Night 51: Ballroom

[from here]The flickering glow of torches seeped up the stairs as Momo lead her group down into the belly of the beast. It was a warmer glow, inviting almost, though the shinigami knew better than to expect such a welcome. On the contrary, the warmth was a warning unto itself

Auditory peace spoke very little to genuine safety, however. Sasuke walked after Aidou with the slide-drop he'd learned to use for stairs, ears strained for anything other than the shuffle of their own movements and breath.

So Aidou had only sort of known Gaara, even though they'd been roommates? That probably meant that Gaara hadn't been around for much time before; more than that, it had been a while ago. So this was more or less a clean slate for the redhead. Not that that was necessarily a good thing, but Zack didn't think it was something he should drive himself crazy about, either

There was much information to be picked apart that were buried within the last minutes. The blond had been his cellmate. Like the boy he was roomed with currently. When Gaara was here last. He could wonder at the interactions, but if the man was the same as he was currently, the Suna-nin couldn't see the conversations going far. So, in that, at least, he shouldn't be concerned about a lack of security

Aidou was as pleased as the next person to find the ballroom was also unoccupied--at least by any of Landel’s threats. Company was not ideal, but at least other prisoners were easier to deal with
