Night 57: M-A Block Hallway

[from here]He slipped silently down the hallway, flashlight (turned off) in hand, as he couldn't fit it into a pocket with both the bulky radio as well as the gun. A hassle, but bearable. Having a portable source of light handy with him while wandering dark corridors was actually rather helpful, even if normally, Vino wouldn't have bothered with it

The end of a statement and a sigh spoke of a kind of giving up, and to that, Albedo only smiled cheerily. Peter was not Klavier, at any rate. He wasn't fighting to lock Albedo's movements into tiny stifling boxes called normality and mundanity, and for that, Albedo might grow to like him, given the time.

From his peripheral, his eyes caught movement, and surprised, his head turned to follow the other as he left. Friendliness now, was it? Here existed something wholly unexpected. And wasn't that one the one that had likely been warned about Albedo's presence? Interesting. Very interesting, actually, and he'd do well to follow up on it.

Though another time. There was a perfect sort of amusement in front of him, and despite this, Albedo didn't have the mind for it. Especially with that kind of response. It almost made it boring, said with an edge of concern like that. The boy gave a drawn-out sigh, and waved his hand, quirking his lips at Peter. "You're an interesting one. Maybe I'll listen to you in exchange for holding onto this." He shrugged, then straightened, turning to move back out the door. Raising his hand to duplicate Sora, he called backwards, "If you see our mutual friend, do look after him, mm?"

If anything, that gave more than Albedo likely wanted to say, but in the end, it was there. Peter was a valiant type, from what Albedo saw. If he came across Ritsuka, he'd look after him. There was something relieving in that.

That had gone better than Peter had hoped. Maybe it was because the kid had been distracted by someone else waving at him or maybe it was because Peter had handed the gun off without a fuss, but Albedo brushed him off and disappeared through the door soon enough.

He didn't see what was so interesting about him, but he'd have to take Albedo's word for it. He was the one who could heal, and he still had to tell Claire about that. Another time, probably, since he had a job to do.

It was possible that he would run across Ritsuka on the way, seeing how the boy seemed to have a hand in the Search and Rescue group, but he'd just have to wait and see about that. With his load significantly lightened, Peter headed out the door shortly after Albedo.
