Day 30: Patient Library (Fourth Shift)

While he waited for his bulletin board correspondant, Farfarello perused the library's offerings once more. There was no sign of any of the books he'd requested in the suggestion box but he wasn't very suprised that this was the case--even if, by some chance, the Head Doctor actually intended to grant any of the reasonable requests it still would probably take more than a day for anything to happen. The wheels turned slowly, in institutions, and there was no reason for a fake institution to be any speedier than a real one.

For lack of anything better, Farfarello pulled down the Histories volume of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. A little Richard III would keep him diverted for a short while, anyway.

The sound of someone nearby caused Javert to half-open his eyes.

He'd seen the man sitting near him from a distance a few times, but, as with most people he saw these days, had felt no inclination to speak to him. Now, it seemed the man was busy reading - it was hard to tell with the odd dark glasses he was wearing.

Another man approached; apparently he knew the man with the dark glasses. Javert looked back down at his own book, paging idly through it. Whatever it was about, it didn't particularly concern him. Although he couldn't help but think that the name 'Wesker' sounded awfully familiar.

"Farfarello, good to see you too. I imagine William is off having fun somewhere," Wesker turned his attention to the other man now that he seemed to be partially awake.

"I hope we didn't disturb your nap," Not that he particularly cared, really, but it was just a way to make conversation, and the more people Wesker knew, the better.

Wesker preferred to make his first meetings either one on one or through a mutual acquaintance, but he was a very flexible person.

Javert glanced up, shook his head. "Not at all," he said simply, before returning to his book.

He didn't particularly care one way or another if someone wanted to have a conversation nearby.

"William is quite adept at finding ways to amuse himself," Wesker replied, wondering who Birkin was tormenting right now. There were generally only three things Birkin did, sulk, experiment, and torment people.

Birkin did have his days where he managed to do all three at once, though. He was probably playing some twisted mind game with someone at this very moment.

"You know how he is."

Apparently Javert was less than interested in being pulled into the conversation, either that, or he didn't take subtle hints particularly well.

Javert turned a few more pages. Despite his efforts to stay out of the conversation, he was slowly beginning to eavesdrop. Force of habit.
