With breakfast finished and a new acquaintance made, the Scarecrow's mind turned to his other friends. The disappearance of Depth Charge's friend had brought back memories of how he'd felt when Kaiji went missing: helpless, useless, as though he should have and could have done something more to find him. If only he had his brain, then maybe he

"H-Hey...!" Pulling it down so the cat couldn't get to it first, Goku held it tightly in his hand, watching it with childish wonder.
".......................... What is it?" He turned it back and forth in his mighty grip.

She circled around the sofa to take a seat next to him, still angling herself to keep the sweet from view. "You peel off the wrapper..." She did so. "...and the candy's inside."
It was something called an O'Henry. Not a brand she recognized, but sweets were sweets. There seemed to be a lot of peanuts on it, all coated in chocolate. Claire beamed secretively at the boy, quickly passing it off into his hands and avoiding the curious cat. "Here. Try it."

".........." He gave her a questioningly look, then went back to staring at the brown log of "candy". After holding it for so long, the tabby in his lap seemed happy to take the initiative, licking the end of it eagerly. Well, if the cat wasn't scared of it that meant it was perfectly edible, right? He took a bite and met some resistance as a sweet, sticky substance entered his mouth. Chewing was just as difficult. "Auhh, i' stah too mah teeh!" It took a rigorous session of whining, kicking, chewing, and more whining before it finally went down his throat.
"Saaa...!" He panted before staring back at the bar and taking another bite. "Wher'd yoo ge' 'em?" He hadn't seen them in the cafeteria earlier.

"I went to a town last night," she said, voice low in case the nurses were listening in. They were such nosy twats. Carefully, Claire stowed away the empty wrapper with as much stealth as she had opened it, sliding back into her pocket. "There was a rack full of candy, so I brought some back with me."
She reached over and scratched behind the cat's ears with a smile. There had been a cat on the island for a time. It had been one of the Others, she thought. A pretty long-haired one. Tame enough that Claire could pet it, but it never stayed around. She'd found the bones outside the bear's cave ages ago.
This one was a lot younger, purring and twisting its head to better enjoy her touch. Claire's smile widened, watching it with lowered eyes. "Don't let them catch you with it. They'll think you stole it and take it away."

Since he didn't want this food taken away, he obeyed Claire and decided to stuff the last of it in his mouth for safe hiding. He looked like he was smuggling a log in that big mouth of his. It seemed so strange that anyone would care so much if they ate outside that food room. Gah, this place had so many rules, it hurts Goku's little brain.
"Whe' wuh' they le' us go?" The monkey boy asked from behind the candy bar lodged in his mouth.

Once he'd gobbled up what was left of the candy bar Claire let herself relax, leaning back into the comfort of the cushions. One hand remained on the cat's head, stroking it lazily behind the ears. "I don't know." She frowned, fixing a solemn eye on Goku. "I don't think they're going to let us go, Goku. We have to find our own way out."
Reply
But the monkey boy was glad Claire was on the same page as he. Goku was getting tired of this place. He had stuff to do, and sitting here was not good for his training. Finding a way out themselves would be fun. "Hee hee, the best way...!" The young boy was so excited, he couldn't help but sock his palm with an anxious fist.
