Nancy walked out of the room and Carter let out a heavy sigh. He knew what was right or wrong and didn't need to hear it from Nancy. But he needed to know what Asa was hiding. Was the information good or bad? He wasn't sure. Asa had been keeping his alive for a ll these years, but why? How would Asa react if he ever found out? He could only hope that his guardian wouldn't catch onto his new findings, but Carter knew there was a chance Nancy would spill, and she was a good member of stuff who always did things by the book. If Asa asked her to do something, or taught her do something in a certain way, she'd soak it up and remember. There was only a few things Carter had managed to get off with in the past, and he knew this probably wasn't going to be one of them.<br/><br/>He finished his breakfast and slowly shifted the food tray off the bed and placed it on the night stand, so he had room to swing his legs off from the bed, and grab the clothes that had been laid out of him. He'd crawled under the covers naked, so changing wasn't an issue. Now he knew the pills were made from Asa's blood source, he wasn't a fan of swallowing them and had left the tablet in the little dish Nancy always served them in. But his limbs were still able to move, and he was able to grip things with little difficulty, so he slowly made his way to his desk and sat down to read over his notes from the night before.<br/><br/>The findings still seemed like a dream. Was he the one that was going mad? Or was all this really true? None of this was making sense.<br/><br/>A knock came from the door and it opened before he could turn to see who it was. The knock wasn't Nancy's, but Asa's voice reached his ears before he had a chance to turn. "No... I'm just finishing off with my studies" he lied pushing his chair back and closing his book. He couldn't look at Asa, he knew he was in trouble just with the tone his guardian used. "Sorry, I got carried away" he said finally turning and pushing his chair back into place with a weak smile. So... Nancy had obviously spilled... Carter wasn't stupid. But he wondered why Asa wasn't coming into the room. Did was salt truly work? Had he found something that would keep Asa away when he wanted some space? Maybe not. He wasn't sure what else to say and his gaze slowly dropped again.<br/><br/>"Can we talk? Properly? I don't know what you've been told by Nancy, but you've always been crap at hiding your emotions" he said still staying beside his desk. "I don't want to fall out over this. You know why I did what I did Asa" but he knew that still didn't make it okay. "Please don't be mad... I just wanted to understand things properly and it was obvious that you weren't going to tell me anything...".
