Leucos sheepishly scratched the back of his head and gave her a small grin. "Sorry for ranting, I'm..believe it or not, usually not this excitable." He said with a small smile on his face. "As for others like me..Well, other Empaths, I wonder what they're like.." He said, almost to himself although still loud enough to be heard clearly. He shook his head as if to clear the thought.

"Anyway! It's odd, ever since coming here, I don't feel as..I don't know, is hunted the right English word to use?" He said as he held his chin in a pose that seemed to give the impression he was pondering something. He shrugged and then refocused, "Well, that and most of the people I've met here seem really nice!" He said, his eyes lit up again as he stopped thinking about heavier subjects. "Although, I wonder where everyone else in the dorm is..Are the dorms usually this empty?" He asked Elizabeth while turning to shut one of his dresser drawers that was still open.

"I mean, I know a werewolf empath called Jake, who's a nice guy, but other than that I think you're the only other one i've met. Dont worry yourself about it though i rarely go out and socialise so there's probably loads." He seemed quite worried about being accepted here, which was understandable. "yeah, mostly people just sleep here. There's the occasional party but people tend to be out in the day. A lot more to do that sit in your dorm i guess." Elizabeth shrugged and looked around his room a bit, seeing what she could find out about him, not in a creepy way, more in a 'i want to get to know this person' way. There weren't many personal things scattered around from what she could see, just a photo and a poster for a band she'd never heard of.

He nodded at what she had said, although Leucos wondered who Jake was. He didn't ask as he realized he'd placed the picture of his father a bit too close to the edge of the night-stand for comfort. "Now that you mention it, it does make sense that people would go elsewhere. I can see how the Dorm could be kinda boring."

He chuckled as he walked over and moved the photo closer to the center of his night-stand. The man in the photo bore a startling resemblance to Leucos. He wore the same dog tags and had the same amber colored eyes as Leucos did. However the similarities stopped there. While Leucos was slim and had a small frame, the man in the photo was broad shouldered, square of jaw, with black hair. He had a stern look in his eyes, whereas Leucos' gaze was softer. The man in the photo also wore the uniform of the Norwegian armed forces.

After the photo was moved, we walked back over and sat on his bed facing Elizabeth.
"Anyway, what does everyone do around here for fun when they're not in class? I never really had a lot of friends so, hanging out with kids my age isn't easy.." He said, his sentence trailed off towards the end, although he maintained his smile.

She watched him move the photo and couldn't help but to ask "is that your dad?" The two bore a fairly close resemblance and he seemed to care a lot about the wellbeing of the photo.
Elizabeth pulled a face as a response to his question "I'm probably not the best person to ask since my idea of 'fun' is reading all day. I know there are a lot of parties that go on, sometimes there's some bigger events too, like whole school ones. I mean, there was a school trip to Didney Worl recently which was just the alien version of Disney World."
She paused for a moment before adding "I didn't have any friends at all before i moved here and I've got quite a few now. I'm sure you'll make friends just fine."

Leucos smiled softly, although sadness was also very present in his gaze. "Yeah. That's my dad. We don't look that much alike, aside from the eyes." He chuckled softly. The subject of parties was brought up and Leucos smirked as Elizabeth explained that she wasn't much of a party person.

"I can understand not liking parties. Too many loud people." He said as he tapped the side of his head. "Tends to get a little noisy" He chuckled. Elizabeth paused for a moment before she told him that she didn't make many friends when she first arrived. "I think that's something all new students suffer from, meeting new people and making friends" Leucos laughed.

"Hey, by chance, do you know if there are music classes here? I kinda want to keep in practice." He said as he stared off into space.

She saw the evident sadness but decided not to comment on it. Without knowing if he just missed his dad or if he had died, it was probably best to leave it. She didn't want to drag up his past if he didn't want it to be dragged up.
"Ah, yeah i can imagine parties are a nightmare for you with the empath thing and that." She laughed with him before answering his next question.
"Yeah there are quite a few music classes, different bands and that. I'm sure there's one for whatever you play. What do you play, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Oh! I nearly forgot!" Leucos turned around and removed a slender case from his suitcase. Upon opening the case, a flute lay inside. However unlike its European counterpart, this flute was made of bamboo, and had intricate carvings that resembled vines. The vines spiraled down from the mouth opening down to the end of the instrument.

"I play the flute!" Leucos said proudly before he reached over and set the case on the nightstand, taking care to avoid knocking the picture over. "It's good to hear that they have music classes here! I don't know what I'd do if I had to stop playing." Leucos then tapped his chin several times, as if he was thinking about something. "Now then..the only things I need is an office chair for my desk..and maybe some more lights.." Leucos muttered to himself. He stopped zoning out and returned his attention to Elizabeth.

"Sorry! I zone out sometimes when I think too much" He said sheepishly. "I hope I didn't miss anything important.." He said to himself.

"Oh!" Elizabeth gave a little gasp as she examined the intricate flute "It's beautiful! I'd love to own a flute like this but i dont have the money." She laughed, almost a little bitterly "I can play all these instruments but own none because they cost too much so i might as well not be able to play them at all"
It was a moment before she realised Leucos had zoned out and was muttering to himself, having likely not heard anything she just said. When he stopped muttering and apologised she grinned at him "oh it's okay i was only talking about my plans for world domination that starts with a flute just like that one! Nothing interesting." She laughed, "I'm joking, I'm joking i was being bitter about not owning any instruments even though i can play loads. It really wasn't anything you needed to listen to, min venn."

Leucos chuckled as he gazed over at the case on the night-stand. "It was a gift from a very close friend of mine." Leucos' gaze turned wistful as the memories came back to him. Leucos blinked and shook his head as if to dispel the memory. "Now's not the time to think about him.." He thought to himself. "Anyway! You didn't come here to listen to me be all depressed! It's actually been a while since I've played it." He said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Aside from that, I was thinking about going out to buy more things for my room later this evening. Do you know where the best place to find office supplies would be?" Leucos asked her as he shifted around slightly to find a more comfortable position.

"Well, you could always play it now? There isn't really anyone here and I haven't listened to anyone play the flute in so long!" Realising that he might not actually want to play it she hastily added "I mean, only if you want to, obviously. As for furniture... well I haven't really explored the city all that much so I'm probably not the best person to ask," she laughed "I'm quickly realising I don't know all that much about this place, I probably wasn't the best introduction for you. Again, I can always direct you to someone who might know the area better, maybe the Jake I mentioned earlier so you can meet someone with the same powers? It's up to you really." Liz gave one last glance at the beautiful flute before going and flopping herself down on the bed, grinning at Luke and waiting to see if he was going to play or not.
