Chapter 5
After her visit to the infirmary, Rinoa felt a lot better. To her surprise, it had not been Kadowaki who had attended to her, but a young nurse she did not know. She had pretended that she had tried to get some money from a shopkeeper, and her story was believed.
She walked out into the corridor, and wondered if there was a spare uniform somewhere. If she could look like a SeeD, it would help her slip around unnoticed.
She decided to check the dorms first, there could be a uniform in one of those. But if there was someone in there? She would be in big trouble- but it couldn't be much worse than where she was right now.
She picked a room at random, and opened the door.
It was deserted. She looked around it. There were photographs of a young dark-haired woman on the walls. She looked in all the drawers, there was no spare uniform of any kind.
She looked again at the photographs. Lots of settings, lots of different people. But they all seemed to have the same woman on them, of about 19 or 20. It must be the owner of the room, she thought, because it was a woman's room, number 15. She better leave soon, or the woman would find her in here.
She left, but she forgot to shut the door behind her.
Suddenly, a lot of SeeD's came from the main hall, and they all saw her. She didn't recognise any of them.
"Who's been in my room?" she heard one of them say loudly, it was the woman from the photographs. Rinoa realised in a second that she had forgotten to shut the door, and that she had left her stuff sprawled out on the floor.
"Who is that?" another SeeD commented, pointing at Rinoa.
"Bet she's the one who's been in my room." The woman spoke again.
She walked up to Rinoa, and when Rinoa saw her properly, she noticed something familiar about her.
"Quistis?"
