sits in his cell, staring off at nothing.

leans in front of his stare, waving at him.

jumps and scoots away. "H-hello...."

smiles a bit. "Hello, Ari." She tells him, slipping in his food. "Are you doing okay today?"

looks the food over with no interest. "I guess...."

figured this would happen, so she slips him a bag of chips from the vending machine. "Did everything work out with Soren?"

winces and turns quickly to look at her. "H-how did you know?"

shakes her head. "You told me to ask about him being in Solitary...sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. Did something else_

happen?"

shakes his head quickly. "Nei, nothing happened... I... I just had another guard tell me that he was out..."

frowns deeply at that. They just couldn't seem to keep prisoners in could they? "Did he hurt you?"

glares at the floor. "Nei...."

looks worried about him. "I see."

keeps glaring, ignoring the food.

sensing the mood. "Anything else you would like me to do?"

shakes his head. "N-nei... there's nothing you can do..."

smiles a bit. "Nothing at all? Anything you want? A special snack?"

frowns deeper and keeps shaking his head. "N-nei... You don't have to do anything..."

bad. "Well if there's anything you do want, just let me know in the future."

nods a bit. "I won't, but thanks...."

picks up the tray and bag of chips and tries to slide it back out. "I'm not hungry.... You can take it back..."

closed the door. "Eat it later then."

blinks at the closed door and sighs before leaning against the wall. He didn't think he could eat for a while.

concerned, she can tell something happened. "Even if you're not hungry, you should try."

shakes his head. "Nei... I'm still full from my last meal..." Which was true since he had two people sneak him food and he was too scared_

to want to eat.

wanted to pat his head and tell him that it would be okay, but she figured it would do no help. "If you want to talk, I'm here."

glances at her before glancing down at the ground. "N-nei... I'm sure you have better things to do with your time..."

shakes her head. "Not at the moment."

sighs. "I... I don't really like to talk..."

sits down outside his cell.

"It is good to sometimes."

stares at the floor. "Nei... It just hurts...."

frowns. "I suppose it does matter what it is about.

nods. "I don't really want to talk right now..."

sighs and nods. "All right."

glances at the door. "Why do you even want to talk to me?"

stands up, dusting herself off. "It's good to know people you work with."

glances back at a wall. "Mmm..."

nods. "And you looked like you could use someone to talk to."

pauses. "Nei... I need to talk to someone.... but it's not you... and it would only make everything worse if I talked to you."

confused. "What do you mean?"

shakes his head. "N-never mind... it's not important..."

pauses. "So you are in trouble."

freezes and glances at the door. "I... I guess that would be one way to describe it..."

sighs and shakes her head. "Sorry I can't be of more use to you."

leans back against the wall. "N-nei... you can't..." He didn't want to involve anymore people in this. He didn't want to tell another guard_

and was regretting telling just the one.

sighs, running a hand through her bangs. "Would you like to be moved to another cell?"

blinks and nods. "J-ja... as long as it's still in solitary... I... that would help a lot..."

smiles a bit at that and moves to unlock the cell. "There is another open one, so it's no problem."

stands up and walks over to the door. "Thanks...."

nods. "Grab your food~"

had forgotten about the food. He blinks and steps back, grabbing his tray before returning.

lightly takes his arm, leading him along to a cell farther away.

lets her take his arm but glances away. He wasn't too comfortable around girls...

he is amusing, but she wasn't too good with men either. So they were probably equally as awkward. But it helped that she wasn't scared of_

him like she was some of the other inmates. She lead him to his new cell and allowed him to enter it. "Here you are."

walks in and sets his tray down. "Thanks..."

closes and locks the door behind him. "I am not sure what's going on, but I hope this helps."

nods. "It will... and... and can you tell as few people as possible I switched...?"

nods. "Who?"

blinks, confused. "Just only the people who need to know... I guess..."

smiles a bit. "Well, I will tell the guards obviously so they don't think you've escaped."

nods. "Th-thanks..."

| "I should probably be on my way now.."

glances back at her. "Thanks... for helping, I guess..."

| "Any time!"

sits down in the cell and looks everything over as best he can.
