Given her breaks had been very brief, Ara was restless and frustrated. For the sake of safety, the elven woman was still strapped to the medbay's bed. The burns around her neck were covered in gauze and she had taken to humming some song Zeta had showed her, just so she wasn't stuck listening to the sound of clicking clocks or people walking by. It was maddening still, and had she not decided to keep as much composure as she could, she'd be fighting against the restraints continously.

It'd be a futile attempt too.

As she waited for either a chance to stretch her legs or the hour to become late enough that she'd just fall asleep, Ara decided to count the tiles above her head for....well, she couldn't even remember.

Silencer had been surprised to find her missing from her cell still. Had it been that bad? oops. He supposed he had held the button a while. He knew where she'd be, so carrying the bbq bushcat sandwich he'd brought along he headed instead for the med bay, only to see her strapped to a bed. "Yikes" he snorted as he made his way closer with a bit of a limp as if he'd hurt a leg or something. Luckily she couldnt see the swollen black eye he had behind the mask, but he wasn't here for any treatment.

"How long you been strapped to this thing?" he asked as he set the sandwich down on the side table, reaching for one of her wrist straps and lingering over that but not quite doing anything with it, two red lenses peered down at her face from the mask. "Looks borin' down there."

RookLast Wednesday at 3:04 AM
Her attention immediately shifted to the Agent, or rather his sandwich, though his limp had been taken in account too. "Too long, don't know how much longer. Did someone beat one of your legs?" She asked with a chuckle, looking away from the food and back to his masked face. "I've spent my time doing more exciting things, yes. Are you here for more? Bit easier with me strapped down, but I don't think it's much of a change from the safety of bars."

The words were taunting, even if she was still drained from their last encounter. "Did the Doctor send you..?" Ara asked, turning her head to watch what his hand was doing.

DeguLast Wednesday at 3:16 AM
Silencer chortled "Call it a friendly tussle." he mused and touched idly at the buckle, seeming to contemplate what to do with it "Oh don't be like that." he mumbled and unbuckled one of her wrists slowly "No trouble, or you're dead." he warned and would reach for the sandwich to offer it to her hand "pulled Bushcat barbecue...we had a few bushcats lying around recently"

When asked if the doctor sent him he snorted "No. I'm just here. I wasn't sent."

RookLast Wednesday at 3:21 AM
The unexpected unbuckling of her wrist was met with a raised eyebrow and obvious relief, since she immediately went to dealing with an itch here and there. Much better. She'd accept the sandwich, but sort of waved it in his direction. "Don't tell me what not to be like, you electrocuted me because you couldn't handle the same stuff you were dishing out." She immediately shifted to sit up, so she could eat a bit easier. "I always liked bushcat, good meat. So, what brings you?" Ara would ask, finishing off a couple more bites. "Thanks for this."

DeguLast Wednesday at 3:36 AM
silencer grunted "Yeah yeah, I over reacted." he waved a hand dismissively, he wasn't proud of letting his anger get the better of him. "I dunno." he shrugged a shoulder and rubbed the back of his neck through his hood. "Don't mention it." she'd asked what brought him and he seemed to ponder on that for the longest time.

"Dunno" he finally said, unhelpfully.

"You met any of the others yet? ..." he tilted his head to try and look at her neck "You healed up at all yet? surely you don't need to be all strapped up in here still."

RookLast Wednesday at 3:42 AM
She didn't take long to finish off the remainder of the sandwich and she'd dust herself off, while making sure she didn't drop any meat on herself. "That hit the spot." When he confessed he didn't know, she nodded up at him and twitched an ear. "I met the young man, the one that helped capture me. Smart kid, wasted potential. A bit sad." Much like Quinne, she would've muttered. "Just a bit, I imagine. I figure your boss wants to see me before I'm back in the cell, and I doubt any of you would let me have free range of the medbay."

She'd gesture around. "It wouldn't take me long to find the scalpels, heh."

DeguLast Wednesday at 3:49 AM
Silencer's head tilted forward a little as soon as he heard they'd spoken to Strategist. "Eh, yeah." he let out a long and heavy sigh "Yeah I'm sure you know sixty ways to kill someone with a chair too. So uh, the kid, how'd that go?" he asked with a rather more blatant increase in interest.

He twisted a bit to regard her "He's a good kid, aint he? still not too far gone..." what an odd thing to say.

RookLast Wednesday at 3:54 AM
"Chairs are rather handy." Ara said with a smirk, rubbing at one of her eyes. "Went well enough, he told me he managed to break into my tablet, which isn't an easy task. We talked about his work here, how he got here. He was nice enough to feed me cake and water, but didn't trust me enough to remove the wrist strap."

She inclined her head. "He is a good kid, I'm hoping he and I talk more. He told me he's here, because no one else would have him. What a depressing thing to hear from such a young man."

DeguLast Wednesday at 4:06 AM
Silencer burst out laughing, motioning to the strap "Smarter than me then!" the laughter rattled and wheezed in his chest for a moment before dying out "Yeah he's a smart one, too smart for his own good sometimes" he smirked beneath the mask, but then Ara recounted what Strategist had told her and that smirk faded entirely.

"Yeah." was all he could say for a moment, reaching into his hood to run his hand through his hair, revealing small glimpses of dark and white streaked hair. "...I bet you'd take him if you had a chance. You got quite a group already seems like"

RookLast Wednesday at 4:10 AM
Ara nodded her agreement, even if she'd find out later how disastrous for her that tablet-cracking would be. "I can see why the Eye would want him, especially given his age. I wonder if I'll meet the others." She wasn't particularly keen, but she hadn't much choice.

"I would, but it should be his choice, too. I feel like he feels he belongs here, with you all. You seem attached, despite what you said to me at my cell." The elf pointed out, watching him. "Would you drop him?"

DeguLast Wednesday at 4:19 AM
Silencer's hand slipped down to idly scratch at his chest "No....I wouldn't" he leaned back to look up at the ceiling "Wasn't always the way for me. Didn't use t' care about anyone much till he came along, kid reminded me i got a heart in there after all, albeit a fucked up, twisted little thing" he tapped at his sternum.

"He's like a son to me. But you know as well as I that we can't just leave." she knew about Shadows implant, right? "so that tablet of yours had pretty intense security on it and he still managed to crack it?"

RookLast Wednesday at 4:22 AM
"Well, it's nice to know that was just boasting, despite the security cameras." She assumed there were some here and there. She'd rest her arm across her lap, eyeing the straps wrapped around her ankles. "But, it's not an unexpected family. Humans taking care of humans, despite that you're tormenting everything else."

Ara glanced over again. "What's stopping you? Nothing has been told to me." She'd nod to his question, smiling faintly. "Yeah, it needed to. I have a lot of important stuff on there."

DeguLast Wednesday at 4:53 AM
Silencer smirked softly at the comment about the family. Yeah Humans were something else "Can't without dyin. Wish it was simple.... but that's interesting. Never been my strong point, technology. Maybe where its relevant to my interests but not on a level like he's at." he glanced to the side, thinking deeply on that. He might have a plan brewing.

"Important stuff like what? spose it doesnt matter now if he cracked it anyway."

RookLast Wednesday at 5:17 AM
[ack, i thought i replied!]
"I'll keep that in mind." Ara said, though it seemed to concern her. Part of her did want to show something Strategist better, and now that seemed unlikely. "Well, I'm sure you all have your own thing. Kids and their tech, right?" She chuckled, brushing some hair out of her face. "I'd rather not say, but I'm sure you'll hear something."

DeguLast Wednesday at 5:36 AM
"I'm sure I will, the kid talks to me anyway." though, they hadn't talked much lately but he was aiming to change that. "Alright, I'd better head off before they think im a sympathiser" he laughed and reached for the strap "Wrist in, don't make it difficult for me." he warned.

"Did the kid even comment on you not bein human or did he just hang out with you like you were just like the rest of us?"

RookLast Wednesday at 5:44 AM
She moved her wrist back in place with an exasperated sigh and she moved to lay back down, shifting to get comfortable before she was fully strapped down again. "Yeah, we wouldn't want that." She muttered, rolling her eyes and she'd curl her toes a bit. "He was here, because he was curious. Much like you, I suppose. I could tell some of the things I said annoyed him, he scoffed at my sympathy for Quinne. But, like most kids, curiousty was the only reason he came over."

DeguLast Wednesday at 5:47 AM
Silencer paused in the task of buckling for a moment "He did?" there was a lingering moment where he seemed to be deep in thought but then finished securing the buckle and checking it was done properly. If the kid ever found out.... bah, not worth thinking about it. He stood up slowly "Maybe i'll see you again. We'll see." and that was all he said, stopping himself from offering automatic pleasantries like 'goodnight' to this woman. So, with that done, he turned to limp out.
