Day 48: Courtyard

"I could tell you some stories," Yuffie suggested brightly, "of unquestionable legality." Illegality, that was. Petty little things like the law didn't usually mean very much to her, except for the times when she had to uphold it. Always fun for the breaking, though, the law, and messy for the clean-up. Just the way she liked it

Even if Fai did know what had happened he wasn't likely to say anything about it -- even now he was wriggling his way out of any direct questions or statements, trying to deflect attention away from himself. Whether he truly didn't care or was glossing over truths he didn't want to admit to Yue was never certain, and it frustrated him more than slightly. All he wanted was an answer that would make everything...well, make sense again, and those didn't seem very common around here.

"Perhaps you are the same as always," he replied, though in a tone that implied that he didn't entirely believe that no matter what he might say. He paused again, then breathed out what wasn't quite a sigh but was close to it. "The rest of us, however, aren't quite so fortunate."

It was fortunate that Sakura apparently hadn't seen what had happened there that night, and that she believed the kindly-intentioned lie she'd been told. Touya, too, seemed to have missed at least the very end. The fact remained, though, that damages went far beyond simply physical injuries -- especially in his case, where all of his injuries had simply disappeared, new and old alike.

Something like anger flickered in the guardian's eyes, though it was quiet and slow-burning; he was too tired of this to even bother with anything more than that. "It was more than just yet another dead end in exploration." The third floor was out, along with the roof. And now the basement. And all they had left now was ground that had supposedly been trampled by many. Was it even worth continuing to search, at this point?
