A riot? It didn't sound like anyone had planned it, but there were a lot of patients (although Sasuke also remembered an improbable number of staff), and concerted action in daytime, when the Institute's inexplicable powers seemed to be weakened -- but were the goals of everyone in this place really aligned enough for it to be successful? Landel's kept them too well-fed and content for real desperation to link them together, as was obvious in the way those like Aidou kept hold of useless attitudes and grudges.
"I'm delighted you've found some reasonable friends, Sean," his nurse prattled, mostly background noise to Sasuke. He registered that Mark and Aidou were ready to leave, and logically, that was what he should do as well. Still, the temptation to punch one of the staff, and River ... "Young Aidan seems to have improved so much since the first time you've met -- you could stand to follow his example a bit, dear. And Mr. Evgeni, I'm so glad to see you've taken time to be friends with Sean!"
... did the woman not shut up? There was only so much background noise Sasuke could handle, especially when he was still trying to see if there was any sign that River (or any other ally) needed help. Not at all as an excuse to take out some pent-up aggression.
"Where's Miranda?" He asked abruptly (almost added a question about Naruto and Sakura, but they could handle themselves and were more sane), and his nurse made a slightly distressed sound.
"She's been a little silly," the woman said, and put a hand on his arm that Sasuke shook off roughly. "She'll be fine, Sean, really! Come along with your nice friends, now."
There really was no reasonable alternative. No matter how much Sasuke itched to hit something, injured hand or no, it wouldn't make sense at this point, especially since the calmness of the nurse implied that the 'riot' had a fairly low chance of success. And, damn it, without his sight Sasuke wouldn't be able to tell the difference between patient and staff if he were to get involved enough. With a frustrated sort of noise, Sasuke stood, following the distinctive click of his nurse's shoes.
