Room 418, Saturday Afternoon
When the island was calm, Saturday were normally lazy days for Anders. He supposed this one counted as lazy too -- at least, he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary -- but it felt strangely tense. He didn't need to be particularly insightful to realize more was going on with Nathan than a bad night's sleep, but he wasn't sure how to even start asking about it.
So he stayed in Nathan's room, and tried to read a novel he kept forgetting the plot of. Eventually, he glanced over to Nathan.
"Should we take a walk?" he asked. "I feel like doing something."

He felt sick even if he knew he never got sick. That didn't matter.
"I think I'm going to stay in and try and rest."

It was a technicality but still.
"I had a bad day yesterday," he sighed, severely underestimating what had happened. "I think...my Gift's coming out. I think."
no subject
The point was soon forgotten, though.
"Is it? What happened?"
no subject
He wasn't sure how much he was going to tell but he could give Anders some slivers of what he was dealing with.

That didn't help with the 'terrifying' bit at all.
"How did you make it home?"
no subject
He shivered.
"And I walked home. Once I woke up, I was...me again."
Re:
That was a...slight lie. He remembered waking up with a dead person.
"Something happened. I woke up somewhere else and I was dirty. I'd done something."

"Maybe you did just roll around in the dirt," he said, finally. "I don't know either. Obviously."
no subject
And he wasn't sure he could broach the topic of the body without having an utter breakdown.
no subject
He glanced over. "If you were literally anybody else, I would be thinking you'd spent the night with someone else right about now."
no subject
He said nothing about keeping things to himself.
"I won't get killed."
He knew that.
no subject
He noticed what Nathan hadn't said, but he'd made his point on that particular score.

He half-smiled, tentative. "Just don't shut me out, all right? I know trusting is hard and you're scared, but not knowing -- it hurts."

Least of all him. He needed t stay calm.

And possibly fail, but that went with the territory.

He hoped.
