[Discomfort so noted, but Law gives no indication he registered it in the first place. Courtesy. Instead he trains his gaze on his drink.]
Mao and I both knew going into it that we were going to be caught. The Malnosso don't forbid volunteers from fraternizing, or even having a relationship on their own time... such as it is. No rules broken there. We weren't trying to escape. We didn't enter any restricted areas or wards... a closet wasn't worth more to them than a warning.
And honestly we didn't even make it far down the hall before they started closing. We made it seem we were too wrapped up in each other to notice. They for their part, gave us a few moments in the closet before they burst in. For that extra bit of humiliation.
We didn't touch or threaten them. They didn't touch her. For the most part they seemed somewhat glad someone had finally tried something. I suppose everyone had been too well behaved for their liking and they were itching to display a little authority. And disappointed that the misbehavior had only been a couple trying for a little privacy. So we got warned and humiliated... fully dressed down, and the Malnosso doctors and nurses joined in... since all the nastiest tasks started coming our way. There was a little less tension for the others, thankfully, after that. Some of the others were close to snapping.
