Faust let the matter drop.
"Sorry... but do you have a shower I could use? Maybe some spare clothes and a washing machine?" he asked Netsubo. His clothes were stiff with dried blood, and his body definitely in need of a good scrubbing.

"Yea,"She said, standing,"There's a bathroom in the upstairs hall, third door on the left. And the laundry room is down the hall, here,"She said, pointing to the last door in the hallway.

"And... spare clothes?" Faust asked, his ashy cheeks turning slightly pink as he glanced at Fang.

Fang nodded,"I'll go get something..."
A chuckle came from the darkened doorway. A tall, thin figure came into the room. He had pale skin, dark hair and no socks or shoes,"That's the doctor you guys told me about? The Dr. Faust?"
"Hey Inu...You really need to stop sneaking around...."Netsubo said.
Inu shrugged,"I just woke up. I think I'm suffering from a Circadian Rhythm disorder again,"He smirked.

Faust blinked in surprise. "I don't believe we've met," he said slowly, self-conscious of his worn-out and scruffy appearance.

"Yea, everytime you've been here, I haven't....But I've heard alot about you,"Inu grinned.
"This is Inu, our doctor in training,"Netsubo smiled.
Inu nodded towards Faust,"It's strange to meet you. I'm honored and confused at the same time. Everyone in the medical field thinks you're dead..."

Faust raised his eyebrows. The medical community? Could it be that this man was a doctor? "Not dead..." he said. "But as good as." he made lingering eye contact with Inu; if the gentleman knew anything about anything, he'd know that Faust's career had ended when he'd been "as good as" dead... or, institutionalized.

Inu shrugged,"Well, I don't really know anything about it. I'm a medical student and you were brought up in one of the chapters. And my professor said it was a shame to loose someone like you."

Faust was momentarily overcome with emotion; he had to turn away, dropping into a chair and hiding his face in his hands. He was truly... touched. So this young man didn't know about the lithium and the straightjacket... and just how cruel an asylum could be when even your family had abandoned you, through death or disowning.

"Um, are you ok?"Inu asked, glancing at Netsubo.
She merely shrugged.

Faust nodded, looking up at the younger man. Such a future he had... Faust's feelings about it were bittersweet. "I'm sorry if this is a disappointment," he said softly. "I assure you that I've been drastically overrated in nearly every account I've been mentioned in."

Netsubo sighed,"Please....Somehow I doubt that..."
Inu looked at the both of them, not sure who to believe. He leaned towards Netsubo's side though, since he knew her longer and knew that she, for the most part, told the truth,"Anyways....Are you going to convince Tsume here to go to college too? She's been avoiding it because she doesn't want to forge the papers...."
"Inu! Hush!"She said in a hurried whisper.

"It's entirely up to her," Faust said, leaning his elbows against the table and continuing to wait for Fang to return with spare clothing. He was humiliated thoroughly... he was once a doctor, but now... indistinguishable from a mentally disturbed bum.

"What's up to who?"Fang asked, stepping into the kitchen with the clothes in hand,"Here...They might be a bit big and not exactly your style, but they'll work for now..."

"Thank you very much," Faust said, in his most formal Japanese. He hesitantly took the clothes from Fang, almost afraid to touch the clean garments with his dirty hands. Remembering the next logical step, he stood. "I'll think I'll take a shower, now..." he headed off towards the bathroom.
((any member of the household I can be?))
