Night 40: M91-M100 Hallway

[no-barbarian.livejournal.com]

"Well, time to get a move on."  Teisel was a little curious about the box Pencil-Neck was going on about, but it probably wasn't anything too interesting.  His mind went immediately to the thought of trap-box reaverbots, and those were nothing but a pain in the ass. 

Hauling the two pipes out of the closet, he settled them comfortably over his shoulder, picked up his flashlight and set out.

Hokuto was not happy with what she saw, and fortunately for Subaru she didn't do anything like take off his shirt to check the damage there. Unhappy, she just shook her head and looked at him. "Be honest--are you in any shape to go out? I still want to go to Patient Possessions, but we're staying right here if you're not up for it. It's not urgent."

Well... he needed mirrors, but there wasn't much point in getting them if he couldn't go out and use them yet anyway. And as much as she wanted to have a wardrobe again, that could wait.

Subaru wanted to ask why Hokuto wasn't with her club tonight, but somehow he got the feeling that it might be a bad idea. Instead, he gave Hokuto a slight smile and told her the honest truth about how he was feeling--or at least the optimistic version of the honest truth. "I'm feeling well enough, I think. I'd rather retreat from any fights if we run into trouble, though."

Of course, with Hokuto present he would have wanted to do that in any case. Subaru wasn't confident of his ability to protect anyone, in this place--his failures were piling up rather more rapidly than his few successes--and losing Hokuto again was simply not an option.

"Okay." Hokuto didn't like fighting for real, and she wanted to keep Subaru out of harm's way regardless. And of course he's thinking the same thing...

She didn't have the Institute's layout anywhere near memorized, but she still knew exactly where their goal was! Taking out her map, she studied it thoughtfully. "We should stay on the first floor as long as possible, I think--I know the Sun Room isn't safe, but so many people go in anyway that we shouldn't have to worry about running into much in that hallway. So, it looks like we should go past the doctors' offices to the stairs there."

Subaru was very glad he wouldn't need to argue with Hokuto about retreating from battle. Of course, that left the matter of what they would do if they happened on someone clearly needing help--would either of them be able to turn away, even for their own safety? Only time would tell, but it made Subaru nervous to know that Hokuto's safety was on his thin shoulders tonight.

The plan Hokuto explained sounded as good as any, to Subaru--he suspected most areas were as "safe" (or rather, not) as any other, with the obvious exceptions of the Sun Room and kitchen. "That sounds good."

Hokuto folded her map, slipped it into her pocket, and stood up. "I'm ready to go if you are."
