Round Two

[lynx]

"I said I wanted all the details, you're not giving me all of them. I promise you, I have just ten questions... That'll be all."

Pauses, holds up a finger for each one.

"Why were you there in the first place?" One finger.

"What was your purpose of being there?" Two!

"Why was it forbidden?" Three!

"What was on your mind in choosing to do this?" Four!

"Did anyone ever find out about this act?" Thumb!

"Did you tell anyone where you were going, and if so; did they go with you?" Six!

"Were there any other consequences to your actions?" Seven!

"What was the feelings you felt at the time of going?" Eight!

"Was it thrilling?" Nine!

And.... TEN! "...Why were you so angry?"

[.xander;;]

okay. ten questions. ten shitty answers later, he’d be free. that was simple enough.

1. someone liked a type of flower that only grew there.

2. i was going to get some for her.

3. it was a giant, abandoned dump/wreckage site thing.

4. i wanted to make her happy.

5. yes.

6. no. not before i went.

7. no, they figured being maimed was punishment enough.

8. i was excited, i guess. i couldn’t wait to bring them to her.

9. getting in? no. running away? if being in shock is thrilling, sure.

10. i wasn’t angry at anything.

haha. ten shitty answers, done. and since katze had “promised,” xander wouldn’t have to elaborate on “her.” it had been hard enough to step outside his emotions to say even that.

[lynx]

He had all the answers he needed. A grin. He scribbled in his notes. Heh. Xander gave him a lot more than he ever thought.

The 'her' was the last piece he believed he needed to get the basic picture... If there was a woman involved, and the bitten... He had probably 'turned' that day, and this she, if he was going to go to such lengths for her... She was special.

The case was getting solved, but slowly. "Ah, and... Xander. We have half an hour left. Want anything to eat? A woman dropped off so much food off as thanks for something I did..." Pulls out a gaint thank-you-basket. And there was sushi on there! He took the boxed lunch and set it aside on his desk. Wall already rising. "...Bleh, I don't eat half of this."

[.xander;;]

why katze smiled was beyond xander. he found his answers to be pretty shitty. maybe the therapist was plotting to murder him? yeah, he was pretty sure that could make someone smile.

the wall began to move upwards, exposing katze to xander. okay, he was really stupid. was that…sushi in that basket? and was he offering it to him?

i don’t eat cat food, he wrote with disdain, remaining seated.

[lynx]

"There's all sorts of meat here!" Gasps, damn this was expensive! Sets out piles. Steaks, fish, crabs, shrimp... sushi! And others... Ah! Even chocolates.

"Ahhh.... Does this person not think I feed myself?!" Okay, so he usually skipped meals, but, that wasn't the point here! Huffs a little and then of course rolls his eyes and smiles.

"Mmm, I'll be eating those box-lunches for lunch! Are you positive you don't want anything at all, Xander? You're so thin... You've definately lost weight!"

[.xander;;]

steak. steak came out of that basket. screw the other “meat.” there was a ton of steak. xander felt a giant puddle of drool coming on but stopped himself before it spewed from his mouth. no, he hadn’t eaten lately. yes, he’d lost weight, and fuck yes, he was hungry, but he wasn’t in the mood to act like an animal. alone, it had been okay. but gnawing on a chunk of raw meat like a dog in front of someone else? hell no. he was trying to prove to these people that he wasn’t an animal. and there was no way he could still eat steak like a normal human being.

i don’t want anything, he lied.

[lynx]

Looks at the other and laughs. He knew the other was bsing him once again. He stood up and chuckled softly. "Ahhh, there's no use bsing me now that you know my talent. I don't care HOW you eat, if you're nervous about how, I'll turn around. Just please eat something? I'll let you ask me to do something that's in my aboslute power to do...?"

Flutters eyelashes.

[.xander;;]

oh wow. this guy was totally gay. that explained everything. the niceness, the smiles, the cat. lynx katze was a faggot. no offense to him, of course. that was just how he rolled. okay, now at least xander had some answers of his own.

just give me a steak? the brunet buried his face in his hand.

[lynx]

Takes out a plate (magically), and of course gives the other the steak. He knew he could get the other around! It was pretty fresh too! He smiled, and sat back, waiting for the other to eat.

He of COURSE offered some food to Stan there, he was such a considerate person to even include the guard!

[.xander;;]

mm. steak. and…a fork for good measure. xander poked at the slab of meat for a minute, rather unsure of what to do. he couldn’t really remember. steak was tough. harder to cut than the shit in the cafeteria. it had been so long since he’d actually had the real deal. this one was cooked, which slightly put him off, but… his stomach growled almost as animalistic-ly as he did. in one motion, he jabbed the fork into the steak and picked it up. hey, it was better than just shoving his face into the plate. he was making progress. at least he was until he started gnawing on the side of it. it did taste a little weird cooked, but it was still a hell of a lot more flavorful than the junk food he ate every single day. om nom nom. go xander go.

“i don’t have a lunch break,” stan said matter-of-factly to lynx.
