Accidental Meeting

"Yeah, the Island is really nice. A little warm for my liking, but nice. I've met a few people..but I haven't gone to the beach yet...I hear it's nice though.." He ended awkwardly, not sure on how to continue his sentence. Luke found his shoes very interesting and couldn't bring himself to meet Jame's eyes. "Why are you so damn awkward all the time..It shouldn't be this hard for you to talk to someone!"

He shuffled in place for a moment before he stopped suddenly. The second emotional signature in the area had shifted suddenly, almost as if it had "jumped". Luke shook his head slightly. "I feel uneasy..but I don't know why. He seems nice enough, even if his power is a bit odd..I feel like I'm being watched.." Luke thought to himself, although he covered his lapse in concentration by speaking.

"Oh! Before I forget, I've been meaning to ask someone if it snows here..but I haven't really made friends with anyone yet.."

"Oh good! I thought I'd be out of luck for snow!" Luke exclaimed, before he realized he had let his elation get the better of him. As he managed to restrain himself from further outbursts, he attempted to cover for it by doing the only thing he knew was safe, continuing the small talk. He shuffled slightly in place before he continued.

"Yeah..I was born in a small village in Norway. Snow is kinda common during the winter months.." He said and chuckled to himself. "There's that feeling again...curiosity? Surprise..It's odd. Not a negative emotion..not sure if it's entirely positive though.." He thought to himself as the second emotional signature popped back into the forefront once again. Luke tilted his head slightly, almost as if he was something a dog attempting to hear a particular sound better.

He shook his head again and scratched the back of his head. "Er..sorry. Thought I heard something..A-anyway, I was wondering, are there any spots with low student traffic? I've found a few of them, but more places to hide out and think would be nice." He said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"So that's what the cause of the interference I was getting." Luke thought to himself. "Uhh..yeah I I'm an Empath..if that's the right word..?" He said uncertainly while his feet shuffled against the grass. Luke glanced around a bit and sighed before making up his mind. "It's not as weird as blacking out every-time you walk into a crowded area. Making friends during my childhood wasn't exactly..easy." Luke muttered before he shrugged to himself and lowered his eyes to the ground.

"In any case, I think it's kinda cool.." He said, almost absentmindedly his mind once again wandering off into unknown tangents.

"You can control it..I can't control my Empathy. It's always active, always giving me feedback on everyone's emotions. It's easy to listen to one, two, or three people at a single time without getting confused. It's when you add a lot of people, things aren't so easy." He mumbled and shuffled again as he recalled the incident shortly before he had run into the Library earlier that week.
