Dayshift 42: Tasty Burger - Afternoon

[liveforthispart.livejournal.com]

After lunch, Kanji had just decided to stay sitting at the table and slowly finish off his soda while he tried to think of something productive he could do while he had the chance here in town. ...Ah, who was he fooling? He had no clue what the hell to do. His senpai probably had a list of things they could all be doing while in town. Investigating stuff or mapping the landscape or gathering information from the townspeople or... something like that. But Kanji had no clue how to go about any of those things. He had the observational skills of a rock and him walking around trying to talk to everyone wouldn't end well.

But even he knew he couldn't just sit here, slurping on his soda all day. He just needed to think of something. Yeah. Something.

....

He drank some more.

Artemis laughed a little. "Only you could be warm in what must be December," he said, lacing his fingers with Haku's and feeling comforted by the familiar cool temperature.

"I'd be happy to meet Mr. Alle as well," he said, looking out from behind Badou. "Is he the one standing outside the restaurant, looking a little irritated?"

Badou had to agree. Cold cut through him like a wet sheet of paper no matter what he wore. Haku was lucky - he was probably cold-blooded. Man, he just couldn't win with anyone at all today.

Not to mention his life was still about to end. "That's not a happy face. Maybe he had some bad fried steak." There went his cigarette too, and he had no spares to boot. Even nicotine was abandoning him. He couldn't keep from sounding like a man resigned to his death. "His full name is Allelujah, so just laugh before we get there and make sure it's out of your system."
