Tao let the apple land on the bed, on which he was huddled. His gaze had gone to his door when it opened and trailed after Marcus. Arms around his legs and mouth resting on his knees, made it hard to see much expression on his face. Though there was a pretty obvious bruise on his face from Marcus' hand when he had pressed him into the bed.<br/><br/>Dirk was understandable taken aback by the intruder. His thick brows furrowed a moment as he considered this stranger, but decided to just do what he came for. "Just, take your meds and I'll leave Tao." he said, his accent so thick it was a wonder anyone understood him. He set the little paper cup near Tao on the bed and held out a small plastic cup of water.<br/><br/>Tao ignored the blonde, his gaze heavily settled on Marcus. After a moment he took the water and picked up the pills. Shifting he dumped his meds into his mouth and gulped them down with the water.<br/><br/>Dirk frowned softly and held his hand out, "Cup." he uttered.<br/>Tao grunted softly but handed the cup to Dirk. "...my guitar still in the nurses station." he asked softly.<br/>"Yeah." Dirk nodded, the faintest smile flickered, "Just check it out with them when you want it."<br/>"...go away now."<br/>Dirk frowned again but left, leaving the door open.<br/><br/>Tao settled back, legs crossed now. He picked up the apple and looked to Marcus. Eye's locked on his he took a bite of the apple, his dull fangs digging into the firm skin with two soft pops before the rest of his teeth crunched through. He chewed slowly.
