Nightshift 33: M35, Clinic

[the-clown-king.livejournal.com]

Tamaki was still awed and touched that Ritsuka had set up the clinic for him. He... well, he'd stay alert and up and as focused as possible until Raine showed up. And anyone else. He remembered Kratos had said something about not being able to make it....

They really did need more healers and doctors. Maybe during the day he could hold classes in first aide or something, and anyone who wished to help could come. Yes, that was something he could focus his mind on. That was good.

He struggled out of bed, eyes still feeling hot and itchy from crying, and opened the door with another small smile directed at his roommate.

From the sound of the intercom, something was happening tonight. Maybe he should ask Ritsuka to stay after all.....

Poor Tamaki. The guy was getting it from all sides tonight. Everyone wanted to know what was up with him, and he'd likely be hearing that question a lot. Ritsuka hoped that explaining it over and over wouldn't wear on the guy. Looking up at Raine and Tamaki and the ever silent Mori, Ritsuka wondered just what he was doing mixed up with all these people.

Friends.

Right, friends. Not strangers - they were friends. He had to remember that. Pulling his camera out of his desk drawer, Ritsuka stuffed it into his pocket and turned to head out after Hikaru. He froze when he heard what the Host called him and bristled. "Don't call me that!" he snapped as he headed out after him.

Tamaki glanced at Raine and shrugged. "Nothing," he said, hoping she wouldn't push. He'd talked about it enough, and more than enough people knew already. He couldn't bear to have anyone else knowing!

"Just feeling a little bit homesick, I'm afraid!" he added, smiling sheepishly. Which, well, was true. He did miss when things were simple and he'd never killed anything and he'd never been....

In such awful situations.

Raine frowned; he couldn't possibly expect her to believe that. But, if he didn't want to talk about it... she hadn't known him long and didn't really have the right to force it out of him. Besides that, he had a lot of friends; maybe he was getting things taken care of on his own.

"All right," she said. "But if it's something I can help with, let me know. I won't stand for someone hurting one of my teammates." She was a force when she was angry, and when a child under her care was hurt or threatened--even Kratos generally got out of her way.
