Day 25: Breakfast

[uncage]

Kuja was, in fact, quite surprised to suddenly find himself in bed. An odd turn of events, as he previously remembered investigating the contents of a closet. If the genome hadn't known any better, he would have thought he hadn't even left the room. However, the items he was still holding obviously proved such thoughts untrue; he had left his room

Albel had never reached the door he was aiming to open. Instead, he found his crimson eyes staring at the ceiling, blinking the blight light away. The captain wasn't very pleased that maggot of a Head-Doctor had decided to end it all by ending the night, but at least he got something done. Besides, he had killed one of that fool's toys, which was enough satisfaction for the Wicked One to thrive on until some worm started nagging him.

Quickly hiding his new supply of sharp objects, he was again escorted to the cafeteria by the ever-so-cheerful wench. After he had piled some food on his plate, he moved to one of the more secluded seats at the corner. With any luck, none of the annoying fools within this dump would notice him. For his doing, he was in a fairly good mood. Ignorant scum ruining it was the last thing he (or perhaps the patient in question) needed.

Naoya was extremely disappointed when he woke up that morning. Not so much in the fact that morning had come so soon, but moreso that he had gotten absolutely nothing done. How could he have fallen asleep? He had swore to himself that he would look for his brother and the second he had the chance, he couldn't? Had there been something in his food?

The young man stared at the floor as his nurse ushered him along, collecting food as they went.

"Come, Mr. Patterson! You need to eat!" Naoya snapped out of his thoughts as the woman placed the tray at a table with another, crimson eyed patient. The man was lean and slightly androgynous, but that mattered little with how fierce he looked-- and more importantly, disgruntled. Naoya didn't think it was such a good idea to just seat himself uninvited...

"Don't be so shy-" She turned to the other man. "Jonathan, this is James. Now you two play nice!" Without another word the nurse motioned for Naoya to sit down and rather than be touched, he reluctantly complied.

So much for a peaceful breakfast. So far no one had bothered him, but this particular wench had decided to do something about it, a fact that didn't please Albel in the slightest.

And again that stupid name...

"Hmph." he scoffed, glaring at the annoying nurse before she finally left. Seriously, someone should stab these women.

His vermilion gaze shifted to the maggot she had left behind, briefly studying him before returning his attention to his food. He wasn't one of the most social of people, after all.

Naoya cringed as the nurse left, his temporary breakfast companion glaring after her with roiling thoughts of violence. Granted, the young man could not hear the entire train of thought (some portions merely trailing off into what sounded like a mumble of thoughts and emotions), but Naoya got the gist of what 'Jonathan' was thinking.

He wasn't quite sure that stabbing the nurses was a good idea either. What had he gotten himself into?

Fighting back the urge to stiffen as 'Jonathan' momentarily turned his gaze to him, Naoya wordlessly studied his food as he struggled to think. He had to ask around for his brother (anyone could have seen him), but... Naoya gathered up his courage. If this man was going to attack him it was inevitable, but if he could garner more information on the possible whereabouts of his brother in the meantime then the pain would be worth it.

"Excuse me..."

Albel's crimson gaze shifted back towards the worm that had opened his mouth, slightly narrowing

"Hmph, what do you want, fool?" the Elicoorian asked, not bothering to hide the venom in his voice.

It'd better be important, as the captain didn't feel like wasting his breath on trivial activities.

Naoya flinched slightly at the other man's tone. He had been spoken to harshly before, Naoya's breakfast partner's words weren't anything new, but they still carried the force intended. Naoya squared his shoulders in determination, ignoring the temptation to just leave (there had to be other people to question...).

"Do you know anyone named Naoto Kirihara? He's about this tall-" The young man gestured the height with his hand. "And he has black hair and violet eyes..."

"Hmph, I haven't." Albel shrugged, taking a bite from his dinner. Not that the captain was the most reliable person to ask such questions, as he harldy payed any attention to his fellow patients.

"There's a bulletin board in the sun room. Placing a notice there is gonna be more effective than nagging everyone separately, you know." The captain said, not bothering to look up from his breakfast. "Or perhaps scum like you are just too dump to think of something so simple."

The Elicoorian was rarely helpful. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact he had actually accomplished something tonight.

Naoya hardly noticed the insult, disappointment once again welling up. He was beginning to lose hope and it was only his second day here! Maybe his brother hadn't been brought here...?

No! He couldn't think that because if his brother hadn't been brought along then he would have inevitably done something reckless to get him back. And reckless actions always ended up with his older sibling in pain...

Naoya shook his head. "I already made a notice, but so few people replied and there's many people here who might not even check the board." He couldn't just sit around when he could be searching for himself.
