"Ooh look, we must be closer to where they first brought us in," She said, pointing to a sign that listed 'incoming occupants' as one of the hallways they could turn down.

Jay nodded a little. "Huh. Yeah, we are." He replied slowly.

Delia glanced at him and then at Leo, "Do you want to continue this way? Or head back towards whatever you want to go see?"

Jay shrugged. "I don't have a preference." he replied with a slight smile. Leo trotted beside them.

"Don't make me choose," She whined, looking up at him and smiling, "It's your choice."

Jay smiled. "Let's keep going this way until they stop us, alright?" he replied with a quick, slightly mischievous smile.

"Alright," She agreed, nodding and smiling back at him before continuing down the hallway. It had been so long since she had to worry about being caught, and now the rush of maybe getting caught was fun.

Jay grinned at her, and followed along beside her. This would be interesting, seeing how far they could get before getting caught.

The amount of soldiers and nurses seemed to increase dramatically as they continued to walk, though no one paid them much attention. A small grin formed onto her face and it seemed like they could really go anywhere.

Jay smiled again as they walked, realizing that the nurses and doctors didn't seem to care where they went or what they did.

They continued walking and Delia looked over at Jay with an excited face, happy that they hadn't been caught yet. As she looked over though, Caspian came out of one of the rooms, seeing them in the hall immediately and smiling momentarily before frowning.
"Hey Delia, Jay, Leo, nice seeing you guys again. You three aren't supposed to be down here, you know that?" He asked, walking up to them and stopping.

Jay smiled at her, then the smile vanished when Caspian appeared. He narrowed his eyes a little. "There weren't any signs saying anything about that." he replied.

Caspian shrugged, motioning for the two of them to head back the other way as he walked alongside them, "Normally someone would've stopped you by now, that's why we don't have a sign, but since they didn't I'll just bring you back."

Delia made a face but did what he said, turning and starting back the other way as Caspian walked between the two of them.

Jay rolled his eyes, but did as Caspian said. "Alright. If you say so, I suppose." He replied, shaking his head a little.

"So, what have you been up to besides going places you shouldn't be?" Caspian asked, glancing at Delia as he asked the question. Either of them could answer but he seemed to care more about her answer than Jay's.

She shrugged as best she could while using her crutches, listening to Leo follow behind them only a few steps, "Not much, sampling the food, getting some sleep, settling in, the usual."

Leo stuck close to Delia and Jay, growling softly at Caspian.
Jay was silent, letting Delia speak. He looked down at Leo. "Sh." he said softly.

Caspian smiled and nodded, looking over at Leo and Jay for only a moment when Leo growled. "How do you like it here so far? It's a nice place, don't you agree?"

Delia nodded, smiling and looking over at him after glancing at Jay, "It's really nice, I love it here. The only thing I don't like is the amount of people."

Jay let out a soft chuckle, and picked up Leo, petting him to calm him down. He scratched behind Leo's ears.

"I mean, going from almost no one to hundreds of people is a huge change," She continued with a smile as both Jay and Caspian chuckled, "Don't you two agree?" Once again her eyes flicked between the two of them and she eventually settled on focusing back on the floor.

"It is a lot to get used to, though you have your friend here with you so it must be a little easier," Caspian said with a shrug.

Jay nodded. "Mhm." he agreed with Delia. He glanced at Caspian for a moment, then looked at Delia again, still holding Leo and petting him gently.

She nodded, stopping for a minute to readjust her grip on her crutches and quickly catching up to them, "It's made it a lot easier, Jay is a huge help, especially when it comes to carrying things. And Leo keeps me occupied since I have to make sure he doesn't get into too much trouble."

Jay smiled. "Thanks." He said with a laugh, even though he knew she wasn't talking to him. Leo barked happily at the sound of his name.

Caspian laughed but Delia just smiled and shrugged, looking over at Jay and Leo, "It's true though, they're amazing."
Finally they reached the cafeteria and Caspian motioned for them to keep going as he stopped, "Well, it was nice talking to you Delia, stay out of any more restricted areas please and I'll see you around."

"Right, because I'm just the invisible tail." Jay mumbled, walking over to Delia's side and setting Leo down. Leo wagged his tail happily, then growled at Caspian.

"Hey, watch out for her," He said, slapping Jay's shoulder in sort of a friendly gesture before laughing at Leo's little growl and leaving.
Delia watched him leave and shook her head, scowling at his retreating form, "He bugs me. I don't like that he doesn't acknowledge your existence."

Jay bit back his own growl at the touch, stiffening and pressing his lips in a firm line. He sighed, and looked at Delia. "Yeah. Me too." he replied with a tight smile.

"He seemed happy when I called you my friend too," She continued, her mind working as she looked up at Jay and then at Leo, "I wonder if he's bothering us to figure out if we're together."

Jay nodded a little. "Mhm. Nothing makes a guy happier than hearing another get friend zoned." He replied with a laugh.

"Then you should be ecstatic," She replied with a laugh, understanding what he was talking about, "Since only one of you two are friendzoned, and it's not the one I'm talking to right now." Delia shrugged and glanced at Leo with a smile, "You don't like Caspian either, do you?"

Jay laughed a little. "Alright." He replied. He tried to ignore the strange feeling that flickered through his chest at that. He looked at Leo. Leo wagged his tail happily, and nudged her leg with his nose.
