And come in he did. He opened the door and slid in, closing it behind him. "What's got at you then?" He asked. "Second to this damn apocalypse." He very quickly added, knowing that this is his normal, go to response when he didn't want to talk.

He very quickly added, knowing that this is his normal, go to response when he didn't want to talk. 'It's none of your business, Khari.' Rolf shakily replied, taking in another sharp breath, his arms shaking. He forced himself to move and with violently trembling hands dug a small bottle of pills out from a safe under his desk, managing to shake two tiny pills from the bottle and swallow them down, before resting back on the desk, keeping his back to his brother the entire time.

Steven watched her carefully once she was inside. "Been awhile." He smiled though it wasn't the same kind of smile, this was more forced then usual. "You still look good, no wrinkles." He spoke trying to keep the old Steven alive for Belle. "So what's up?" He inquired trying his best to sit up, but Rolf had him tied up so he couldn't move as much as he'd want.

Belle smiled when Steven started talking. It really has been a while. A week was too long. Which was odd to think when Steven would be gone for weeks at a time and she would have to wait and see if he decided to come back. Perhaps it was because he was here, and so close, but she couldn't talk to him. That made her long to to see him more. Belle bit her lip, thinking of where to start. There was so much to say, and yet everything happened so quickly. She removed her hat and ran a hand through her hair before placing it back on her head. She pulled up a chair to Steven's bedside and sat down. "Where to start is the better question." She didn't speak for a few moments, trying to get her thoughts in order, "Maddie and Kori left the group."

Steven stayed silent for a moment at the news trying to decide how he felt about that. Maddie, and Kori where useful but they tried too hard to fight the leader. "Well that's good news you lost one of your worst rivals." He commented speaking of Maddie outburst at the speech which felt like it was so far in the past. He felt his current response was as good as he how he'd have responded before he lost his arm.

Belle nodded in agreement. Maddie always seemed ready to do something or say something that would spark an argument; intentionally or not. "You should have seen what she did today. That b**** gave information to a prisoner and talked with her like it was some sort of reunion." Belle rolled her eyes and rubbed her temples like she had a migraine. Which she might after today. Maddie' s attitude was enough to give anyone one. How did Kori put up with her? "When we got back, I told her to hand over her gun and she refused. Then I said to get the f*** out." She rested her chin on the bed and looked over at Steven as she continued. "She took me up on my offer. I'm glad she did." Belle was hoping Steven agreed with her on telling them to leave he must have seen what she did at the speech. It was stupid, it was reckless, it was a dumba** move. "Sorry about my profanity, it's just been a stressful day..." Belle looked at the wall across from her with tiredness and sadness in her gaze. Why was it so hard to forget about Maddie and just...move on? To go back to preparing a plan on what she needed to do. But it was the fact that Maddie had a lot of information on this group that really made her worry. She could easily go to Calvin and tell him everything she knew, resulting in unimaginable casualties.

(It's cool lol^^ I'm stuck on mobile so posts won't be very long till like Mon-Tues)) Each shot that rang from Calvin's revolver made Christine wince with dread. Would he take out his anger on another teen? Just like what had happened to Thomas? With a deep breath of relief, she watched him storm off, leaving Elizabeth trembling in the arena, axe in hand. Part of her wasn't surprised that he had snapped. To Christine, Calvin was a dangerous and unpredictable character, couldn't trust a person like that. Best to keep a wary distance was what she did, as much as possible, anyway. Sighing, she fastened her bow to her back and carefully slipped her way down the bleachers, weaving through the dispersing crowd. "Elizabeth, hey. You okay?" She spoke softly, her arms folded as she approached. Working with strong compound cables and strings, it wasn't rare for unprotected skin to callus up every once in a while. One time when it had gotten really bad, this being before she had found her cozy snug finger glove, Elizabeth had given her something to soothe down the pain. Within a week or two she was right back on track and ever since she held the medic girl with a humble respect. It didn't seem right for Calvin to push her out there, and it didn't make sense to Christine anyway. Was there a special bond there she didn't understand? Why would a medic need to go out learning the best methods to eliminate the dead? She didn't get it, but maybe it wasn't her business, anyhow.

(Sorry for lame post, I'mma go to bed before I pass out after this~) Steven listened to her calmly his face staring at the wall the entire time, no emotions really flashed through his face which was kinda of normal, though unlike his lazy smile he had a poker face on now. "She tries to hard." Steven commented once Belle was finished, to be honest he felt everyone tried to hard in this world. Everyone wanted to seem like a bad*** while he well he was content with just having fun though maybe that was why he lost his arm, because he treated this all like a game, maybe this world needed a Steven that would take things more serious. A serious soldier the complete opposite of his father though at the same time he'd be a loyal soldier who didn't back talk the leader. Though he'd be more useful as a simply tactician at this point though he would refuse that, he planned on working harder than he would have had to with two arms. "I'm quite used to your potty mouth." Steven commented finally turning his gaze to Belle. "Mind untying me, before we continue?" He asked finally for two reasons so he could get up, and walk around. The other reason was he felt weird being tied up with people around looking at him. "Unless this is your kind of fetish~" He teased showing ole Steven was somewhat inside.
-------------------------------------
Eliza was standing still waiting for the arena to clear out her head down as she was still getting over what she had done. However hearing Christine she turned her head towards the voice, and put on a smile. "Yes I'm quite used to Calvin's punishments." She informed to most people it seemed Calvin looked upon Eliza as a daughter, though what they didn't realize is he was a strict parent. She had heard him say one time he had to be like this so she didn't turn into a female Steven, his son he considers a failure. "Sorry you had to witness that." She spoke putting on her healer voice as she rubbed her arm where the zombie touched her. She had yet to get grabbed by one so this was a new feeling for her, everything about that encounter was new to the young girl. She had heard the dead before, but never had to get close.

Belle figured Steven would ask something like that, and she figured Steven was going to get her in trouble one day. She just didn't expect that day to be today. Belle pushed the chair back against the wall with her feet and stood up once it made its destination. "Um, no, it's not actually." Belle replied to his last comment before moving over to his restrained wrist. It was tempting to untie him, but would it be abusing her power if she did? She put her hand on her chin thoughtfully as she studied the knot. "I don't know...it feels like abusing my power." Belle turned her head to Steven, "is it?" She wanted his approval above anyone else's on this Earth. Which was why she found herself asking him a question she should answer. Would it be possible for Rolf to get more upset or angry than he will be when he sees the door and Steven gone? She would hate to be here and witness it. He has already grabbed her by her collar and throw her against the wall.

"Uh huh." He stared at Rolf, not believing him for a second. "...so what is wrong?" He asked again, moving over to the desk.

His hair continued to hide his face but didn't hide the soft splashes of his tears on the wood. 'I've already told you to leave me alone.' He growled, shoulders shaking slightly. 'Why would I want to tell you anything that's happening in my life?' He added snappily, straining against the overwhelming urge to punch him or throw him out of his office.

"I may be a s***, but you're my brother. Anyone that's causing you hassle, and that isn't me, has to deal with me, yeah?" He sat down on the chair Willow had been in prior, and stretched out, crossing his ankles.

He sat down on the chair Willow had been in prior, and stretched out, crossing his ankles. 'I'm just stressed, Khari.' Rolf croaked, cupping his hands over his face and rubbing his eyes. 'I'm tired. Everything's piling up and I can't take a break from it.' He took in a shaky breath. i need Willow like I need air. 'my thief is still somehow stealing the adderall. Belle seems to be progressively getting worse with the way she handles Maddie and her attitude is off the roof. Steven is refusing pain relief so I'm having to keep him tied down instead of giving him the freedom to move.' He released a strangled noise of frustration into his palms, shoulders shaking again.

He straightened up and removed his doctors jacket, revealing a tight-fitting black T underneath and black jeans, before following, feeling wary.

"No Rolf imprisoning me was abusing power." Steven responded with people could say what they wanted about this, but he was being held against his will so he was a prisoner by definition right now. "He's lucky this isn't the old world, otherwise I'd sue his a**." Steven stated for the first time showing true annoyance at something. "A patient is allowed to refuse treatment." He informed this was all wasting time having him tied up on a bed, he could be training to get back into the game however Rolf wanted to keep wasting time, and supplies on forcing Steven to take treatments on his arm. "In fact you should be mad at Rolf right now. He's wasting hard to find supplies on someone who has openly said he doesn't need it." He stated the truth he didn't want the morphine when he cut his arm off, and he didn't want any of the painkillers after. The pain would make it easier to get back on his feet. All this is doing is babying him so he'd grow even weaker from weeks wasted by being tied to a bed. "First week not leaving for weeks, you allow one of your medics to tie me up, and force painkillers on me." He laughed at the thought.

Steven was right. Supplies was Belle's top priority and anything to do with it was something she liked to be notified about. He did have a right to turn down the medicine, no one needed to be forced to take it. "You're right, like usual." Belle took out her hunting knife from the opposite location on her belt as her gun holster. She grabbed his hand and moved it up to make a gap between it and the post. It was a small gap, but it would have to do. She moved the knife back and forth rapidly to cut through it and when she got one side undone, she stopped. It fell off because now it was merely a piece of rope, not tied off. "There." She let go of his hand, realizing she had still been holding onto it, and slid her hunting knife back where it was normally kept. Belle stepped back to allow him room to get up from his imprisonment of a bed.

He took Rolf to an empty classroom, then turned to face him, before raising his fists. "C'mon runt." He said, smirking at him. The same sort of smirk that finished with Rofl of his a**.

'We're not supposed to do this without Zero or Pa watching.' He warily said, hesitating a little longer before quietly raising his fists in turn, and starting to circle his triplet, a little of his frustration melting away to cold calculation in his keen blue eyes.

Steven quickly got to his feet once he was free, it had been a good long week since he'd been allowed on his feet so he was quite happy to let the blood flow back to his feet. "You my dear, are my hero." He joked as went to rub his free wrist though stop midway since he couldn't really do that. "So, can we go to your office to talk?" He asked clearly wanting a new room as he was tired of this room. "Or better yet, how about we go for a walk?" He added he was pretty antsy which was pretty clear why he had been tied up so he hadn't been able to take part in smoking the entire time so he was on edge. He also wanted to be outside for a few reasons, one his baby was somewhere outside after the bat smashed the window, and landed outside. Another reason was well he had been in a dank dark room. He also wanted to kill an undead just because he had yet to do it since he'd lost his arm.

((Ya'll can feel free to find the triplets brawling lol))
Rolf leapt back to avoid it and span, swinging a kick at Khari's arm. It had been a long while since he'd actually fought someone and not just a bunch of sacks that Zero had set up for him in the gym; it was definitely better to feel his blows connecting with flesh and not sand- and it made him feel human to feel the pain slice into him at Khari's harsh, violent blows.

Khari caught his leg and held on tightly, before spinning him around and letting go. "C'mon runt, that all you got?" He asked, laughing loudly. He hopped away in a slight panic and grabbed the nearest desk to brace himself, hissing as he jarred his wrist against the corner. He turned, panting, and swiftly returned to Khari, swinging a hard punch at his jaw, teeth gritted.

He then retaliated by swinging low at his stomach, breathing hard as adrenaline washed away his emotions and hardened his heart.

Belle smiled and rolled her eyes at his hero comment. He was obviously exaggerating, she merely helped him out. Belle went to the door and opened it up for the both of them. "A walk sounds nice actually. I haven't had any time to do what I want." She sounded tired, but in truth her mind was too full to be tired. She left the door open behind them and walked next to Steven down the hall. Belle turned right and towards the front entrance of the school, she wanted to take her time and go the long way. Having an hour or so of just talking with Steven could do her some good, she missed having company. "Did you miss me? Or did you enjoy the silence of my absence?" Belle smirked as she pushed open the door. It moved with high pitched creak that made her cringe inside. She was sensitive to high pitched noises, but she never tried to let it show. Therefore, no one knew.

Rolf tensed at the compliment, panting as he looked up at his brother, trembling slightly. He lifted his fists again, not done with Khari yet, gaze still utterly cold and focused, almost a glare now, fully set into the small competition. This had been their one way of taking their frustrations out on each other, set up by their father in order to safely allow them to fight and calm down. If he hadn't, they would have ended up badly hurting each other at some point, and so it had been very calm and good thinking on his part- as violent as it seemed.
