Day 41: Sun Room

[feartehreaper.livejournal.com]

Haseo's steps were heavy with the weight of righteous anger as he was escorted into the Sun Room, his posture so sullen and reluctant you could almost hear the nostalgic cry of an electric guitar. He was seething, and though perhaps it was a bit harder to be intimidating while wearing the uniform of an insane asylum and flanked by a bored-looking orderly, it was not for lack of trying.

Unfortunately, his nurse seemed unaffected by the act, and even with the cloud of failing to keep "Kai" away from "Peyton" hanging over her, remained determinedly cheerful. She merely said something about receiving a lecture later on, ignored his retorts, and assured him that it would be alright even though his internet stalker was in the same building. For the most part, Haseo tuned her babbling out after that, dismissing it as hopeless.

"...and usually this would be the time children would be taking showers, but you don't have to worry about that right now. Now then, le--"

"Wait. What?"

"Oh, all the children seventeen or under are separated right now while the adults go to the courtyard..."

"Hey, I'm not a kid you old--!"

"Oh of course you aren't dear, but you're not eighteen yet either, now are you?"

Haseo resisted the urge to do something rash, literally biting his tongue to keep quiet. But upon having the bulletin board pointed out to him, he shrugged off his anger for the most part and headed that way, fully intending to get more answers than he'd had time to receive during breakfast.

Well... at least Endrance is in another shower group, he thought, Thank god.

[Closed to Tsukasa, for now!]

Haku smiled and bowed his head again. "I believe it's too late to not worry anyone Artemis," he said. "Your messages are up on the board after all and anyone that reads them and knows you is bound to be worried."

He wasn't sure if he would be welcome to go with Artemis, or if he was even able to rationally be around Badou at the moment, so he simply waited to see if his friend would leave him to his spot on the floor, or take him along. He did still have a hold on his hand...

Artemis didn't think that bringing Haku along would allow Badou to fully investigate how affected Artemis was by the hallucination. Things might be omitted for the sake of keeping secrets or simply not wishing to discuss sensitive issues in front of practical strangers. He let go of Haku's hand, but briefly looked around to see if anyone was watching.

"I doubt much anyone cares, if I'm still in one piece," Artemis said with a small laugh. Once he'd ascertained that no one was watching the two, Artemis leaned over and gave Haku a small kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you tonight--I'll tell you what happened then, in detail."
