Nightshift 37: M51-M60 Hallway
The conversation with Mikami had left Edgeworth with a lot of food for thought. He was glad that he'd agreed to work with the History Club that night, rather than going along with Mello up to the patient possessions room and the file rooms. While it was true that it could very possibly get his suit dirty, well, he was hoping to avoid that as much

He wouldn't be there the whole night. He knew Mello had other plans and he had things he needed to get done himself. He'd have to get as much as he could done in the shortest amount of time.

He waved goodbye when Sai left and went to gather his own things, opting to leave Usa-chan sitting on the bed tonight, and picking up his half of the walkie-talkie. He'd forgotten to mention them to anyone yet and they could probably wait until morning. All the same, they might be nice to have on hand, just in case. He tucked it on to his waistband and looked for anything else that might be useful. His flashlight, some pens, and that was really it. He'd worked with less, but it would have to do for now.
Peeking his head outside the door, he waited out in the hall, flashlight in hand as he anxiously waited for Takashi.

Mori made it with relative ease to his cousin's room like always. Getting to the place was easy since he did it every night. Coming up without making much noise, but enough to make sure Mitsukuni knew it was him, Mori stopped next to the shorter boy and head out the dessert.

He took the dessert, but paused before eating it, glancing up at his cousin. "Takashi," he started, looking only slightly worried. "You're not upset that I played with Sou-chan today, are you? He's really nice I think."
Playing with Soubi during the last shift had probably been the most enjoyable part of his day. After the first two angry people, then lunch, it'd been a nice pick up before dinner. He just hoped Takashi would understand. Usually there were few problems, neither even needed many words to know what the other was feeling or why, but it was always best to clear the air before things got complicated.

Sou-chan. Soubi. Agatsuma Soubi - Mori had heard the name when the twins mentioned him on the board. The man they said was a pervert. But that couldn't be right since even Mori had met him (albeit briefly) once and he hadn't really given off any weird vibes. Sure, he'd been hanging around with Tamaki's roommate (who looked far too young to be in this place), but Mori hadn't thought anything was off about their relationship. Until this morning of course, but the twins tended to exaggerate sometimes.
Shaking his head, Mori leaned against the wall, keeping an eye on the hallway around them. No matter what people said, so long as Soubi didn't try anything, Mori would be fine with him. Mitsukuni could take care of himself anyway, and if he and the older ( ... )

"He just wants to protect his friend," Honey explained, starting on his ice cream. "I told him we would help him learn to fight. He said he's not very good, but hnn... I bet it would help a lot." Not just for Soubi, but for a lot of the people here. He didn't know if he wanted to start teaching again seriously, but he also didn't want his friends going out at night unprepared.
When he finished the bowl, he set it down near the wall, all set to go, but not sure where to start. Phones again? Maybe tonight that front desk place would be clear.

If Soubi just wanted to protect his friend, then Mori understood his feelings quite well. Not everyone as small as Mitsukuni had the benefit of being able to take care of himself. If the kid wanted to learn how to defend himself, then Mori would be happy to teach him or to let Mitsukuni teach him. The rest of the Host Club could probably use it, too, come to think of it.
Now that everything was settled and the small bit of tension was gone between them, Mori turned his thoughts to what they were going to do that night. "Front room?" he asked, wondering if they were going to try for phones. "Or kitchen?"
Reply
"Front room first," he decided. Hopefully those weird monster things wouldn't be around tonight.
"Hnnn," he glanced down the hallway toward their next destination. "If anything is bothering you too Takashi, it's okay to say something." Tamaki wouldn't share everything, he knew the twins were still keeping a lot to themselves, but Takashi had always been pretty open. He just hoped this place wouldn't change that.

Front room. Got it. With his cousin on his shoulders, Mori stood and started down the hall.
