Two days ago, Rorschach had sworn that Mike Caulfield and all that knew him had been erased from his life. But apparently there was an exception for those that knew both men, Mike and Rorschach. He was still surprised to find himself in Sam's kitchen, leaning against the counter, as if he had never left. She was still out, and a part of him knew that he should have been concerned. But she was a strong girl. She'd be all right. Opening the bag of bread, he took one piece, folding it in half, and taking a bite. It'd been nearly two weeks since his last real meal. His stomach no longer really felt hunger, making the adjustment rather quickly. But now with food in his hand, real food, he felt his insides revolt.
They rumbled and grumbled, expressing their anger with him just as Corbinian had. And Sam likely would. With a sigh, Rorschach swallowed the rest of the bread in just a few large bites, feeling the lumps slide down his throat. Tonight would be interesting, to say the least. Communicating with other people about what went on inside his own head wasn't his strong suit. For six years, there was no need to keep that skill around. It was vestigial, like an appendix or a tailbone. And now he had to exercise it. It was a trying process.
As he stood and waited, stunned in his own silence, the sound of the door opening caught his attention. His stomach clenched. Though he had been in the apartment for an hour, he had yet to actually do anything. He was still in his same old clothes that he'd worn without change for two weeks. He still hadn't bathed. His head was covered in an outcropping of dark bristles, and his jaw was host to a budding beard. All in all, he looked like hell. How fitting that he would be facing it in a few seconds.
