Day 38: Sun Room

[paper-murdock.livejournal.com]

Matt had to bite his tongue hard to keep from insisting he would be perfectly comfortable in the library, really, and could he please stop being led around like freaking cattle? As the nurse drew him into the empty Sun Room, the answer to that seemed to be a resounding 'No'.

Great.

He was given the usual talk of 'be nice', 'maybe someone will come back and you'll have someone to talk to' and the strangely sincere 'we're getting a few books in braille, they just haven't arrived yet'. He was sure he believed that one, but it would be nice to not be singled out for a change.

Reminded him of grammar school actually.

What a coincidence, he hadn't been fond of grammar school either. Settling back on the seat he'd found himself in, the Daredevil closed his eyes and debated on the merits of a nap as he listened to the occasional person stop by and scribble something down before leaving. A message board or something? He'd have to ask someone about that.

At that, Subaru found that he genuinely wanted to smile, rather than needing to smile in order to dispel someone's worry. "That's a very good way of looking at it." Hinasaki-san was clearly much better at keeping a positive view than Subaru was--he would have to try harder to do the same.

"I try to be very realistic about the situations I find myself in, though I do add a healthy dose of hope to it." Miku smiled and put her head to the side at a slight angle. "I'm sure I'd be in a lot worse shape if I didn't have some hope, or at least a little bit of self-preservation." Though, to be fair, it probably didn't look like it.

"Your eye, is it... may I ask what happened to it?"

Self-preservation. Now there was something Subaru definitely lacked, or so he'd been told by Hokuto and even Seishirou-san. They were both in a position to know, of course, though for very different reasons. "Maybe I can learn something from you, too, Hinasaki-san." Or maybe not. But maybe it was worth a try.

Maybe Subaru would still have two eyes, and two kidneys, if he had a little more sense of self-preservation. "I... well. A monster decided it looked tasty, I suppose."

"A monster..." Miku shook her head and swallowed. What a horrifying thought that was. She'd have to warn Sousuke and the others to be especially careful - especially Sousuke. "Oh, Sumeragi-san, that's horrible!" Was this place supposed to chip away at you piece by piece? The thought was terrifying.

"We'll have to pick a time when the both of us aren't so... unhealthy, to train," Miku decided quietly, mostly to herself.

[one last round to establish a date?]

"I doubt I'll be going anywhere for the next two nights, at least, much as it galls me. If you find you feel up to it tonight or tomorrow night, please drop by. My room is M100." Subaru reddened, realising belatedly that he had just invited a woman to his room. "I... ah, we can leave the door open, of course. I don't mean to suggest anything improper."
