Day 31: Sun Room (Fourth Shift)

[screwthegods]

Though perhaps not entirely as successful as he wanted it to be, Homura walked away from lunch feeling satisfied with his efforts. Roland and Fai both had shown interest in the goal, and that was enough for the moment. Homura could be patient, had already been for five hundred years, and felt no harm in waiting another five hundred if he had to. He would have his goals realized, no matter what obstacles he faced, be they from the prison or those trapped within.

But now was time for business of a different sort, and the demi-god made his way to the Sun Room, near the common board. He made sure he could be seen from the entrance to the cafeteria, knowing that one stranger and one member of his own group both wanted to meet with him. It worked out well enough, especially given that the stated purpose of the History Club was simple.

Revenge and escape.

For now, Homura had no intention of revealing that it'd grown more complicated than that.

"Hmm, what an enemy that is, even for having such a stupid title," said Aidou, looking ponderous despite himself. "And you use weapons you don't fully understand? That's interesting... Why do you suppose that is?" Just from the sounds of it, whether he truly believed in the account or not, a mysterious offence that wasn't fully understood probably had more in common with the enemy than with "innocence," or whatever meant by it.

And fighting against an enemy whose motives you couldn't even describe... Well, Aidou supposed one reason he couldn't relate to such an idea was because when it came to his experience, he was the non-human entity dubbed the 'enemy'.

Aidou would have continued with his thoughts had Allen not interrupted again, and this time at the end of his little human chain. The vampire laced his fingers in an arch, elbows propped on the armrests; he glanced at Allen from the corner of his eye, but no more. Aidou knew Allen breaking had only gained Aidou ground, like two wolves circling the kill, and it soothed any of his irritation. He was every bit his aristocratic background when he said, "I have nothing to apologize for. Nobody likes a crabby soul, so why don't you try and cool your head before dinner."

He sighed lightly, giving Rinali a look and a half-shrug as if to say he was sorry for the rude interruption. "This shift is almost over, anyway. Do you want to spend some more time with me tomorrow, Rinali-chan? I enjoyed this."
