he said nothing but held on tighter. there was a latrine on the floor below, he led the other over to the elevator to spare him that much at least. they went down in silence. the bathroom was easy enough to find he pushed the man past the urinals and into a stall. he stood at the doorway his arms crossed.

Samuel finished his business quickly and was quickly back out of the stall. As soon as he exited the stall his arm was once again the hostage of Echo. "So do I get food or get retied to the chair?"

"you get to wash your hands then wait for me"

Samuel sighed, "Okay." The headed towards the sink. The temptation to fling water at Echo was great, but Samuel resisted for the most part. So what if they both ended up slightly wetter then normal?

when the other was done he taped the man's wrists to the curved head of the sink. it was a waste of tape but he would rather waste it than risk it. he quickly slipped in to do his business then slipped back out. he washed his hands then un-taped the other. "you want food then?" he began heading for the kitchen

"Yes, I want food." Samuel repeated as he was lead. He knew where he was being lead and wondered if Echo planned on the kitchen not being finished. It had some stock but not alot, the shuttle that had been due to arrive yesterday had been carrying a majority of the food.

when they got there he was surprised to see the kitchen was poorly stocked. he realized with a sigh it was mostly perishable on the ship he came in with. he let go of the other, trusting the man not to try and escape or fall over. keeping an eye trained on the other he set about looking for consumables

"Food items are in the back. Powdered stuff is in cans and needs water added to it." Samuel said as he walked back Echo further into the kitchen. "Don't expect it to be too filling."

he refrained from giving the other a look. he browsed around until he found something easy "instant porridge and fruit bars" he reached out and took the tin as well as a handfull of the bars

"Porridge?" He asked the other disbelieving. "Nevermind," Samuel said as he grabbed a different tin. "You can eat whatever you want, even if it tastes like cardboard."

he grabbed the other by the back of the neck and pulled him close "you forget, i am not your mother or your nanny, i am your captor. you do not get a choice"

Samuel gave his captor a grin, "I'm pretty sure I would have to go blind and deaf before mistaking you for my granny or mother." Samuel has decided that playing with his captor is a lot of fun. "And," Samuel said, "if I'm so against it I won't eat it, thus giving myself a choice."

he had to look away again as the other gave him a cock-eyed smile over his shoulder. there was something distinctly wrong here. he let the other go "then eat it, but you will have to make it yourself."

Samuel's smile got wider. "Okay, like I said most stuff here is just add water, because how many technicians do you know that can actually cook?"

he did not answer the question but he kept an extra close eye on the man all the way up until they had finished. he felt uncomfortable around the other and though it was intriguing everything in him was saying this was wrong

Samuel quickly had his meal...thing ready and returned to Echo. "Back up I'm assuming." Samuel said. His food was mashed potatoes and a fruit ration bar.
