Lloyd carefully landed at the foot of the stairs and put his crutches under his arms again. He stopped and looked over his shoulder, waiting for Ellis to reach him.

Ellis reached him after a minute, shooting Lloyd a quick smile. "Let's get some food."

Lloyd nodded, returning the soft smile before leading Ellis to the kitchens.

Ellis followed Lloyd to the kitchens, sticking close.

When they arrived, Lloyd started a casual conversation with the cooks and was soon given some food. He thanked them and handed the food to Ellis, as carrying it wasn't really an option for him right now.

Ellis took the food, holding it and careful not to drop any. He offered the cooks a quick, bright smile, but didn't say anything.

"Alright, let's head back up." Lloyd waved to the chefs and left the kitchen, heading back over to the stairs. "These things are a nightmare, honestly…"

Ellis nodded a little bit. "Yeah, I know." he replied.

When they reached the stairs, Lloyd picked up his crutches again and flew up to wait for Ellis.

Ellis made his way up the stairs, still holding the food.

Lloyd smiled softly at Ellis when he saw him coming and led him back to his room. He flopped back down on his bed with a relieved sigh. "Woo…"

Ellis closed the door, setting the food on the nightstand. "How you feeling?"

"Relieved. And more drained than I expected I'd be." He sighed again and sat up so he could grab a small sandwich to eat.

"Alright." he picked up some food.

Lloyd glanced back out at the rain while he ate, seeming more relaxed now that he wasn't trying to get around anywhere.

Ellis closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath, then ate his food.

When Lloyd finished eating, he stared at the ceiling again. "So… what now?" He asked.

Ellis shrugged, taking a deep breath. "I don't know." he replied slowly.

"I probably need to talk to Anton at some point…" Lloyd sighed.

Ellis closed his eyes. "Ah. Yeah. Would you like me to go get him?"

"Um… yeah, sure. If you don't mind, that is…" Lloyd ran his fingers through his hair.

"Yeah, sure." he got up, slipping out of the room.

Lloyd nodded and waved to Ellis, sitting up and getting himself ready for Anton to come in.

Ellis waved back, closing the door and heading for Anton's room.

Lloyd sat in silence while he waited, trying to prepare what he was going to say.
