Day 30: Cafeteria, Dinner

The cafeteria was all but empty when Zelnick got there. He was a little disappointed; he had gotten the impression that patients usually ate dinner in their rooms, so he hadn't arranged to meet anyone, and there really wasn't anyone to sit by and engage in conversation yet.

Quietly, he collected dinner and a big glass of orange juice, and chose a seat near the food-serving counters. Talking for so long had made him thirsty... and, well, fruit juice was a luxury he had missed.

"Heh." Chuckling though the situation didn't merit any laughter, Zoro ran a hand through his hair and visibly tried to relax. There really was no use thinking about things too much.

In a moment of quiet sentimentality, Zoro found himself glad that he had his nakama. Thought it was true that their safety always came first and that he would have preferred they not be at the Institute at all, Zoro couldn't help but concede to the thought that being together in one place would be best. Not exactly strategically sound but their balance in abilities leveled the playing field; it helped to have both reason and rhyme in a harmony of sorts.

He held out a hand for the photograph. Enough talk about things they had no control over; the swordsman could sense that it was getting late.

Speaking of 'late', Zoro remembered something he'd been meaning to talk to Usopp about. "Oh, by the way..." Casually, he scratched at his chin and quirked an eyebrow. "I spoke to your roommate this morning, Captain Usopp."
