time in the near future. He didn't like being patient, but there wasn't much choice. Either the head doctor would show his face, or he wouldn't. Renji had already seen him, and knew how to find him. That was enough.

The thought of eating made him slightly nauseous as usual, but he knew he needed to get his strength up. He could either be weak and try to force his way through brunch without eating anything, or he could be smart and actually give himself something to eat. And there was rice. Rice and fruit. He took a heaping pile of rice, and grabbed as much watermelon as he could fit on his plate, then proceeded to an empty table. He scanned the room, watching for Momo. He wasn't exactly looking forward to their conversation, knowing how she'd acted yesterday; however, he knew he had to speak to her, and there was a good chance that she would show more restraint now that the drugs were out of her system.

Thoughtfully he consumed his rice and waited.

"Oh, I'm just a bit tired. It was a long night." Subaru smiled at the young woman, trying to perk up a bit. If even strangers were concerned about him just from looking at him, he must really look terrible! He forced himself to eat a little more rice, hoping that having a little food in his stomach would wake him up enough for his appetite to return.

Rinali nodded solemnly at that. "It was. This was only my second night here, but it seems like it took everyone but surprise." She didn't need to mention what it was that had taken them by surprise...at least she didn't think so. No one expected them to be stuck on the busses come nightfall.

"It was my first night." Well, the first night Subaru had been awake for, anyway, but he didn't want to get into how he had passed out on his first day here and spent the next thirty hours or so out cold. "What is it usually like?" Hokuto had told him some things, but his memories of that first day were on the hazy side.

"It's the same, just you start in your rooms and the doors unlock. There's more time to prepare." She didn't like talking as if she were an expert on the matter. She'd only been here a single day longer, but she at least had Allen to give her some details of what went on. "You're not planning on roaming the halls alone tonight, are you? It's very dangerous for people travelling on their own."

"A little time to prepare would make a big difference for me, I think." He'd have time to make some fuda, maybe do a partial ritual purification--hopefully that would make what was left of his power accessible again.

Subaru smiled faintly at the warning not to go out alone. "Don't worry about me, I'm quite a bit stronger than I look." Or more to the point, he had some magic.
