Day 30: Cafeteria, Breakfast

Hitsugaya woke with a start.

His entire body ached, but the pain was nowhere near as bad as it had been the night before. His injuries had been tended two with clean gauze and bandages, and he found every movement wasn't agony. He wasn't in the best of shape, but thanks to the miracle of landel's strange time distortion, he had mostly recovered from the vile poison without having to waste anyone else's talents.

And in his hand, still...there was the key.

He dressed quickly, sliding the key onto the key ring from his desk drawer and stuck it into his pocket. Whether the key stood to gain them anything or not, it stood as a vital reminder that they could succeed in this place. There was hope, as insignificant as it often seemed. They could beat this place.

That small shred of hope made getting up worth it.

The nurse who escorted him to breakfast was cheerful, and commented idly about how wonderful it was to see young Tommy Winters up and about again after his unfortunate run-in with a bad case of food poisoning. He smirked slightly, knowing that any lies the institute forced into their heads were only that: lies. He wouldn't buy it for a second. And on top of that, the concept of muffins sounded almost appetizing. While he still preferred his authentic Japanese cuisine, the food here was slowly becoming more and more bearable. He would have preferred a warm bowl of sweet nattou over rice over the mufffins, but they would do. The plain yogurt and fruit, on the other hand, was excellent. He piled his plate high with fruit as usual, and got several small bowls of yogurt as well.

Finding the most convenient table to the end of the food line, he took a seat and scanned for the new arrivals. New arrivals meant people who would be lost and confused. Renji did a good job of making a bulliten post last time...he should recommend abarai-fukutaicho do the same again this time.

"River?" Lucivar asked, perking his head up. He stood up straight the moment he saw the violence happening across the room and he longed to rush after his brother but he had promised and at the moment Daemon wasn't doing anything but rushing towards the girl.

"Must I still remain calm?" he growled, glancing over at his father.

Saetan's eyes followed where Daemon went, saw River and he half-rose to his feet himself before he heard Lucivar's question.

"No, no... if it's not too late, go." He clenched his fists and locked his leg muscles so he wouldn't follow as well. River was only a child, a fey, dangerous child, but he knew well enough about those.

Saetan didn't need to tell him twice. Lucivar had jumped over the table once his father had released him, an Eyrien Warcry on his lips as he rushed to join his brother, itching to put his temper to good use.

Saetan watched him go, keeping a very close eye on the altercation, because if anyone tried to hurt his sons, he would be joining them.
