Renji wasn't certain how he'd gotten from the room with Sora and Nowe back to his bed. He scrambled up and quickly checked; everything that he'd tucked into his clothes was still there, including the trauma shears and the start of the map. He quickly hid those things wherever they would fit - and not be too obvious. Hopefully Nowe and Sora had been

So he was back in his room, in one piece, not recalling how he actually got there. Just like the night before. The captain let out a sigh, and noticed how sore he actually felt. He also had a headache, and his shoulder still hurt.
Speaking of which...
It had apparantly been treated and bandaged by someone. The staff? Or the person who had saved him? Albel didn't knew.
Frowning, he finnaly stepped out of his bed the moment the door suddenly opened. A very cheery nurse stepped inside, smiling brightly as some sort of greeting. The captain wasn't particularly interested in getting another sedative dealing with the annoying wench, so he allowed himself to be guided to the cafeteria (but not without glaring at her).
He quickly put some food on his tray and seated himself at an empty table, glaring at the (still) empty chair across him. He wasn't really happy with the events last night, not to mention both his dignity and pride had been more or less shattered. Reason enough for Albel to be in a foul mood, and he hoped the other maggots in this nuthouse would leave him alone and mind their own business.

Following the nurse and grabbing some breakfast, he spotted the dark haired kid from last night eating by himself. A huge grin formed on his face and he plopped himself down in the empty chair the kid had been glaring at. He obviously wanted to be left alone, but Zelos just couldn't resist.
"You're still alive? Gotta give you some serious credit."

Slightly narrowing his eyes, he finnaly replied. "Of course I'm alive, you worm! Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here."
"But why would you care?"
Reply
"Oh oh oh, forgive me, great one, for doubting your abilities!" If he was well enough to have such an attitude, then he was probably alright. The truth was, he did feel a little bad about having to run and leave him there. Lloyd's heroic attitude was starting to wear off on him.
"Hey, I'm not as heartless as I look. I'm a caring guy, really."
Reply
The reason he was still alive wasn't because of his own abilities, which was something he didn't really like. It only proved how terribly weak he was, the very failure that had cost his father's life. And even now, nothing had changed. People still risked life and limb to save his sorry ass, even random strangers. The reason why was something beyond the Ellicoorian's understanding.
And what exactly had that geometrical-headed monster been doing anyway?! He still felt the monster's grip on his wrist, the burning in his arm which eventually led to him reliving his fathers death. He had never seen anything like it, anything being capable of that.
"Good for you." he replied to the other man's last comment.

Zelos munched on some bacon. "I would have avenged your death."

"What the..." Yuffie sat up, looking at the pillowcase still clutched in her hand, but her room wasn't in the shambles that she'd left it in. "This is totally bogus..." she grumbled as she climbed out of bed once more. It was just like that weird dream she'd had... So maybe it wasn't a dream after all? Ugh.. This place was like some kind of deranged funhouse!...Minus the fun. I mean, she hadn't even gotten to loot Reno's pockets. He could have had materia or something! Though if he did, he was pretty stupid not to use it...
She paid absolutely no mind to the intercom as she searched the room for a hiding place, finally deciding to stuff the bag under some folded clothes in the dresser. Hopefully, they wouldn't go rummaging through that, right? Well, if they did, she'd just have to kick their asses the old-fashioned way. And it'd be their problem. After all, did they have any idea how much more difficult and time-consuming it was to knock someone unconscious with bare fists? Really.
As before, Yuffie took it upon herself to leave her room in search for food, not bothering to wait for a nurse. She wasn't a kid. She didn't need someone walking around with her and holding her hand. She was supposed to go to breakfast, right? She wasn't going to pass up a free meal.
Reaching the cafeteria, she piled a helping of buttered and syrupy french toast, bacon, sausage, eggs and milk onto her plate. As much as she could fit on a plate, really. She had to keep her strength up, after all! High metabolism and everything. Once she'd gotten her food, she glanced around the room before spotting a familiar red-(pink?)-head. Oh, this was much more delightful than grumbling about this stupid building. She'd even almost forgotten entirely about the Reno incident.
As she approached, she noticed that he seemed to be talking with another person. Well, talking wasn't quite the word she'd use since they didn't seem to be too sociable towards one another. In fact, she wasn't quite sure what to call it. Still, she thought she'd do them a favor and break the tension by dropping her tray down next to the redhead and grinning.
"Hey, boys. Mind if I join you?" she greeted them, not really giving them a chance to say yes or no before seating herself.

"...You're a fool."
Albel looked up as some wench decided to seat herself next to the red-headed maggot. Great! Even more maggots! Just the thing he needed this morning.
"Hmph, suit yourself." he replied to her. It wasn't like he was going to get some time alone anytime soon.
Reply
"Sticks and stones, kid." he said, but there wasn't any hint of malice in his voice, just playful teasing.
Zelos brightened even more when he saw a cute girl sitting down next to him. He recognized her; she was Aerith's friend. He didn't remember catching her name.
"Hey there, hunny. How was your night?"
Reply
"Pretty sucky, really," Yuffie sighed, settling in to hack away at her french toast until they were bite sized. "I met up with this jerk from my world and decided to tail him cuz he was being all paranoid, and it was funny, but we ended running into one of those stupid Turks." She frowned at this, attacking her breakfast with a little more force.
"And when I mean stupid, I mean stupid. I mean, ugh! These doctors must have gotten to him or something because right off the bat, he started shooting at us! His boss, too! Crazy idiot. And he had this electrical metal rod that he could beat people with, but Rufus managed to get it away from him. And we were gonna tie him up and get information out of him, but then suddenly it was morning and everyone was gone. Totally bogus." As she finished off her rant, stuffing some of the chopped up french toast into her mouth. Her mood had turned a bit sour again, but at least she'd gotten it out of her system.
"If I see him again today, I'm totally kicking him for good measure," the young ninja added after swallowing the mouthful of syrupy goodness.

There was no way he could try and defeat the geometrical headed monster in his current state. He hated to admit it, but he had been lucky this time, and he couldn't rely on luck forever.
The captain couldn't help but wonder what else this nuthouse had in store for him. Surely, that creature wasn't the only thing they had here. He'll have to keep his guard up, no matter what.
And he'll need a weapon soon, his flashlight just wasn't sufficient enough.
Speaking of which...he remembered he saw it lying on the grass, he apparantly dropped it in all the confusement.
Great!
Reply
"So, a wonderful night all around then?" He grinned at her. "At least you didn't get attacked by a triangle headed monster."
The kid suddenly looked shocked, like he'd just realized something. "Something wrong, chuckles?" Zelos asked.
Reply
Yuffie followed the redhead's gaze to the other man as he changed the topic. This guy seemed like a real stick in the mud... He wouldn't smile or anything and he'd hardly said three words to her. Literally.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" she chimed in with Zelos, despite the fact she hardly knew the guy. "And what's your name, anyway?"
Reply
"That's none of your business, fool!" he growled, taking another bite from his sausage. He already was in a bad mood to begin with, and meddlesome worms wouldn't exactly improve any of it. He already knew he didn't like these people, the guy was even worse then Cliff was (and to Albel, that said something), and the wench irritated him to no end.
"Albel." he replied to the second question, not bothering to ask for the other people's names it wasn't like he actually used them anyway.
Reply
"Don't get your panties in bunch now, Sunshine." Zelos said. He wasn't going to use the kid's name -- where was the fun in that?
Instead, he picked a sausage off of Albel's plate (even though Zelos had plenty of food on his own) and turned to casually chat with Yuffie. "By the way, I ran into your friend last night. Aerith. Thanks to me, she's safe." He raised up a hand, as if to stop the applause he knew was coming. "No need to thank me, but if you want to, I'm sure I can come up with something."
Reply
The young ninja did perk up, however, when Aerith was mentioned. She grinned a bit, crossing her arms over her chest. The implication that Zelos had added wasn't at all lost on her.
"Well, I'm pretty grateful to you for helping my friend and all, so maybe I could think of something... But it would depend on what exactly you saved her from, you know?" She gave him a slightly suspicious look, though it was still playful. "And if she didn't repay you already..." She had seen the looks Aerith had been giving to him yesterday morning...and visa versa. She was gonna have to talk to her friend about that...
She didn't really care so much that Aerith was flirting with someone besides Cloud, since it seemed like forever and a day since she had died and Cloud was probably over it by now, but she just couldn't hog all the guys to herself!
