Night 43: M-A Block Hallway

Suzaku made his way out of his own cell block at a brisk pace, even though he wasn't quite sure he could take Yuffie's presence right now. He didn't want to talk to anyone, least of all have to pretend everything was fine again -- because he didn't want to bother her with the details of his life, and even if he did there was only a limited amount he could tell her. He was sick of pretending.

On the other hand, talking to her reminded him a bit of being with the Student Council. No matter how miserable he felt, he couldn't help relaxing a little around such cheerful people. Even if he hadn't spoken to Yuffie in person, maybe it would help to be with someone so. . . perky. And it would definitely help to beat the shit out of any monsters they ran into outside. He needed to feel like he was doing something proactive, actually accomplishing something useful, and since fighting was the only thing he was good for, he was looking forward to it for once.

"Ah, thanks!" Porky said, pleased that Indy had complimented him seriously, "As for the aerosol cans, you can find 'em in the janitor's closet upstairs. Then again, I'm sure that there are better things you can burn. Maybe they have some gas in the gardener's shed outside or something really flammable in the labs..."

"In any case," Porky said suddenly, "If you ever need another torch, feel free to drop me a line. I'm sure they'll come in handy, especially if you find something flammable!"

"Thanks," Indy repeated, although he had a feeling he could break the legs off his own chair and still have a four-legged one to sit on by the next morning. Infinite resources were one of the few of this place's quirks that he actually appreciated. "I'll do that."

Right now, though, the fuel he had wasn't going to burn forever. He'd better get going while the blaze was still strong. Indy nodded to the old man and turned to go. "Have a safe trip." And watch where you point that thing, he was tempted to add but didn't. The guy probably didn't get to be that age by setting himself on fire; hopefully he wouldn't pick tonight to start.

"Alrighty, then!" Porky said, "I'll be seeing you! Be careful not to burn yourself!"

And with that, Porky hustled out of the room, eager to finish up his remaining tasks.

All right, time to go collect Pilgrim. Indy soldiered grimly onward, torch in hand.
