Dreams aren't bad, I had turned back...
Day: 31
Characters: Matt loadsavedgame and Rin cutest_avenger
Summary: More meetings, more scheming, and a little more time for talking. ♥
DAY/NIGHT & Time: Night
Status: Open to Watanuki | Incomplete
She'd felt better after her last meeting with Matt. And she'd managed to keep up her good spirits even though the day had carried the usual litany of bad news and ugliness; hearing what had been done to Cross had made her angry instead of driving her into despair. It was refreshing, in a way, since she'd felt bruised, caved in in parts, for so long after Manji had... gone. It was refreshing to feel glad and angry in some small, unfurling way. To be back in the game, because God Damn it, if she wanted to survive here - if anyone wanted to - they had to be in the game.
Watanuki was still sleeping off his therapy, pale and sweaty and feverish. She was doing what she could for him, cooling his brow with water from the wash basin, trying to keep him from hurting himself when occasionally he tossed and turned in the bed. He'd been so preternaturally quiet sometimes, even before therapy, seeing so many things she couldn't. She worried for him now, and was glad that at least for the moment they wouldn't be leaving him alone - at least, not until she went to the library with Lavi. It was better for him to have company, and she felt some guilt for planning to abandon him. But she couldn't weld herself to the boy at the hip, either. There were other things and people that needed her attention, no matter that she felt for Watanuki and his suffering.
Hopefully the upcoming meeting wouldn't disturb him.
Rin was looking forward to talking to Matt again. They needed to plan. They needed decisive action. Somehow. Soon. Or she was really going to snap.
The knock at the door came as a relief. Rin seated herself on the edge of the bed, keeping an eye on Watanuki's bloodless-looking face, and called "Come in."
