[Day 14] Coward's Wing Showers

[aiursfavoredson]

Tassadar had found it difficult to move his large form out of bed. The thin mattress had creaked beneath his movements, and without a second thought, the Protoss warrior began making his way towards the showers. His body ached from the canine bites, but he'd experienced far worse at the hands of the Zerg

It appeared as though they had wasted their entire night attempting to bury that useless corpse. Still, if there was one thing to at least be grateful for, it was the noticeable lack of creatures stalking the night. It hadn't gone passed his notice, and it left the ex-General feeling far more cautious than he did before.

Did that mean that those in control here were planning something? The fact that they'd shocked them all into unconsciousness didn't help settle his suspicions either.

There was no hesitation in removing his jumpsuit from his body as he stripped for the showers. Strolling in, he hardly paid attention to the other prisoners as Sephiroth moved in to take one of the unoccupied showers.

Heading down from the Pervert's Wing in his pink jumpsuit, Gellert had the obvious wide-eyed look of a new arrival. He looked with fascination at everything and everybody, grinning on occasion - which seemed to contradict the innocence of his features. Why would anyone be grinning at finding themseves in such a place?

But he looked oddly cheerful. He didn't even hesitate to strip off the pink clothes and head toward the shower next to Sephiroth. He began humming rather cheerfully as he began to wash his body.

The area around him was, thankfully, devoid of others. While he'd lowered himself to tolerating the other prisoners he still hardly wished to socialise with them either - not unless they could further his own gain, anyway.

They all knew to keep their distance, and it was why one so boldly decided to step up beside him, that Sephiroth's eyes narrowed subtly as he peered down to the humming fool, "Is it absolutely prudent to do such a task beside me?"

[seconddarkest]

That brought forth a laugh from the blond. "I've never been very prudent," his eyes sparkled gleefully at Sephiroth then he resumed humming happily, not moving away at all. His carefree attitude making him seem either crazy or that he was simply clueless but he knew what he was doing and it was clear where he was. He just felt, for some reason, that this was somehow more exciting than where he had just been - and was thinking of it more as an adventure.

It didn't matter that Sephiroth struck a more intimidating figure either. Gellert wasn't afraid of anything or anybody - at least nothing he'd admit to, even to himself.

Sephiroth felt his eyes narrow in displeasure as his subtle warning received nothing more than an amused laugh from the child. The accompanying words did little to calm the flash of annoyance either, but he couldn't quite risk obtaining any more injuries on one barely worthy of his attention.

"Obviously you hold no survival instincts either," He found himself murmuring.

"Oh, you'd be surpised," Gellert said casually, rubbing soap down his legs then straightening up again, letting it wash off under the water.

He looked Sephiroth over, clearly amused. "You do look very grim, don't you."

[clinically_nuts]

The casual reply brought nothing but a disinterested grunt from the ex-General as he cleaned his body.

A slender brow rose up at the sudden observation, and as he glanced down, his cat-like pupils thinned as he smoothly questioned, "Your point being?" Whether he looked 'grim' or not hardly mattered to him, but he couldn't understand why this fool was pointing such a thing out.

Was he looking for injury?

[seconddarkest]

"Just that you don't look very happy. But I expect that's because this is a... prison, am I correct? You're trapped here. A prisoner," he spoke breezily as if he were neither trapped nor a prisoner himself.

He shook his damp hair out. It fell in angelic golden waves, just touching his shoulders, framing his handsome face. He was obviously very cocky and perhaps very over-confident with himself.

[clinically_nuts]

"Such sharp observational skills you have," Sephiroth said while barely managing to hold back the roll of his eyes. It hardly took a genius to figure out their current location, but the thought didn't stop the subtle look of amusement as he muttered, "We are all trapped here - yourself included."

Rinsing off the suds from his body, Sephiroth wordlessly took note of the fact that this one seemed far too content for his situation. It left him feeling suspicious to see such over-confidence in another.

[ooc: ack! Sorry for the lateness - something came up yesterday T_T]

[seconddarkest]

He heard the announcement to move on and laughed, grabbing a towel and quickly drying his body. He then picked up his pink jumpsuit and slipped it on, grinning at Sephiroth. "Well, it was lovely to meet you... but there are other things to be seen."

And with another cheery laugh he headed toward the cafeteria, again following the other prisoners. He was still acting as if this was some grand adventure.
