Cecil was starting to wonder if there was a way he could dull the throbbing pain in his side. He could heard Austin over the radio talking about drinking and wondered briefly where he could partake of said drinks. Maybe not the best of ideas given the circumstances but could he really blame anyone for wanting to slip away from the madness if only for a second. No really.
The only thing that kept him walking and playing games was that he was worried about those of his faction and a few outside it. It was because of that worry that he started to check on the few that he had seen earlier hoping that they had managed to buy their freedom already.

Rorrow was wandering around between games. He spotted a familiar tower and walked over to him. "Cecil...everything alright?"
He showed concern for the other male. Surprising himself that he still had it in him. He thought this place took that right out of him. With everything he was going through at the moment the lack of concern for others would of been a warning he was losing himself. He couldn't let that happen. Glancing up at the bigger male Rorrow blinked. "You look like you need a drink..."
Hearing a familiar voice Cecil turned to find Rorrow. Smiling softly down at the other man he let his features ease of the stress and worry a little. "Everything's fine, just had a little too much adventure for one day." He gestured to his side where blood had soaked his jersey and bandages were visible through the small hole.
"I got all patched up though but I think I could use a drink. What about you?" Cecil reached out to tap the collar around Rorrow's throat. "I was hoping you would have this off by now."

Rorrow shook his head. "Sadly not yet...i'm not even close, but at least i've seen a few people I was worried about...saw my grandmother earlier. Thank god, she didn't have this on....I think I saw the back of my brother's head. Gut feeling says he's alright. I'll search for him later on tho..."
He walked over to the end of the nearby bar, seeing a few of their fellows further down. He sighed. "Even if we're not on campus grounds I hope the others keep in mind they are still representing the school..." he blinked then laughed at himself. "Oh cripes...we're in the middle of Hell and I'm still a goody two shoes..."
He lowered his head onto one arm as he laughed bitterly. Turning to look at the other male he gave a small smile. "How far away are you from saving yourself?"
Cecil frowned the concern flooding back to him. "It will be alright." He reached out to place a hand on Rorrow's shoulder. "Charlie, Corey, and Caroline won't let anyone be left behind. Just do your best and we'll all be back home soon enough." It was odd how he now considered the dorm his home but really it was the closest thing he had. It was probably the only thing any of them had. "Oh! But you got to see your family that's great!" His heart ached at the thought of his own, his smoky gaze lifting just briefly to search the room for people that were likely not there.
"I hope your grandmother is doing alright in this. I met an older lady in zone one who I worry about. Granny Smith she called herself." He chuckled. "Sweet lady. Said she would make me a pie." He amused himself with the memory of the lady who played video games and had a superman cape on. As much as he worried he was almost certain she probably gave everyone hell if they were asking for it.
He managed a small chuckle at Rorrow's upstanding example of school pride but it ended in a groan as he pressed a hand to his side. "There is nothing wrong with being good." Cecil smiled though he shrugged a bit when Rorrow asked about his own coins. "I am close. At least close enough that Charlie and Rook can get off my case about it. I would really like to earn more hopefully get someone else out but the...bullet wound was a bit of a set back."

Rorrow smiled as he patted the hand on his shoulder. Taking a deep breath he straightened himself. This was hardly the place to break down in...he didn't want to give those monsters the satisfaction of breaking one of them. He looked at the other male then. "Home...home is where the heart is...and I'm missing the campus so..." He chuckled. That was a bad spin on a movie quote. "God, I screwed that quote up..."
He nodded. "Yeah, It was good to see...ah...Cecil." he turned to the other. His hand reaching up to touch his shoulder lightly. "That's my grandmother...Mrs. Smith. She's my Mother's Mother. She's out of here...and trying to get me and my brother out too, bless her." Rorrow laughed then, mindful of the wound he leaned on the other. Small world after all, he thought to himself. He straightened and nodded. "If she does make that pie, please share. I miss her pies so much..."
On the subject of Coins Rorrow sighed. "Wonder if these monsters will get what's coming to them at the end of all this? Probably not...seems like this is something they do regularly...that announcer said..Tenth Annual...could all this be a set up by them?"
He was scared to know that answer...

Cecil smiled at the quote but he couldn't say he was completely familiar with it. "No, I like it just like that." It was fitting.
"Your Granny? Then she's okay then?" Cecil was glad to know that and the relief was clear to see on his face though he chuckled about the comment on pie. "I dunno I do like pie I might be hard pressed to share." He teased. "But I am glad that she is doing okay. If you see her again tell her and your brother to avoid the dark room." He gestured to his side. "Its not worth it."
He looked around at the mention of their captures and gave a bit of a sigh. "Tenth annual?" He had missed that on the radio. "So this has been going on for a long while then." It sent a creepy shiver down his spine as a different sort of worry crept up. "I don't know what will happen but we need to focus on getting out of here. Go get more coins. I'll check back with you later. If you are worried about how much you have talk to Charlie. He will help you." He smiled down at Rorrow. "We'll get out of here together alright?"

Rorrow nodded. "Yeah...thanks Cecil. I'll keep that in mind..." he stood, paused for a moment then leaned down to quickly kiss the other on the cheek. "Stay safe. I'll see you when we get out of here.."
Then promptly fled like the hounds of hell were on his heels.
Cecil smiled and didn't think much of Rorrow leaning in close. The area was rather noisy but he hadn't quite expected the kiss against his cheek. His eyes grew a little wider, pink tinting his cheeks as blood rushed to his head. He barely heard Rorrow over the loud thrum of his heart but he gave a subtle nod. "Y-yeah. You too."
Rorrow was gone like the wind had carried him away and Cecil was left watching him go. What had just happened?
He rose from the table a moment later still thinking about it. Maybe Rorrow was just overly friendly?
