Nightshift 31: M21-M30 Hallway

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

((Specifically in room M22))

This night was shaping up to be another long and tiring one. Adelheid mentally ran through the checklist of things to do: give a spear to Yukari Takeba, create the sakabatou for Himura Kenshin, sharpen Kenren's blade... and then, if he found a moment to breathe, to do something to let off some of the anger he still felt. At least he wasn't powerless tonight; that was the only good thing for him to look forward to. It had been too long since he'd gotten to fight something that wasn't a patient.

He kept one ear on the radio, still wondering if Jack was honestly gone and convincing himself that such could not be the case. Besides, he was too busy to feel grief now. He had to focus, or else this night was going to be just as frustrating as the previous one.

"I suppose..." Valyn couldn't help but press his lips against Shadow's finger, softly. "But night is just as serious, you know. Perhaps moreso. At least here. Not back in the woods. At least then, even our pursuers needed to rest as well."

"Monsters can't come into the rooms, can they?" Shadow asked having a pretty good idea what the answer would be. "So we're safe here at least for tonight. We can rest together."

"No, they can't come into rooms." Valyn shook his head. "We're safe here, for now." At least there was that. They could rest here, without worry, at least for one night....

"Then, let's pretend for a moment that we're not in some mad hospital. This isn't a rough bed but your own with the softest comforter," Shadow murmured, speaking softly before kissing Valyn, finding that there weren't anymore words that needed to be said between them.

Valyn found there was nothing he could say to protest. What would it hurt to pretend, for just a small while, that things weren't horrible? To try and relax? And to enjoy the fact that Shadow was here, and they were both alive....

He closed his eyes and moved into the kiss, for a moment just letting himself be happy he had his cousin with him again.
