Nightshift 29: M31-M40 Hallway

[i-slay-giants.livejournal.com]

Another unexciting dinner led into to another shot at busting out of the institution as Nightshift rolled around. Of course, Jack had other plans to attend to first. He had been rather interested in crashing paying a visit to M98 after the bulletin promised "cigarettes, booze, and sandwiches". The "manflesh" he could do without, but even if he wasn't welcome (last time he checked, he wasn't a hot lady, though the way things were going, who knew what tomorrow held?), he'd strong arm his way in and take what he wanted!

Sliding from his room into the hall with his maps and flashlight, the Fable set out to find his way to the party and may score some liquor and smokes.

"....I never said I promised," Soubi smiled, thinking quickly and quite proud of his bullet dodging.

Soubi twitched a little when Ritsuka winced, but he didn't do anything. He needed to give Ritsuka a chance, but... it was still his duty to protect the boy, so he sat on the bed and looked Ritsuka in the eyes.
"If there's any danger... run back here or to the nearest familiar group. You're already hurt as it is."
He raised an eyebrow at what Ritsuka told him about paradoxes and so on. "Well then, I'm safe for now," he smiled, standing up.

Soubi reached out for Ritsuka's hand and moved towards the door. "Right, we'll try this floor. And, on the way... perhaps you could tell me what that other boy said about his ears?"

Ritsuka glowered and turned away when Soubi pointed out that he hadn't promised. At least he wasn't making anymore empty promises. It was like when he used to say he loved Ritsuka. The boy never believed him because it always sounded so...fake. Lately, however, he wasn't so sure.

"I'm not going to run," he said, stubborn as always and determined to be an adult rather than a useless child. The Institute had taken what was left of his innocence as far as he was concerned - stripped him of his only proof of childhood. He didn't know how or who, but it was gone. He hated that Soubi kept trying to baby him when his injuries were nothing compared to what his mother used to do. Today had been nothing.

"And I already told you, I'm fine. Stop babying me or I'll never learn anything." Ritsuka made sure his exasperation showed through, but let Soubi take his hand as they went for the door. He really had no idea where they were going, but somehow or another they'd find it. If he told Soubi to get the patient files, the man would do anything to get them - Ritsuka just didn't want him to be alone when he did so. "And yeah... I will. First, let's get out of the room before the clinic starts up."
