Night 41: M-B Block Hallway

[lawful_perfect]

[From here]

After a few minutes, von Karma arrived at the main patient block hallway. Although it was nearly identical to that of the one in which he was formerly assigned, it felt different to him. Certainly, the trip from his room to the hallway was somewhat longer than it had been for him previously.

Right now, he was the only one in here, but that would soon change as more patients left their rooms. Wanting to avoid inviting any kind of trouble by tarrying here too long, he cautiously peered out the door to ensure that no threats existed. Satisfied that there were none, he went through the door to enter the main hallway.

The hallways were well-trodden, and more people were starting to venture out. Yuffie's footsteps remained quiet, for all her casual pace. Out of habit, she skirted away from any flashlight beams, kept a wary half-eye on her surroundings. Just in case. Yukari had said, back on the board, that she'd be the one responsible if anything happened, right? These particular hallways were said to be the safest in the institute, but it was kind of hard to turn instinct off. Wasn't like there was a flippy-switch, a big red button, or a lever.

Yukari, on the other hand, kept her strolling rather casual and nonchalant no matter how many flashlight beams were around them, like it was just another walk down just another hallway down the same route she had taken a thousand times before ... Okay, not literally, but she had been down this way enough times to the point where Yukari might have felt fine coming without the flashlight. Not that she would, but the point was still there. Somewhere along the way she had finally taken off the lollipop's wrapper and let it sit in her mouth during their trip, watching Yuffie as she did.

"Which way?" Yukari asked, briefly slowing her pace down the hallway.

There was a split-second pause as Yuffie got her bearings, before she hopped forward to skip the first hallway, turned right and began cartwheeling down the second one. "This way! It should be right at the end. And then we've gotta swing back 'round to seventy… M77, yeah." An aerial cartwheel, a somersault, and a handspring finished the impromptu routine. She bounced neatly to a stop, balancing on one leg and twirling around to face Yukari… whereupon she began to walk backwards, arms folded casually behind her head.

... Well.

Yukari may have not been expecting a lot of things to happen, but she was definitely not expecting a spur of the moment gymnastics routine out of nowhere to show up on her list of things she wasn't expecting. In the middle of it, she froze in place, her face twisted in a way that clearly conveyed her massive levels of disbelief and awe; yeah, it was pretty crazy, but she couldn't deny it was impressive, too.

"Do ... you do that often?" she asked flatly once it was done, and Yukari was finally able to bring herself to start walking again.
