"Excuse me, young man." The minotaur had a surprisingly normal voice for as large a creature as it was. He approached a little quicker, the thunder of hooves echoing down the hallway. "I'm looking for room five zero zero, do you happen to know where that is?" The bull only paused as he looked up and saw the room number posted on the door. The door the two happened to be coming out of. So why on earth had Suto sent him up here? And he had such a hard time finding the place too, people seemed to disappear when he was looking for them. But had he heard the boy mention arena? Maybe he had said something else. He was certain Suto had told him to take the girl to Containment Room B-4. It was a little more 'homey.'

Pausing, Blade was a little surprised at the voice he heard. He was almost certain the guy would start bull rushing them. Literally. Quickly, he glanced around, spotting the number on the very door they had come out of.
Great...
Well this left a few options. Play along, fight, or bolt. Fighting seemed out of the question considering both he and Riyo were injured and unarmed. The minotaur was likely faster than them in their current states as well, which ruled that option out. Perhaps he could play along until he found a way to get rid of him...
"Oh! So you're the muscle the boss wanted to help escort her. I was getting worried you'd never show. Never know when that's gonna happen and all. But I think I have this under control... don't think she'll be struggling with those injuries of hers."

Riyo glanced back at Blade as he commented on her injuries. Sure, this was supposed to be an act, but she didn't appreciate being referred to as helpless just because of a few boo boos. Those boo boos hurt worse than 25 bee stings, but that was beside the point. She could still take him and, most likely, their large acquaintance.
Though, for the sake of the situation, she stayed quiet. She didn't want to, but her opinion could be voiced when they had Blade out of this place.

"Muscle?" Well, he supposed that could be easily assumed with his size. He wasn't much for pushing people around. "I don't know that-" He shook his head as he changed his mind. "Never mind. We'll take her to her new room. I was instructed to take her to B-4 and then attend to her needs." Motioning down another hallway, the bull waited for the two to go first. Might as well play the part of the muscle right?

Nodding, Blade started down the hallway that the minotaur motioned. Perhaps on the way to this B-4 room, he might be able to spot a potential exit... so far during his time in this building he hasn't seen any of the sort. It didn't help that he wasn't conscious upon entering this place too.
"Ah right it's this way. I'm pretty new around here so I haven't really memorized my way around... have any tips on major locations?"
He kept an eye out for anything he might be able to use against the big bull. Gritting his teeth, he tried to surpress a wince as the stab wound acted up again as he walked.

"Not really," The Minotaur gave a bit of a laugh. "It was by chance that I ended up where I did. I heard there is a trick to it though. The hallways and rooms were supposedly built in a pattern....but I obviously haven't figured that out yet." Turning to Riyo the bull tried to smile. "So what do you suppose you want for dinner? I can make quite a number of things."

"Hm.. well hopefully we'll figure it out sooner or later," he mused in return. It would be nice if there were some maps around the place but Blade supposed that would be too much to ask. Raising an eyebrow, he glanced at the minotaur. What was he, Riyo's personal chef now? The big guy definitely wasn't what he expected, but then again the thief should know better than to adhere to stereotypes.
"How exactly did you end up here? I mean... in this lab?"

As Riyo was spoken to, she blinked. Dinner? Her stomach gave a rumble at the thought. She... Honestly hadn't expected dinner.
Damn it. It would've been too easy if Blade had just left like she hoped.
"I've eaten squirrels that have been dead for a day out in the hot sun before. I'm sure whatever you make will be fine." She sighed, trying not to think about good food too much since she would probably BE MISSING OUT ON IT.

The Minotaur actually looked a little queasy. "Well, I'm sure that tasted....interesting." So she was a little mentally ill as Suto had described. When Blade asked what brought him here, the minotaur smiled in his reply. "I was hired on as a Caregiver. Suto gave me work when few would. Said that all I needed to do was give care to the people in his charge. I'm still fairly new, I only have one little boy that I tend after and he doesn't speak. But now I suppose I have two people to look after." The minotaur turned back to Blade and trying to be polite inquired about him. "So what brings you here?"

Food did sound really good right now. Blade wasn't really certain when the last time he really ate. But he had to shove that thought out of his mind and try to keep pressing on.
"A promise..." he replied softly while he thought. The minotaur seemed nice enough which was starting to make him feel bad that he'd have to find some way to get rid of him. He had one idea, but he was a bit hesitant about it.
Shaking his head to himself, he began to notice that they pretty much were only turning in one direction whenever they had to. Strange.
"Do you like it here?"

"If in interesting you mean absolutely disgusting. But when you're hungry... You'd be surprised at what looks edible..." Momentarily, her mind went back to her years in the woods by herself. Some days, you just couldn't catch anything no matter how hard you tried. In fact, sometimes trying too hard was the problem...
She had stopped paying attention to the two of them and started thinking more about when she was a child. She didn't think about her days in the woods much... Because she didn't remember much. She'd become like an animal, only doing what she needed to survive...

The minotaur watched Riyo for a moment before he turned back to Blade. "I dunno yet. It's a little strange. I don't see a lot of people other than the little boy. I don't even see much of the other Caregivers on a daily basis, but I can understand the avoidance. I'm not really approachable. My ward was scared of me at first but he seems to be coming around." The Minotaur shrugged.

From the sounds of things, this minotaur didn't really know a whole lot of what went on here. With a frown, he kept his eyes on a lookout for any signs of where they were headed and how they might be able to get out of here.
"Well... that's good I suppose.." replied Blade before lowering his voice, "This place has been hell for me..."

"Hell?" He tilted his head as a sign of curiosity. "You do look a little...." He did an assessment of Blade's outfit and tried to come up with a polite term. "Disheveled?"

"To put it lightly," he replied with little enthusiasm. With a sigh, he shook his head slowly. Pausing he looked around some more, "Er... where exactly are we?"
