NIGHTSHIFT 41: Main hallway 1-East

Allen hoped to finish the errand as quickly as possible so he could get on with the important things and mentally kicked himself for getting into this mess in the first place.  Of all the wagers he might've made, this was probably the easiest to fulfill, but it was still a pain.  And who knew if Sora would be waiting for him?  He

Now completely on his own, Sho felt the urge to run again. Fear? Hardly. This was his element. He just felt like running for the pure chemical satisfaction of it.

Half-falling down the stairs, Sho stumbled out into the hall. He'd left that blasted alien behind but his body was still burning on a cellular level. At least his injuries were fairly superficial. Clicking on his flashlight, he continued down the hall towards his destination.

Nanny of Honor? Suzaku snorted. "You implicitly appointed me by being negligent. I didn't appoint myself." Speaking of implying things, he realized he was admitting that his new title was, in fact, Nanny of Honor. He was a little distracted, however, by wondering why Lelouch would bother to smile at him so much. Was he happy that Suzaku trusted him again? Shouldn't he still be upset that Suzaku had questioned him in the first place? It couldn't be that bantering like this gave him reason to smile, not when they were no longer friends and (he assumed) Lelouch had no regrets. He must be keeping up the conversation because, like Suzaku, he preferred it to silence. "But I know you can take care of yourself," he said a little more seriously. He knew that more than anyone, that Lelouch couldn't be underestimated

Damn, that was a good point. Technically his decisions were no longer his own, and Lelouch was fully entitled to demote Suzaku from Nanny of Honor if he so wished. Not that being in servitude to someone else had ever stopped Suzaku from taking whatever actions he thought appropriate, but this was a little different. He hadn't owed the others anything (except for Euphie), but Lelouch and his cause demanded Suzaku's unswerving loyalty. This was a relatively small issue, of course, yet when push came to shove Lelouch would have the final say. Didn't mean Suzaku wouldn't go down without a fight

Right back where he'd been earlier. Should've just asked Sora to meet him here instead of running all over the place first. He wasn't sure what he was going to do about his wager with Tyki since the cigarettes he'd been told to retrieve weren't there anymore, but there was time for that later.

[scintillatingly]

The fact that there were so many less people around here all of a sudden made it pretty certain to Sora that the greenhouse yard was the best place for them to try and get over the wall. It was out of the way, but at least they wouldn't get run over by a crazy car in this case.

He wondered if maybe he should say something to Allen, but there wasn't much to say besides complaining about what happened, and they should probably worry about getting to where they were going first.

Holding back a sigh, Sora took a left down the next hall.

They were getting further away from other people now. It would be more difficult to follow them at a close enough range to hear them and not get caught. He just needed to keep up an innocent appearance. He was just a lone patient wandering the halls, perhaps looking for equipment. If he was caught, well, he had plenty of excuses already forming.

"Really?" Yuuhi replied with one of his usual smiles. There were many ways to amplify a person's magic. He'd had a staff before, to boost his own casting, not that he used it often.

"I haven't heard of that before but it's interesting. What kind of magic do you use?" he asked as they made their way into the next hall and approached the stairs.

"Onmyoujutsu. There's a lot of ritual involved in all but the simplest spells." Subaru gestured to the cloth-wrapped bundle in his waistband, which occasionally made a muffled little jingle as the bells attached to the end of the knife handle shifted about. "That's a knife that's also more for rituals than anything else. I'm not much of a physical fighter."
