Day 40: Lunch

*hobble wobble*

"Damn that SCOURGE!" Starscream cried out, the slowly-filling cafeteria producing a jarring echo of his raspy voice. His limping, already bad enough from not knowing how to properly use his crutches, was now exacerbated from the injuries he'd received the shift prior. Despite the gauges in his non-casted leg so lovingly provided by the aforementioned 'patient', Starscream could still put some weight on it, but not so much that he could really stop and rest; relieving the soreness under his arms was out of the question. The nurse that walked behind him with his tray, already upset at having to deal with yet another troublesome inmate, was growing rather impatient as his charge slowly made his way down the food line.

"Just...give me a standard serving of the aquatic creature's flesh, some of those fried potato slices, two bananas, and three bottles of juice," Starscream sighed, his anger from just a moment ago assuaged by the physical exertion needed to move the way he did. "I'm going to sit down here...bring it to me when you're done."

He was hardly surprised to find that one of the bananas was completely bruised along its inner curve, or that the handful of 'chips' on his plate were all on the small side. Tired and frustrated as he was, however, he could barely muster a 'damned flesh-creature' before moving his fingers to the plate, picking one of the longer 'chips' and shoving it into his mouth listlessly.

There was an unusually high concentration of sodium chloride crystals on it. Of COURSE.

"I know very well how evil some humans can be," he pointed out, voice flat for a moment. Speaking from experience. "I'd never heard of anything called 'youkai' until you mentioned them, and all I know about them is what you've told me. However, there are beings where I am from that match your description reasonably well that are widely regarded as myth because nearly every person who encounters them is brutally killed so that they stay that way. So, from the experience and knowledge that I have at this moment, it is not an unreasonable assumption to make."

"It's not unreasonable to assume that youkai, in general, may be like that," Sheena agreed. "It is unreasonable and discriminatory to assume that one single youkai is like that without taking the time to get to know her. The fact that she tried to help you last night, as misguided as the attempt was, should say something about her character."
