Day: 23 [backdated slightly]
Characters: Hige (apathywolf), Tsume (crankywolf), Sasuke Uchiha (revengeisbitter)
Summary:
DAY/NIGHT & Time: DAY - Morning, for the main part around breakfast time, but starting a bit earlier and lasting all day.
Status: OPEN, Ongoing

This place even smelt like death, and with every step Tsume took, the stench seemed to become worse. The hallways and those locked doors, the sharp corners and the stairs - everything here made Tsume's senses tingle uncomfortably, ringing hundreds of warning bells in his head. He didn't like it one bit, even less than Jagara's Keep. There was a slow, creeping kind of danger hovering over everything here, and the stench - he couldn't get this stench out of his mind. This wasn't just death.

He shook his head to clear it a little bit, shake the agitating bad feeling off. Instincts or not, this was starting to get distracting. He knew this shithole was bad news, he didn't need his instincts to remind him constantly and blur his perception of anything else. At least those stupid humans had given him his clothes back. The bigger issue, however, was his empty stomach. Judging from what Hige had told him, the meals here were nothing close to enough. But that was a problem at least that the ex-robber knew a very simple solution for.

Well, Hige hadn't told him where he was, but that at least wouldn't a problem. Tsume could tell that a wolf had been around as soon as he passed through that door, into the next hallway, carefully listening, senses strained for guards or whatever else they put in charge here. He stopped a moment, sniffing. There. That was a familiar scent, and a fresh one. He crouched down, nose close to the ground, and there it was - many different smells, this apparently being a place people often passed through - and there was another trace around Hige's. Human, and unfamiliar. That had to be that brat.

Tsume exhaled when he stood up, characteristic frown on his face. That kid wasn't right in the head, that much was clear, but why would Hige have him around?

He'd find out. Looking around, ears strained to make sure nobody was coming close without him noticing, Tsume stood up and inhaled deeply. He knew where the two had gone. Hide-and-seek was over, and Hige better had a few explanations after putting him through this much trouble. From here on, at least, it wasn't hard to follow the trail into the recreational area, into the library. And there, they were. Bad as the situation was, annoyed as he was, it was good to see a familiar face, and Hige was maybe the best choice of all the pack. He couldn't help the grim smirk that spread on his face when he approached the two.

"Hige."
