Day 52: Sun Room
No better way to start the day than with a bucket full of sunshine, huh? Too bad that'd been the opposite.
In the end, Yuffie had been more than glad to escape. All the angst and sap and drama; it'd been too much, and way too personal. She'd done her best, for her friend's sake, but that Tomoe chick was gonna be hard work. Why couldn't Kenshin have asked for her help in something simple, like killing the big bad of the day?
… Oh, wait.
Groaning, the young ninja gave up on just walking through the sun room. What kind of a way to cheer herself up was that? No, she needed something interesting—she needed a distraction. Walking on her hands wasn't a whole lot better than walking on her feet, but it did get Plucky going.
"Hanna, stop that this instant! You'll break your neck."
"Oh, come on; only a moron'd kill themselves doin' a handstand. They're child's play!" Yuffie, after shifting her weight to her left hand, waggled a finger at her nurse. "It's a waste of my prodigious talent, actually. You really should be grateful." She hopped forward several more paces before dropping her hand back down.
"Be that as it may," Plucky replied, doubtfully. "I must insist."
"Insist away," said Yuffie, nonchalantly, pausing just long enough to let a cat stroll past her.
"You'll disturb the other patients!"
"Your face'll disturb the other patients." It was petty, and it was childish, but Yuffie didn't care; it was getting her what she wanted. And what she wanted was something to laugh at, something to poke at, something that, while it kept her wandering attention in the here and now, didn't really require her to think.
[For Kaito~]

"You're far too serious, Himura-san," the captain teased, sitting back against the sofa. His eyes turned away and as they did, his mood shifted. He might tease Himura of being serious, but now it was his turn. "But fair enough. You don't have to allow it, just know that I'm not going to stop the progress we have just to satisfy your morals. Maybe you've changed and decided to leave your past behind you, but the rest of us are still demons inside." Some of them would never be anything but demons. "Someone has to do the work no one else wants to do in order to achieve."
"Watch the new recruits, send those you can't use to me. I'll do the same with you. There are several people who are less inclined to become what I am in order to accomplish their goals. I think they'd work much better with you."
