Virgil had been on edge all morning. He knew that there was nothing here when he went to sleep the night before, but he had been feeling slight tremors in the walls since he woke up that morning. He kept himself pressed--

@OkayGotToSlay they would always be able to have whatever they needed with some rationing. But it wasn’t his to decide what to do with, so he’d keep quiet on his daydreams of selling excess supplies for some shiny new throwing knives. Looking up, he saw what could be more medicine bottles on --

@OkayGotToSlay heard of his weakness and not taken advantage of it instantly. One thing was for sure, leaving Roman behind was slowly turning into a more and more difficult idea.

@OkayGotToSlay wasn’t afraid to tell people about it, but experience hadn’t gone well with that. But Roman was alone, and he was stronger. It would be fine. Right? “I just need a pill and then I’m fine. I was going to do it later.”

@OkayGotToSlay the rest of him desperately wanted to take the chance to stay a little longer and enjoy having everything he needed. He had more meds than he had before, so really it was still a gain overall. He didn’t know what to do.
