Night 51: M1-M10 Hallway

[feartehreaper]

A week. It had been an entire week since Haseo had been dragged from his room after dinner and taken upstairs for experimentation. It wasn't until the staff had brought that dinner again that the Adept Rogue realized the complete significance of what he'd been trudging through all day- somehow, a full seven days had come and gone since then, and

A sneeze.

One single sneeze when he saw Haseo, and then Endrance had to shake that off, to try and look healthy even if he was far from that. He was tired, yes, but that didn't mean anything. This place would tire anyone out. The sneeze? Well, he just hoped Haseo would overlook that.

"Excuse me...and hello. Are you feeling all right?" Those dark circles under his eyes didn't go unnoticed, but Endrance didn't say more than that about them. There wasn't much to say about them. He couldn't blame Haseo for not wanting to sleep, given what this place had put him through. That would make anyone an insomniac for life, if they weren't already one.

...the kiss, from last night? Well...there wasn't much to say about that, either. Yes, Endrance liked it, yes, he wanted it to happen again, but the hallway was not the place. There were too many people about for such a...a private thing as that. He wasn't given to that particular kind of public display of affection, even if he was given to what was probably far more embarrassing in the end. It was one thing to say it, for Endrance, and a very different one to show it so intimately.

His cheeks flushed, but he didn't say anything else. Hopefully, that wasn't too visible in the dark.

Wait... was Endrance sick too? Normally something like a simple sneeze wouldn't have caught Haseo's attention in any significant way, but it was hard to not take notice when you'd spent half the day with your own immune system battling off something benign but seriously annoying. A very odd look passed over the Rogue's face as the realization hit him, his eyes widening slightly before he suddenly looked aside. He resisted the urge to sniffle or wipe at his own nose at the thought, mildly embarrassed by the idea.

"Yeah, I guess," he answered promptly, followed by a sigh- the statement wasn't entirely true, of course, but Endrance would know and probably understand. The teenager pushed aside those thoughts though, focusing instead on the urgency that had gripped him since dinner had begun. Even though the rest of the building was just as dangerous, he wasn't really willing to spend much time in the bedroom blocks if he could help it.

"Come on," he said, and gestured briefly as he made for the larger hall leading out.
