[ After his conversation with Ham, Tenn knows exactly where he's going and what he's going to do, no questions asked. He passes by everyone he runs into along the way, sparing only a wave or nod of acknowledgement if he needs to before he makes his way back to the housing area.
It's inconvenient that he and Riku are on opposite sides of the area, but it's alright. Riku's room number is at least easy enough to remember.
He promptly knocks on Riku's door, hoping that he'll be inside. ]
[ It doesn't take long at all for Riku to answer the door. Actually... if Tenn's paying attention, he might hear a dull thud. Did Riku fall off the bed in his scramble to get to the door....?
He'll never admit it. Unless Tenn asks.
Either way, he opens the door, greeting his brother with a smile. ]
[ His eyes flicker to the blankets before they close for a moment. Tenn sighs and makes his way over towards Riku's bed, making himself at home by sitting on the edge of it. ]
Never mind. We have other things we should talk about.
[ He clasps his hands together in his lap, leaning forward. ]
[ Though he suspects that won't happen for some...pretty fucked up reasons. Wanting to keep Riku alive to see him fall, etc. Who knows...god. Tenn feels sick just thinking about it. ]
You still seem like you're in high spirits, despite everything.
[ But it's Tenn, so whatever he did to make sure Riku gets his medicine... ah, even Tenn-nii can be scary, too.
He's quiet, though, at that. Riku looks thoughtful. ]
Actually... I'm kind of worried. What he said... no one really knows each other here, except for a few of us. There are people who need things desperately... using that against them is really awful. I might not be willing to take someone's life just for a wish, especially one we don't even know will get granted afterward...
But you were right, Tenn-nii. Not everyone is like that. I don't want to think badly of anyone here, especially because I don't know them, but...
[ He sighs and hangs his head. ]
I guess all we can really do is watch after each other.
[ There we go. He's glad Riku isn't being blindly optimistic about this; that's what would get him into trouble. He's quiet as Riku speaks, and his expression mellows out a little when he realizes Riku's taking this seriously. ]
That really is all we can do. I don't know who else to trust, but I know you'd never stoop that low to chase after your dreams, Riku.
[ So, yes, Tenn's absolutely saying that he trusts him. ]
For now, we should tell each other what we can. Who seems trustworthy and who seems like they're up to something. It's too early to make any assessments right now, but I will tell you one thing.
[ His eyes narrow. He looks serious. ]
Be careful around Moriarty-san. He's intelligent, and observant. He caught on to the fact that we're related; he pulled me aside after Hamelin's spiel to ask if we were.
I don't know what he plans on doing with that information.
[ Riku nods. Tenn's right; they have each other here. And Tenn had gone to the trouble of talking to Hamelin about Riku's medicine. That's important to him. Besides...
He loves Tenn. Of course he's going to share things. He can't not.
At that, though, Riku straightens up slightly. ]
He asked me, too. I was surprised he figured it out so quickly, but... I'll be careful around him.
Don't tell him more than he needs to know from now on -- though that should apply to everyone else here for the time being. We'll have a better idea of who we can count on down the line, if anyone strikes me as being trustworthy.
[ Sorry, Riku, but he's only naming himself there because he really does not trust your judgment on this. You are far too trusting, in his opinion, and a bad liar.
That is most certainly a problem now, but they'll get to that when they get there. ]
I don't want to lose sight of helping everyone get out of here, though. Even if not everyone is trustworthy, none of us asked to be in this situation.
As far as I'm concerned, Moriarty-san is the most suspicious of everyone I've met so far. That being said, Edelgard von Hresvelg and McGillis seem like they know what they're doing and what they're capable of. I can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing just yet. Zola seems a little too cunning for me to be comfortable around her.
[ ... ]
Yor-san, C-ta, and Suga-san seem trustworthy enough, but I'm hesitant to take everyone at face value right now. Fujishiro Nageki -- the giant bird -- is straightforward enough to where I don't want to believe he's dangerous.

Tenn-nii!

What was that noise?
[ Did you trip over yourself, Riku. What did he say about being careful!!! ]
no subject
Aha, what noise?
[ Convincing! Nevermind that the blankets are halfway on the ground. ]

Hamelin said you'll get your medication.

Really?! Tenn-nii, thank you! Aha, you really saved me...

I don't have strong opinions on anyone else.
