Nightshift 26: M31-40 Hallway

[face_of_chaos]

[ From Here]He’d walked past the bathroom Usopp had introduced him to on the first night, before heading directly towards the last hallway in this particular block. It was rather fortunate that he was placed so close to his ally’s location, and he found it more of just a matter of playing a waiting game as he silently marched down the hallway

Omi was ready and out the door as soon as the locks clicked. Something about the intercom's warning unsettled him, although that was hardly new. He settled the bat against the wall next to his flashlight and started some quick stretches just to pass the time while he waited for Aya.

Hopefully he wouldn't have to wait too long.

It didn't take Aya long to gather whatever he thought he needed and step out of his room either. Seeing Omi right now wasn't high on his list of things he wanted to do, but that hardly was surprising after today.

Nonetheless, he made his way through the few meters separating their doors to the boy, who was already waiting for him and stopped beside him.

"You have some kind of job to do tonight?" It was as good as a hello, not nearly as good as an apology but unlike Yohji, he had not learned to apologize quite yet.

He stopped his stretches when Aya appeared, nodding to the bat while he grabbed his flashlight. "Mmhm, and they're probably waiting. It's best to start as soon as possible when you never know how long you'll have."

He stepped back, waiting for Aya to grab the bat before he left. He wasn't any too keen on talking to Aya, either, but since he didn't really think Aya had anything to apologize for, the lack of an apology (even something as good as one) wasn't really noticed.

Nodding, Aya considered Omi for a moment. He didn't make any gestures towards the bat. The whole concept of taking it felt wrong, but he couldn't just leave it. Not this time.

"Omi," he started a bit hesitantly, his voice lacking any other emotions. "You saw the man I hit today during lunch?" Of course he had seen, considering Omi had asked about the punch as well. And so he continued without waiting for an answer. "Stay away from him."

Aya knew there was plenty of dangerous people in here, and he didn't bother warning Omi of all of them. But Kikyo was different somehow.

That said, he stepped aside, waiting for Omi to hurry away to his other meetings.

[daddyslilkiller]

His eyes narrowed, uncertain as to how he should be taking that warning. But he had neither the time nor the inclination to think it over too much right now.

He glanced back at the bat again as he moved past Aya, calling back over his shoulder, "Don't forget that. The last thing anybody needs is to wander around unarmed in here."

((moving here))

Aya stared blankly after Omi for a moment. He couldn't even start to making sense of the myriad of confused thoughts that were running wild within his mind, nor did he want to either.

He decided to wait for Yohji for a moment. But it ended up being a brief moment considering what the intercom had spat out before the doors opened. Killer, connected to some kind of weeds, it could be Weiss. Whatever it meant, he had no idea, but that didn't lessen the uneasiness that came with the thought of someone of his team being specifically mentioned in the intercom.

He grabbed the bat and left the hallway with it.
