Day 41: Breakfast

Endrance turned his head to look at the intercom, giving it a look that would wither an entire rose garden in an instant. He would never get used to ending up in his room again from somewhere else in the Institute.

He brushed his bangs out of his eyes, not sitting up just yet. He could tell already that his torso had been heavily bandaged, even more so than it had been the night before. The cuts on his arms were covered with fresh bandages, and the one on his cheek seemed to no longer be there at all.

Endrance had been expecting to wake up in a lot of pain, but even that seemed numbed. "They must have given me something," he murmured quietly, as he slowly sat up.

At that moment, his nurse came to get him, pushing a wheelchair along with her. "Peyton, dear, good morning. I've come to take you to breakfast, so..." He shook his head. "I'm fine. There's no need for that...I can walk perfectly well."

She sighed. Well, if he insisted, she wasn't going to stop him. She motioned for an orderly to take the chair away, and walked him to the cafeteria. Once they had gotten there, she pointed him toward a seat, then set a full tray of pancakes covered with syrup, a bowl of fruit, and a glass of orange juice in front of him. "Now eat all of that, Peyton, or else you won't be strong enough to keep walking like that."

He glared at her back as she walked away, then stopped suddenly. There was that faint pulse he'd felt the night before...it was exactly the same.

And so he completely ignored his food in favor of staring at the cafeteria doors, looking at every patient that came in.

Juri's eyes went toward the back of the building to where she knew there was a large sports field. "I can climb anything," she said confidently. She polished off the last few pieces of her fruit and drank her juice. In the back of her mind, she wondered why he's suddenly stopped cursing every other word. Maybe she'd impressed him.

"Would you mind checking and... I guess leaving me a note on the bulletin board? I can't stand another night alone." If all she'd heard was true, and there was still doubt about that, she was surprised she was unhurt so far. Going it alone was supposed to be dangerous.

Kagetora shrugged. "Sure." He would do no such thing.

But Takaya would.... Damn. That little pain would ruin his night. Fine, if he was damned and determined to be a pest, he was welcome to the woman. Sliding back, Takaya took a moment to blink, then go back to eating. Frey would probably say no anyway, or he would say yes, and decide that he liked her company better than his... Either way, it didn't matter to him.

Right?

"Thank you. I'll try to do something nice for you in return." She glanced warily around the room as if she expected someone was listening to them. "That is, if I can figure out what is nice around here."

Takaya looked up, slightly confused for a moment, then shrugged. "Nah. Don't worry about. Haven't fucking done anything yet."

He didn't want to be thanked or even offered payment for something that was acertain thing. Made him uncomfortable.

"I like to plan these things," Juri said. She frowned at Takaya. "Haven't you ever had the gratitude of a woman?"

Takaya blinked, then a corner of his mouth twitched. "Are you fucking kidding me? All the girls I know showed their 'gratitude' by either smacking me in the head, calling me names, or just being an all around pai nin the ass."

Though technically Haruie wasn't a GIRL girl. Still, he insisted he WAS, so Takaya included him in that group.

"I'd only smack you in the head if I didn't like what you'd done," Juri said, her voice almost flat. "If I really didn't like you I'd get my fencing sword and stab you, too." Her tone didn't change, but then she smiled, tight and cold.

"I know they must have my things somewhere because I was giving my student council uniform back the second night. There are several things of my own I may want back, but seeing what's outside is more important. You wouldn't want me to get myself hurt, would you?"

Takaya frowned and glanced over the room, catching sight of Frey and sighing slightly before looking back to Juri. "Whatever," he said. "I'll figure something out for you."

He didn't want to just leave this girl to the shit that hunted at night.

Juri rolled her eyes. "You're so helpful. Just let me know what you find out." She wished she still had some food to poke at, even though she wasn't hungry. "You're out of school aren't you?" she asked, which was about as polite she was prepared to be.
