Immediately, the name went into memory, to be drawn on later when the moment arose. He was not the greatest of friends with black-and-white thinking, but when it came to the Institute and the people within it, Aidou didn’t make fine distinctions between enemies or otherwise. As the only vampire, everyone else was under varying levels of suspicion. But Aidou had to admit, he held some value in Sasuke’s instincts.
The way Sasuke reacted to the man in question turned an automatic, blanket disdain into something more tangible. As seen through the boy, Kazukata Muraki was obviously someone to be aware of.
On the simplest level, the vampire didn’t need to know more than that.
Regarding the so-called interference, Aidou could assume with a fair amount of certitude that it had not been in Sasuke’s best interests and had allowed Muraki to get away. So much for that, although Sasuke’s displeasure probably wouldn’t have (or would) let the deed go unpunished. A well-meaning prisoner? An enemy of Sasuke’s or an ally of Muraki’s? He couldn’t imagine an average captive knowingly being in league with one of the doctors, former or not. Either way, the situation would come to a head one way or another. Aidou wasn’t about to ignore it, himself.
After the echo of Sasuke’s declaration had filled the silence for a few moments, he spoke up again. There was really no point questioning the boy’s intention after that. “Have you made up your mind what you’ll do tonight, or are you able to join me in challenging the basement?” If Sasuke had an interest in securing Aidou’s strength for something, he’d leave it to Sasuke to ask, like Aidou was.
