Night 48: F21-F30 Hallway

[fourstonewalls]

When the intercom finished another deliberately vague note, Lana was already standing at her door, flashlight in hand and scalpel securely in her coat pocket. She'd neglected to find out exactly how the doors worked at night, but the general idea was clear. Some time soon, they would open, and she had to be ready the moment they did

When the intercom went off, Falis stirred a bit from a shallow, poison-induced slumber. Senna had been quiet, but that was okay; the odds were Falis wouldn't have been able to hold a coherent conversation anyways. She stretched an immediately regretted it, curling into a ball on her bed.

Damnit, it was like when Kaito had magically kicked the shit out of her and they'd escaped with the caravan. Or that's what Dominikov had told her. She'd been blissfully unconscious for most of it.

"I didn't get a good look--everything happened so fast." She'd just been trying to find a good place to hit it; she thought she remembered Kratos yelling something, but her main memory of the night was of getting hit; it felt like she'd merely been punched in the chest, except she knew, she knew, in the second before she felt the blood soaking into her shirt that she was hurt so much worse than that.

In answer to the question, "Yeah... I guess I never noticed how cold it gets at night." It was a feeble attempt at a joke; they usually didn't get the chance to get cold when they stayed in.

"Who were you with last night?"

The cover was finally grabbed and pulled haphazardly over them both. "And, yeah, it does get a little cold," Falis said, brushing her lips across her girlfriend's.

Uh-oh. Even in her current state of mind, Hokuto knew she might want to avoid answering that one. "Doesn't matter--it was my own fault."

She kissed Falis back, then snuggled against her again. The extra warmth helped; maybe they could just fall asleep together.

"I don't care if it was your own fault or not. I want to know. Maybe they can tell me more about the beastie."

A true statement. Yes, Falis had other reasons, ones Hokuto was smart enough to pick up on, but she did want to know what monster hurt the girl.

Hokuto tried, but she couldn't think of a way around answering. At least she was reasonably certain the previous night's teammates could handle whatever her girlfriend had to say to them. "Hitsugaya-taichou again, and a soldier I don't know well--Kratos. I forget his family name."

There's a field trip tomorrow, isn't there? Great, just when she could barely walk... her legs were fine, she was just weak, so hopefully she'd be up to moving under her own power again.

Falis made note of the names. She wasn't feeling up to threatening them physically, but she could at least make it very clear that there would be issues if Hokuto was injured while in their care.

"Ok. I think I know Kratos from a bit back." Falis closed her eyes. "Fuck it, pretty girl. I ain't moving so you're stuck here with me. No fucking blaming me if I fall asleep."

"We're all tired," Hokuto murmured. As wonderful as it was to be together like this, they were both in miserable shape. Maybe they'd feel better if they actually slept for a while.

I hope I get an outfit I like tomorrow.
