Bad Day for Conversation

It was hard for Rem to see, his eyes had swollen up around his nose and he had a cut on his forehead that was dripping down as well. He was completely confused as to why he was just simply beaten. He knew he had done bad things, and would probably do more bad things, but he expected when someone catches up with him they'd at least tell him why they were assaulting him.

"Looking good Rem." He noticed it was just him and the other man left, everyone else had been removed.

"Feeling good, I'm sorry I don't know who you are at this point."

"Randolph."

"Shit really? I was sent to find you." Randolph attempted to laugh and then coughed on blood and just started coughing.

"How nice of you Rem, I always thought you didn't care."

"I didn't, The Boss wanted you."

"Figures, at least you were honest about it." Rem thought that was sadder than anything that Randolph just accepted he didn't really care.

"So what are they doing to us here anyway."

"You got me, I got taken first, I've seen the rest of you guys come and go, they are looking for something I think, but I have no idea what."

"They? So there are more than just Mr. Punchy?" Rem could hardly see, but he still noticed a tick on Randolph's face, he also noticed that Randolph while coated in blood didn't seem to have the accessory injuries to go with it.

"Well I think its more than one." Rem sensed the change immediately, Randolph was lying, and seeing how things were, Rem figured he was lying because he was in on whatever was going on.

"Right well I hope they give me a bit of time, I'm trying to get out of these chains and I think I'm almost there, so when they show up stall them for me Randy." Randolph hated being called Randy, it was one of the few things Rem remembered about him.

"Sure thing Rem, sooner you get free, sooner I get free." That cemented it for Rem, now he knew that Randolph was working against him, and that he was probably the last magic eater alive for whatever purpose. The worst part was he was no close to unlocking the chains, he just said that to test Randolph. He needed something, anything to save him, but he didn't have anything. So he just sat there awaiting oblivion. Which felt more than a little depressing.
