Their closeness had served as a diversion; an easy excuse for why Aichi would be carrying around a sleeping Tasuku in his arms. But for any curious eyes that might have encountered them along the way, they would never identify anything wrong with the scenario.

With the subject in tact and no longer capable of resisting, Aichi departed the building, strolling away in search of a separated building. Somewhere he could keep Tasuku well out of harm's eye, away from the view of unworthy others, who might interfere. Whom he might turn to in pleading to help rescue Aichi.

            Instead, they would be damned together; hidden far from the anarchic society they'd watched fester in the building since their arrival. And fortunate as it was, there appeared to have been a couple of storage buildings set up in various posts near the edge of the two-mile radius, well out of the reach of unwanted intruders.

Entering into the structure that they reached, Aichi took care to seal the door, laying Tasuku onto the ground; apparently there were few comforts, but among the stashed clutter, they might have been capable of establishing some form of minimal living standards. All that mattered was that no-one would interfere, there was threat to the budding campaign already with gears spinning furiously.

By the time the two of them had retreated into the building, the storm had given them plenty more lashings; horrendously drenched and freezing from the pelting rain that had soaked through their clothing, directly into their skin. Tasuku still led the way, nudging his hapless follower with the hold upon his hands; the only scrap of warmth between the two of them.

Aichi had said nothing, still catatonic since reaching his limit and limping after his second rescuer of the night. The thud of the doors behind him closed and, once again, hand taken, leading the both of them down the corridor, dripping heavily from the rain they'd brought in with them, but all the while, Tasuku had done what it took to keep them safe and well, uttering words of sorts along the way; many of which fell on deaf ears, but the effort, if Aichi would wake up enough to recall it, would have been gratefully received and his appreciation made clear.

        Through the hallway, the sodden pair made their way and, at some point, however many minutes, they'd returned to the room, ushered inside and sneaking in so not to draw any unwanted attention from any straying night-dweller who might have happened upon them, when they'd have to explain themselves if probed.

--It was just about time to begin seeking true liberation from this prison, plans currently undergoing their progression as Kyoya set up all of his most submissive pawns upon the playing board. Though truthfully, it would not come without some greater sacrifice.. but after all, it was for the common good. He simply had to enact it--and what better way than to summon his greatest tool by his side to begin phase one? Today's meeting would be thorough; Kyoya could only hope that Tasuku was at his highest attentiveness and ready to play the part of his sword.

The Boy Wonder has arrived.

Ah, always so punctual... thank you, Azi-Dahaka, and with an eager smirk tugging at thin lips, Kyoya folded his hands behind his back humbly, greeting the younger who entered obediently upon command.

A simple mission; he'd promised to be careful.

                   Scavenging for food couldn't be that difficult, even for an ordinary human. Miraculously, he'd regained some strength through resting with Rin, recuperating from the ordeal thus far. He might have looked a mess (and that was putting it nicely) but he felt marginally better.

Trudging through the snow was a delicate, cautious process; he couldn't afford to miss any of those secret packages that the Groundskeeper had disclosed were scattered throughout the forest. Nor could he afford another run-in with those experiments. Once was bad enough, twice would be his head on a platter.

With his slowly returning strength, his strides were longer, as opposed to the hobbling that had essentially been his limit beforehand, hands clutching his coat and folding it over his chest whilst on the lookout.

                                    But what appeared only made his skin crawl and his stomach fall out.

                 --Another experiment stomping about behind a veil of trees nearby; grunting and snorting in search of prey.

Aichi's blood ran cold, body rigid in terror and failing to respond to the demanding screams to flee. And worse, it spotted him!

Shoving through the trees, it showed no understanding of mercy and, finally, Aichi's legs sprang to life, carrying him in the opposite direction with a terrified scream. The thrusts of his right arm agitated his damaged wrist, but he had to bite down for now; what mattered more was getting out of this alive.

And given his lack of physical capabilities, let alone the weighted burden hanging inside of him; the outlook was bleak. And what's more, he was going to leave his partner behind in this hellish experience.

side with me..
