Nancy nodded. His logic wasn't necessarily off course. If people here were going to try to get to the patients somehow for something, it would make sense to go through someone the patients trusted. 

But it made no sense that they would do that! Would it?

[color=Brown]"Hey, you're not [i]just[/i] a guard. Your role is just as important in this place as mine is."[/color] She smiled at him, trying to change the topic of conversation to one that might banish the sense of dread that had settled into her stomach.

[color=Brown]"Anyway, I have to get back in the kitchen. I'll talk to you later. If you feel like borrowing a movie, feel free to come by my rooms. I've got a bunch of them. They help keep the boredom away in this place. Have a great night!"[/color] She bid farewell to Joshua and walked off. Somehow she felt rude for not saying goodbye to Ichi, but she had never been much for animals. It wasn't that she didn't like them, but she hadn't had pets growing up really. She shrugged off the feeling- it was just silly- and disappeared into the back of the kitchen. 

She was met with distracted thanks when she pushed through the door and got right into helping wash and dry trays, put them back out into the line, and move the empty food pans to be washed. She avoided doing any heavy lifting, but no one minded. At least, they didn't say anything. Nancy couldn't offer too much time to them, though. She left with just enough time to freshen up in the restroom, wiping some sweat and gravy from her face, and jogging to the conference room.

She wasn't the first one there, but she was among the first. She arrived just as the square-eyed nurse arrived. Nancy received a fierce glare, but pointedly ignored it. That only elicited an aggressive huff from the woman, but Nancy didn't care. She took a seat at the conference table, ready for the meeting. She glanced around the room to see who else might be there.
