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.

Aidou practically skipped a little ahead of the nurse, neatly sidestepping any obstacles. If he just happened to nudge a few people out of his way, it was a necessary formality. A vampire was never jostled by a non-vampire in a crowd. For one, that meant actually being caught off guard by another species, and two... please. Getting caught in a brawl was probably the most unskilled thing a young aristocrat could do.

Not unless he was at the core of the fight, and intended to win.

Eventually he turned around, and said to Sasuke, "If this farce of a hospital has any sense, we'll have an impromptu lockdown of sorts. I intent to find you as soon as it's over." Despite being rudely interrupted, there was still business to discuss. That didn't change even if some crazy girl drew her makeshift harem into a riot right in front of him.
