Day 51: Breakfast

Yuffie Kisaragi, indomitable bouncing ball of sunshine and unfathomable ebullience, was tired. It'd been a long night full of gibberish and getting nowhere fast.

"Can't I—"

Plucky, who had been busily loading a plate full of French toast and bacon, tittered. "I'm afraid not, Hanna, darling. A chat over a nice, hearty breakfast would do you a world of good, don't you think?"

"Aaaaactually—"

"Come on, let's find you a seat. Plenty to choose from this morning!"

For a long moment, Yuffie seriously considered doing something—anything—to act out. Punch her nurse, rub jam in an orderly's face, climb a wall and hang off the ceiling, jump on a table and parody Loveless… A ruckus like that would definitely jolt her back into gear, right? Sedation aside. And it'd turn Plucky's good day right on its head, which was always a bonus worth shooting for.

But, by the time she'd reached a decision—and it was an epic decision, a really awesome one; everybody'd appreciate the genius, she was sure—she was already alone. Her breakfast tray had been set down neatly by the nurse, who had left with an infuriatingly winsome smile.

"Wow," Yuffie muttered. Shaking her head, she picked a chair at random and threw herself into it. She kicked back, one arm slung across her eyes, to wait. For what, she wasn't totally sure. Some moron to decide that she looked like good company? That was how it usually went.

The longer Tenzen remained here, the longer it seemed that any sort of motive for putting him through this nonsense happened to be completely nonexistent. He couldn't help but to agree with the girl; it seemed as though the head doctor did these things just to show that he could do it. Truly, did this man have nothing better to do?

"I suppose that makes him rather pathetic," the ninja commented, a small smirk forming on his lips.

"Sure does!" Anise agreed with a playful smile. She couldn't quite pass up a chance to put down that bastard Head Doctor.

"Oh, right - I thought you might want to know," Anise began suddenly, lowering her voice a bit just in case any nurses were close enough to listen. "When we went to that ruined town the other day... I picked up a slip of money from there." Tenzen might have seen, and if he did, he might have realized it was a lot more than one, but that wasn't really important right now. "I showed it to a friend from Earth, and it looks like it's from the 1920s. So that helps narrow down how old the place is!"

Since Tenzen had been there too, it was only fair that he got to hear what she learned about the ruins. He probably had a better understanding of Earth's calendar than Anise did, besides.
