Bridge blinked and stood, even if it was rather shakily, following Scipio out.

Scipio walked nearly silently along the wall, searching for the break room. By now he really just wanted to prove a point and have some fun.

It felt…strange to be outside the cell after spending so long inside of it. Bridge looked around, curious but still wary as to what might be outside.

He found it, and it was miraculously empty. He pushed open the unlocked door and walked inside, laying down on the couch.

Bridge took a hesitant step inside, eventually deciding it was best to stay closest to Scipio here. He walked forward and sat down next to him.

"And now, we let them panic for a while and think I've actually gotten loose." Scipio grinned, laying his hands on his stomach.

"You don't think they'll look in here?" Bridge asked nervously, leaning a little closer to him.

"Course not. They'll run for the exits. Almost any escapee would dash straight to freedom. I'm just here to mess with them, though. It'll be a while till they check here."

"Oh." He paused, relaxing just a slight bit. "Okay."

"So, go ahead and relax or sit down. It'll be a long time before we'll touch real furniture in a while." Scipio heard alarms and looked up. "Oh look, they've noticed."

Bridge flinched a little at the alarms, looking up sharply before bringing his knees to his chest again.

Scipio lay his head back on the couch, staring at the ceiling with a slight smirk. "This is fun."

"How…how long has it been since you've…been out of the cell?" He asked, looking over to Scipio with those innocent doe eyes of his.

"Quite some time. It's nice. Well, I'm going to go shower." Scipio swung his legs off the couch and went into the bathroom.

Bridge pressed his lips together, rather nervous being in the break room alone now. He didn't know when anyone was going to come back in, let alone if Bridge would be the only one in the room when they did.

Scipio came back in about five to ten minutes, wearing the same clothes as before, but with very fluffy hair. He lay back down on the couch, noting that still no guards had come in.

Bridge glanced up as he came in, glad that he was back. But his hair. It…looked like a cloud. A very fluffy, black cloud.

Scipio stared at the ceiling again. "It feels a lot better to shower in a private area rather than the community ones. You should try it."

Bridge paused. "Can I?"

"I mean, yeah. I just did, so…" Scipio shrugged. "You're welcome to. The guards haven't found us yet."

"Oh." He stood. "Okay."

Scipio crossed his ankles and watched the door, blowing some hair out of his eyes. Nothing happened while Bridge was showering.

((I enjoy how they both are just entirely ignoring the previous scene and any side effects that went along with it))
Bridge returned in the same clothes as well, looking mostly the same: The same golden eyes, pale skin, black freckles, and coarse white hair.

(Yep. It'll come back. Scipio just ignores things he doesn't want to deal with sometimes)
"Oh, you're back. Feels nice, doesn't it?" Scipio smiled a bit, looking over at Bridge. His hair still hadn't lost any of its volume.

((its just funny to me, having this long emotional scene and then completely ignoring it))
Bridge nodded with a small smile, sitting back on the couch, cross-legged this time. Some of his anxiety seemed to have washed away, although certainly not all. And then his gaze returned to Scipio's hair. It looked…so soft. If only some could fall so that Bridge could fix it.

(Yeah XD)
Scipio observed Bridge and where the other's eyes were going. "You know, you can touch it if you want."

"I…I can?" He asked hesitantly.

"Go ahead." Scipio sat up so it would be easier for Bridge.

Bridge smiled just the tiniest bit - a small, shy one - and reached to touch his hair. It was softer than before, and…well, Bridge liked it.

Scipio closed his eyes and sat cross legged as well, letting his hands hang loosely in his lap.
