Characters: Minato and anyone!
Setting: Dorm floors
Format: Starting in brackets, will match
Summary: Minato found two loaves of bread! Unfortunately, hellhounds are on the loose.
Warnings: Eventual hellhounds related violence. Hopefully no bread burning.

[It’s a pleasant surprise when he found the two loaves of bread. Despite his hunger, he picks them up carefully and holds them in one arm. With his free hand, he breaks a small piece and has a taste test.

So far, it’s safe. That means he can share the bread with the others.

But he have to find them first, and without using the network to send a message. Using both of his arms to carry the bread loaves, he quickly makes his way to his dorm room. He needs a moment to ready himself before finding anyone else.

Grrrr…

The sound of growling. He slows down and carefully looks around for the source. A monster? That would mean fighting them off without damaging the bread.

Grrrr...

The hellhounds move, until they see...no, smell him and make their moves. Minato turns and make a run for it.]

Y-Yeah. [Tara pushes herself hastily back up to her feet, cursing her own persistent weakness. She looks between the dropped shower head and the shower she'd pulled it from, before signing in defeat.] S-Sorry. I, um, I'm...n-not that great against, um, w-whatever those were.

[evokingfool]

But you still helped. [That's what matters to him. She helped keeping the monsters at bay long enough for Minato.] Even if you can't fight them, I can hold them off.

[Hm, he have to entrust her with the bread, if it comes to it.]

[moontothetide]

[It's right when Minato has that thought that Tara notices he's carrying bread at all.] Oh! I, I didn't see your hands are full. Um, do you want me to take those? M-Might be safer. I-I'd be careful.

[With two loaves of bread? She'd guard those with her life.]

[evokingfool]

Yes, thank you.

[He hold them out for her.]

I tried a small part of them and they're safe to eat. [With the current power outage and food supply, these bread loaves are important.]

[moontothetide]

[Tara takes the loaves carefully, wrapping a loose corner of her jacket around them just for a bit of extra protection. For someone out there? This bread could be literally lifesaving.]

If they w-wanted to poison us...I mean, I, I-I guess I don't see why they'd want to. [Their situations are dire enough as it is.

Not that she doubts whoever is currently watching them, if anyone is, would try as much.]

Are we, um, are w-we bringing them to someone?

[evokingfool]

No one in particular. I was about to go to where everyone might be, but the monsters found me.

[As luck would have it. But in the end, the breads are safe.]

[moontothetide]

Well, th-they're gone now. Maybe we should keep heading there. S-Safety in numbers, right?

[The breads are safe. You done good, Minato.]

I'm Tara.

[evokingfool]

I'm Minato Arisato. [He would like to continue having an idle chat, but...] We should get going, Tara-san.
