Day 30: Staff, Morning

Burly orderlies and agile Calm Effect nurses flooded the cafeteria from the Courtyard while regular hall nurses filed in from the Sun Room and ushered out those not involved in the rebellion. It indeed seemed as if Landel was sending out all the cavalry, and an effective cavalry they were: The riot didn't continue for much longer after the alarm ( Read more... )

There was that denial again. Since Seishirou wasn't making any moves to attack, Kurogane only kept his guard and waited, thoughts still processing. This man had nothing to gain by denying the situation. It should have been pretty damn obvious that he wasn't ever going to earn any trust from the Shinobi, so why was he continuing like this? He didn't even sound as though he recognized Kurogane.

... and then it hit.

Dammit!

Putting a hand to his head, Kurogane closed his eyes and gritted his teeth in a low growl. Right, different worlds. How had he not managed to remember that?! This person had no reason to deny anything only because he wasn't denying anything. Remembering things one hadn't done was impossible, after all.

Kurogane opened one eye and set it on the other. He could only manage to grunt at the smile offered him in "introductions". No matter how he looked at it, he hated that look. The smile was as fake as Fai's and far more dangerous; it betrayed Seishirou's nature easily. How many this man had actually killed wasn't so important as him actually being a killer. He may not have been the one Kurogane had fought against, but it seemed that different worlds did not necessarily mean different natures. This Seishirou was just as dangerous as the one he'd met.

That alone kept Kurogane from lowering his guard, even if he had technically been the one in the wrong. "Kurogane..." he muttered out through still gritted teeth.

The name said nothing to Seishirou, not that he had expected that, either. Brows arching curiously, he considered offering his hand for a brief second and then decided against it. Why strain the momentary peace he had seemed to be able to reach here?

"Nice to meet you, Kurogane-san," he said smilingly instead, dropping the shield now that he observed it would get both draining and probably useless as well.

"Now, how about getting to know each other a bit?" He chuckled and sidestepped towards his bed, one amber eye intent on Kurogane. "It seems you already know me. But unfortunately I don't share the same privilege. We're probably going to share this room for quite a while. Why not get comfortable?"

It wasn't as "nice to meet you" for Kurogane. He didn't do introductions well, especially not when it came to people he already mistrusted before even meeting them.

For now, he only watched in silence, cautious of any actions Seishriou might take. Even with the realization of this being a different Seishirou (and an apparently older one as well, as he could now tell), he wasn't about to drop his guard. Doing so would have been stupid. He was sharing a room with a damn killer!

Would he ever be able to get any rest?

Slowly he retook his original seat on his bed, eyes never once leaving his "roommate" as he did. The anger had gotten him dizzy again, so he couldn't see more than the blurred outline of the other, but he had to at least feign awareness in this situation. He couldn't afford not to.
