Night 56: Main Hallway, 1-Center

[age_of_kings]

[ from here]Tolten tried to seem confident as he took the lead, proceeding further into the dark corridors. There had been nothing overtly threatening so far, but his heart was racing in his chest even so. He couldn't shake a sense of lurking danger, of shadowing hidden fear. He tried to tell himself he was being foolish, but experience told him

The troll walked along with a bit of a sway, as if following a melody only he could hear. He wasn't all that focused on anything aside from getting to their next destination, and if Ritsuka was worried that the topic of conversation might have bothered him, then he might be surprised to learn that Gamzee had all but forgotten about it already.

He was still keeping a eye out for his friends occasionally, but walking about the halls at night probably wasn't the best place to find them. Even he was coming to realize that. They'd get where they needed to go tonight, maybe he could find some face paint, and then he'd continue to look out for them tomorrow. If Tavros and one of the humans was here, then there was no reason the others shouldn't show up eventually.

Asking for confirmation about which direction to go in instead of just heading in that direction might have been a better idea, but he didn't even think about it.

This wasn't a way Ritsuka was used to going. It would eventually lead to the same place though, and so he followed now that Gamzee decided to take the lead. Now that he was lagging a step or two behind, he had the opportunity to really look at his roommate. The guy was walking without a flashlight and moving around without much difficult, and yet he said he was new. There were so many things that just didn't add up with him. The horn, the clown worship, the weird fashion, the fact that he called himself a troll? Ritsuka had met some weird people, but this took the cake.

To make it better? He was apparently forgetful. Wonderful. He had to appreciate the irony of their situation; being roommates. A boy who wanted nothing more than to remember and one who didn't care about forgetting paired up in the same room. Someone up top was laughing at him and Ritsuka could only shake his head at the thought. There was no helping what was already set and so he'd have to make the best of it.
