" I sure am getting some pretty visitors today huh? " Eiden starts, then suddenly pauses to drill a stare into his pinkheaded visitor, " but y'know ... you actually seem familiar --- wait no! Don't tell me yet!! "

He lifts his hand to the air while pinching in between his eyebrows with the other. A moment goes before he leans closer towards the glass, his hand now covering his mouth from the side.

Eiden's got a talent in getting along with people and it seems like detention center's no exception. Who would want to be alone in a place like this anyway. Eiden has no business in coming easy target for bullying or whatever else they might be up to in here. Numbers are safety and so on....

But it might not be so easy with your cellmate huh?

Eiden sighs. Guess he'll just have to make more friends...? Or let them be. Whichever works the best he supposes. Nervously he waits as the guards open the door.

" ... he's out? "

Guard shrugs stepping out before he double locks the door.

What kind of attitude is that?! Aren't you the guard here?!

Eiden sighs tossing himself to the bed, hands under his head. The silence after some noisy chatter in the canteen feels strange but... He might have to get used to it for now... Or at least til the trial is over anyway....

How come these things always happen to me...?

On his way home Eiden stops by a glass window - the fabric hanging behind products looks exactly like the one he'd use during the cold nights outside in Solaria. Dante always brought it along, they'd even shared it few times.

" ...it's not on sale huh. Too bad.. "

Maybe he could ask if they'd be willing to part with it for a good price. He doesn't want to seem obnoxious.

He's almost about to enter the store when the hairs on his neck suddenly stand up. At the same time recognising what it is has his heart skip an excited beat but not without mixed feeling of fear. It's not any of the clan members but who else has this sort of essence.

Eiden gulps as he glances up, blinking at the sight before him.

" Man this is just grim.... "

The canteen's pretty quiet today - Eiden must have come a touch too early and everyone's still sleeping. Which is fine, it's not what he's moaning about.

It's the food. They said it's some type of casserole but appearance suggests something like 'undetermined beige goop with bits'. Even the orphanage had tastier looking foods, bland or not.

" Can't waste any though... "

Eiden's about to take the brave first spoonful when he spots something from the corner of his eye - right in front of him. Without realizing he ends up making a singular scream, then quickly covering his mouth and waving hands for the guards not to worry.

" Who-... "

" Oh? "

Eiden eyes brows rise as sits down eyes on the stranger to make a first visit (besides his lawyer) in the detention center. He wasn't expecting any today and yet this man made his appearance. He's fairly sure he'd remember a face like this.

" Aww shucks.... "
