DAY 23: BREAKFAST

That hadn't felt like an entire night.

And his goddamn head hurt. Pounded, even. Enough that he wondered if he was going to end up playing another round of "Christen the nurse" this morning.

Maybe it was because he'd spent so much time and energy trying to find Nowe. That could be the reason behind both those problems. Just the thought of it made his stomach turn, made him want to fucking choke something.

Still, there was shit to do. He forced himself out of bed to put away his pens and the other leftovers from the adventures that didn't happen last night. He'd have to try to talk to Sora today, to see if they could just do tonight what they were going to do last night... and to see if the kid was doing alright.

...he just wished his head would stop hurting. That was probably the result of just how badly he'd overreached himself the previous morning.

The nurse that showed up to get him was cheerful. He grunted at her, listening to her with only half an ear until she mentioned all the excitement, about someone pretending to be a patient, all that crap that Landel had mentioned.

Renji gave her a narrow-eyed look. "Dr. Landel is a goddamn lying coward, and he's lying about that, too," he said. Whether it was true or not, there was only so much good cheer he could take on a shitty morning. "I hope he chokes on a cock." No matter how much venom he put in that statement, it wasn't enough.

Then he had to listen to a lecture about language and gratitude for the rest of the walk to the cafeteria, so maybe it wasn't worth it after all. She dragged him through the breakfast line, and he ended up with granola and toast and tea and a cinnamon roll, because not even a shitty fucking night could ruin his sweet tooth. Though that thing was looking a little too sweet.

The cafeteria was pretty much empty; he had his run of the place. He sat himself about as far from the doors as he could get, and proceeded to stare at his breakfast.

"I have the same problem. Fortunately, none of them seem to have made their way to this place." ...But killing Marcus would be so much more simple here. Oh well.

"Understandable, but unwise. Although, I must admit I was tempted to put my nurse's head through the wall this morning." She just had to be the most gods damned cheerful thing in existence, didn't she... And no, he did not appreciate being told to 'be a good boy.' Honestly, if he had to listen to that for more than a few days, he was going to end up belonging in a mental institution.

"Thanks." He placed the model in front of Haku. "You can have it if you want, I have no compelling reason to keep it."

Haku had to laugh at that, discretely, behind a hand. As it was over his Master. "He's not the type to figure out on his own that the best way to deal with people like this is to simply go along with them." It made them much more relaxed around you, if they thought they had a good hold on your mind.

"But yes. I find them to be rather...taxing." Haku found himself wishing he could be at least a bit harsh with the irritating women and men that he'd come across.

He frowned in thought. People didn't offer others something without a secondary motive. Still, it wasn't a large gift, nor something that could be held against him for something large.

He smiled and bowed his head slightly. "Thank you very much." Gifts were a rare thing for Haku.
