Day 41: Intercom, Evening

When the intercom's jingle sounded, there seemed to be some kind of tapping in the background noise, like letters being punched into a keyboard. It stopped and the Head Doctor chuckled.

"Hello, everyone! I'm actually taking a break from paperwork for once – everyone needs some recreational time, you know! – and of course, now we can all look forward to a scrumptious dinner from our cooks. Tonight, herb-seasoned grilled salmon is on the menu, served with buttery mashed potatoes and asparagus. All our regular drinks and vegetarian options are available, and for dessert, we will be serving yellow cake with a whipped cream icing.

"...Well! I can hardly wait to get my own dinner after saying all that. Good bye for now, everyone, and enjoy your delicious food!"

The intercom clicked off.

Allen found his usual place at the bed and started on his tray. He hadn't seen much of Sasuke; he didn't seem much better, but he didn't seem worse either. Allen wasn't much looking forward to the prospect of going to get Tyki's smokes for the next week, but maybe he could shorten it with a wager on their coming poker game. Something to think about at least.

He ate slowly, since here there wouldn't be seconds or thirds, and tried to enjoy his meal before night came.

[[sorry for lateness!]]

It didn't really occur to Sasuke that he hadn't eaten yet today until he registered that his nurse was scolding him as she led him back to the room for dinner. Something about nutrition of which Sasuke was fully aware (it was impossible to be a shinobi without proper nutrition, with the exception of Naruto, whom Sasuke was fairly sure subsisted off stupidity).

Still, he had as little appetite as he had had at any of the other meals today. He couldn't find the concentration to eat and it simply -- didn't really seem important at the moment.

Sasuke ignored his meal and gave Allen a brief nod of acknowledgment, not bothering to strike up conversation. Fourth shift had been the only one today when he'd been able to avoid others; Sasuke was sick of talking.
