While Cecil was worried about the university faction as a whole there was a tight knit group of people he was worried about the most. He wanted to see everyone home but his thoughts still wandered to a few in particular. Hitsu being first and Rook being second. He had yet to see either of them as he had been released back onto the main floor of the casino and that only made his worry grow. Were they okay?
"Rook?" He had an easy vantage point but there were so many people wandering around it was like finding a needling in a haystack. "Hitsu?"

Though Cecil was having a difficult time in locating people, Rook spotted him from quite a distance away. The man kind of just stood out from the rest. He was almost seven feet tall after all.
"Cecil?" He gave him a light tap to alert the other he was there and attempted a smile, which eventually turned into a frown. He had been hoping his friends hadn't been caught by these people, but he was beginning to think everyone had. "They caught you too, huh?"

His brows creased with dread as Cecil continued to score the area looking for his two smaller companions. There was a small hope, perhaps they weren't here at all. Maybe they were safe back at the university. He held onto that thought as long as he could until a light tap got his attention and he heard Rook's voice.
His heart sank, the smile he tried to put into place failing him as he turned to Rook. "Yeah....yeah they caught me to. Are you alright? Or maybe that's a dumb thing to ask." Cecil wasn't alright, he was far from it. His mind was still on the boy that had been shot down. They had to be careful here.

"Me? Physically I am fine. A little exhausted maybe. But mentally? I feel like I am about to lose it." He lowered his gaze to the floor and shuffled his feet, kicking lightly at the rich coloured rug. Seeing that woman get dragged off, screaming, and that kid getting shot in front of him just really hadn't sat well with him. Normally he would just push it to the back of his mind and not think about it, but in this case, it was proving to be a little difficult.
He looked up, though rather than look at Cecil, he looked straight past him, glaring at one of the many casino staff in the building. "Every time I see those bastards, I just want to knock their teeth in." He let out a frustrated sigh. "Think they'd shoot me if I only break a couple of teeth? Maybe give them a black eye?" There was a glint of mischief in his eyes, but otherwise he didn't follow through on his threat. "How are you holding up though? I'm surprised they even found a collar that fit you."

"I can understand. I feel like I've walked into some sort of nightmare. I can't quite believe this is real." He washed a hand down his face, settling it over his mouth as he looked around briefly for signs of anyone else he knew. The casino was so crowded with people, would it do any good to warn them? It looked like most already had collars on which meant it was too late.
"Eh?" He turned back to Rook as he spoke his frustrations. "I don't know if the staff are in on it or if they are being forced to keep us in line." It was possible the staff weren't here by choice either but Cecil didn't know. None of this made sense.
"I'm..." He hesitated, smiled and shook his head. "As well as I can be. I'll be better when everyone is out of here. I'm going to try my luck at something else but I'm not much of a gambler." He frowned, he knew he was in hot water. "I want to try to get as many people out as we can."

"Right? And here we thought that undead creatures walking around was strange. How naive were we?" He gave a light snort of laughter and shook his head. "If you ask me, I personally prefer the undead. Better personalities."
As for the staff... It was possible they weren't on it, but really, that didn't cut it for him. "I don't care. They're not doing anything about it, if they aren't in on it. There's no collars on their necks stopping them and they clearly had no problem killing that ki--" he broke off, frustrated. "I would sooner get myself killed then be party to this." The idea of it disgusted him.
The collar got a brief tug of further frustration, before he nodded in agreement. "Hopefully there are others in the same mindset. Though promise me you won't go and sacrifice yourself. I know of a few people who are likely to do just that." It was in their nature to help others after all.

His eyes settled on Rook when he trailed off wondering if he had experienced something similar. It was amazing to Cecil how the sight of blood was effecting him less and less and while it should have made him happy it didn't. The circumstances that had worn away at his phobia until he was nearly numb to it were far from desirable. He would have preferred to remain woozy at the sight of blood instead of experiencing all that he had.
"Just focus on getting yourself out of here first. Worry about our leaders and those down on their luck. You don't need to worry about me." Which wasn't a promise at all. "Go on, we need to get to work." His eyes drifted to some of the nearby staff who kept a watchful eye on them all. "I'll catch up with you later, but keep a look out for trouble. Or...more trouble than we are already in."

"Hey, I got myself covered." He assured the taller man, giving him a smirk and a light shrug. "Like I'm going to die in this ritzy place and if I can help it, I'm not going to let me friends die either. So promise me that you won't go giving up your freedom funds to some random person, okay?" He gave the taller man a stern look, well aware that no such promise had yet to be made.

"Then if you are covered you best see yourself paid for." Cecil reached down to tap at the collar around Rook's throat. "I don't want to see this the next time I find you."
His smile returned, though weak as it was and he shook his head. "I can't promise that. There are others here I want to see get out safe and if I can help I will. Just know that I will do my best to make sure I get out too." There was no point in lying but he would do his best.
"I'll catch up with you later." Before he could give Rook a chance to argue he headed off into the casino to find something he might be able to win money at.

"Yeah, yeah, sure thing. I will get to that eventually. But first there's a certain horse in the market that I'm looking to buy." He had a sneaking suspicion that Charlie was like Cecil and was going to give up his own freedom in order to help others. That was not something he was going to allow to happen. Not if he could help it. Though at this rate, he might have to add a giraffe to that list as well. Hopefully Cecil would manage to get himself and whoever he planned to help paid for with that they had, but if Rook was able to help, he would.
"Yeah! Same to you. If you need me contact me on the radio, 'kay? I'll leave it on, just in case."
