Day 35: Bus 3 (Return Trip)

Armand wearily climbed the steps of the bus. He was less tired than cold, but it made his limbs ache. He hoped they'd actually make it back to the Institute before dark this time. He hadn't seen either Citan or Morrison in town, so he kept an eye out for either one climbing back  into the bus. He still wondered if Morrison had been able to rest today instead of coming to town. Other than a lunch that he hadn't liked and meeting a new face or two, he wasn't sure at all what he'd gained by the day. Oh well, he was more than used to disappointment and failure.

[waiting for Citan if Fey is backish]

Now they were getting somewhere. "Reinforce..." Sheena repeated the name, the tone of her voice not changing as she continued.

"She sounds kinda pretty. What's she like?"

"A living book, literally." That in itself should let Sheena guess a lot about how Raine had reacted to Reinforce; somehow she'd only gone into Ruins Mode once or twice.

"We have--or had--a lot in common. We both kept forgetting to return books to the library, so you can imagine what our room looked like."

Sheena snickered at the mental image, but smiled softly. "Sounds like you two were well-suited to each other." Seriously, a living book? That's like perfect for Raine.

"You could say that. I should be glad she's out of here, no matter how much I miss her, but..." she sighed a little. Anything was better than here, at least in theory, but Reinforce had said she died before she came here. Raine had no idea what that meant for after she was out.

Or for when someone else was. When is a good time to tell her that the person she has something of a love-hate relationship with died before he got here? Because of when Sheena was from--it might well be in her future.

Sheena shifted a bit to face Raine more as the woman spoke. There was something.... interesting in that little sigh. The ninja rest her head against the seat and that knowing smile snaked it's way onto her face once again.

"Maybe she'll come back. Maybe you'll get to see her again."
