Goblin must have dozed off at some point with his head against the vent, because he woke up to the wake-up shouts of one of the guards, who went around the room whacking the drowsier boys with his cane. They had chores to do and pointless classes to attend. Goblin scrambled to his feet and waited for the guard to leave, then stumbled to the washroom with most of the other guys to get ready for the day.

Cavalier had been in the Refuge this time around for only a week, but he was already used to the routine. He shoved his way into a spot by the sink, glancing at the kid standing beside him. "Have fun sleepin' on the floor?" He smirked, splashing water on his face.

"Lots," he said with a smirk that was followed by a yawn; he'd probably slept a total of half an hour or so. "You'd be amazed at what the girls get up to at night." He reached for a grubby towel, wet it, and scrubbed at his face, then managed to get hold of a razor--which was attached to the wall by a chain so it was harder to slit anyone's throat with it.

He smirked, saying casually as he took hold of the other available razor, going for the shaving lotion. "Yeah. Like sneak in through the vents in the middle of the night."

Goblin gave him a casual glance and a shrug. "She wanted to talk." Guys and girls sneaked through the vent all the time, and it wasn't a big deal unless this guy had some sort of angle. Which Goblin damn well hoped he didn't, because there were already about half a dozen people playing different angles, and it was getting to be too much even for him.

He kept his tone casual, because he was only mildly curious, and he'd heard this guy was friends with Footsteps. Not that he cared.
"She's cute. All curvy and stuff. Warden'll probably take a real shinin' to her."

Goblin's hand froze for a second in mid-shave. "Yeah," he said almost as casually, "he'll probably give her all the best meals and the easy chores." Of course, he knew perfectly well what the guy really meant, and there was a hint of a warning in his voice. Even though he really didn't want to get into a fight on his first day here. Which he would lose, because he couldn't fight. But with his recent run of luck, it would come to that.

Cav's eyes flicked over to look at Goblin through the reflection of the mirror. "Sure. The pretty ones always get the best meals, specially if they don't talk back. As for the chores, well...guess that depends on your definition of 'easy'." He wasn't about to get involved, but from what little he'd heard about the new girl, she was surely about to get eaten alive in this place.

He splashed his face with water to rinse off the shaving cream and raised an eyebrow while he looked for a towel. "I've got people looking out for her. If you're really that concerned. What do you care about Script, anyway?"

"I don't." He rinsed his own face. "Just think it's stupid you sent your girlfriend into the lion's den for some stupid suicide mission."

"I'm so glad for all the votes of confidence," Goblin muttered, finally grabbing a towel from some ten-year-old shrimp to dry his face. Between this guy and Gypsy, he was quickly forgetting what it felt like back when all the kids in the Refuge were rallied around him. He and Riddle had built up that rebellious spirit together, and then she'd single-handedly crushed it. Now he and Script were on their own.
And if she ever found out the whole truth--well, it would probably just be him.

Cav watched him a minute, leaning against the sink. The Goblin-Riddle heyday was before his time, but he's heard stories. "You know Footsteps."

He blinked at the sudden change of subject. "Uh...yeah?" Everyone knew Footsteps. She'd been in the Refuge for ages, and God knew what for, because she was one of the nicest people he'd ever met.

He nodded, brushing his teeth. "She's the one that told me about you." He glanced over at him. "Personally, I think she's given you way too much of a hero complex."

He had to chuckle at that, pulling out his own prison-issued toothbrush and rinsing it off. "She tries to give everyone a hero complex. She's big on raising morale. But I guess someone in here has to be."
