NIght 50: West Wing, North Hall 1-B

There was no one here yet. And wasn't that strange? If she remembered correctly, there was a male patient block here. Even if it was away from the others, it should still be fairly well occupied. Were they all just staying in for the night? It was also odd that no one from the female block had come up this way yet either. Either it was just too early, or something had happened in her absence that kept others from coming this way unless they had a larger group with them (or not at all).

Callisto stopped to shine her light down into the adjacent hall, seeing if she could pick out anyone heading out of their room. She thought she heard the sounds of people moving about on the other side of the wall, so it couldn't be completely empty. Was there any point in waiting around? She didn't need someone to accompany her, and it had only slowed her up in the past anyway.

She would wait a bit, perhaps, if only to sate her own curiosity before moving on.

A smirk crept onto Tenzen's lips in response, and he chuckled softly as if he was amused by the woman's response. She seemed to be a confident one, didn't she?

"Perhaps," he said, "But as you said, two heads are better than one. After all, it would not be the first time the recreational field happens to be guarded. I suppose crossing it together would provide an advantage to both of us." Not that he was in particular need of protection, but Tenzen hardly had any reservations about engaging an enemy in numbers. And if the woman in front of him would prove incompetent, she could always serve the role as life bait.

The ninja paused briefly, watching the woman for a moment with his dark eyes before he said: "Do you not agree?"

No, this man definitely wasn't the sort she was looking to work with right now. Was she worried? No. She could find the kinks in everyone's armor. He'd be no different. It would simply require a little more effort on her part. And anyway, hadn't she been looking for more of a challenge? This could prove to be what she'd been looking for.

"I do agree. So I'm going to head that way, and you're more than free to follow." Of course, it would be important to establish that they'd be going where she wanted to go, or else he'd be on his own. He seemed like the sort of person who might be able to play the follower until it suited him otherwise. Whatever happened at that point, she'd just have to figure out then.

Without another word, she started off down the hallway and out the door.
