Breken had already half untangled the bulb from out of his leaves when the ghost floated over to help him. And though anyone else would have been terrified to see such an apparition, this one... Well, she wasn't very intimidating. Soul chilling and tragic? Yes. Scary? No, she looked more like Casper the friendly ghost. Plus, he'd already seen enough paranormal entities during orientation to last anyone a lifetime- She wasn't very noteworthy, in comparison. "That was on purpose," Breken lied, pulling the last wire off his left hand antler, leaving it to dangle a good distance away from him. After that was dealt with, he straightened his head, and took a better look at the other two women.

There wasn't much to add about the second one, surprisingly enough. She looked identical to the ghost that'd just helped her- Maybe they were twins, and only one of them had died? Too many possibilities, if you considered just how chaotic the inhabitants of Manta Carlos could be. But even if they did look shockingly similar, there was something... Well, off about the fleshier version of Caroline, and it was something he couldn't quite place. Before long, this captivation had grown into a stare, which he quickly pulled away from as soon as he realized how rude it might have looked. Naturally, his eyes went towards the third most interesting object in the room (not counting the cobwebs, of course), this being Nanya. He was acquainted enough with her for her not to surprise her- So, it didn't take him long to compose himself, and being talking again. "Right. Um, my name's Breken," he gestured towards himself, "and this is..." There, his lips froze for a moment, trying to find an introduction to give her companion. Was it rude to introduce someone you barely even knew? Breken felt this was the case, but he was already commited to the phrase. He quickly regained his verbal footing, and flapped his arms around Nanya before a, "and this is Nanya" came out.

Horribly awkward introductions (even for his standards), but they'd have to do. Pulling the attention from himself, Breken crossed those trunk like arms of his, fixating his vision on the cobwebs covering the door the two girls had previously been focused on. "We don't have an infestation problem or something, do we?" He asked, not a hint of nervousness in his voice. He had no problem with bugs- He just had a problem with being the center of attention.

There was some slight disappointment with the saving of the lamp but the humans were interesting. Humans were odd. Nanya was aware that they could be two that looked similar, but she didn't know of any that could float or fly. It was something she would have to find out after the tree stopped doing whatever he was doing. To her he seemed like he was interested in humans too. Though she had to reconsider that line of thought when he had turned towards herself. Oddly enough after a moment he had introduced himself by giving the other two his name. She had forgotten his name and would have to try to remember this time around. Another weird thing was he had even told them her name. It was just another tree trait she didn't know about. Though humans seemed to do it too... "Are humans and trees related in some way..." She muttered to herself.

Margo had asked a question and Nanya had to regrettably stop her consideration on humans and trees. "This is my first day here. Have long have you been here?" Questions were bothersome but she answered as her parents had told her to answer questions that she could answer, and that it could lead to more connections between trees and humans. Nanya even offered her own question to try and get to the goal.

Coraline shrugged as the boy explained that he had gotten himself into his current situation on purpose.
"Well, I would prefer you break the lights in your own room, if you're so inclined." She teased, floating back down to Margo, who, Corlaine realized, still looked just like her. "Hey, uh, Margo, you'd best switch back to normal. People get confused enough that I'm a ghost, imagine what they'd say if there were two of me?" She whispered to her friend, nudging her slightly.

She listened as Brecken introduced himself, as well as his companion, Nanya. Huh. Apparently the two knew each other. He asked about an infestation, no doubt referring to the webs on the wall. Coraline shook her head. "No pests here, just some fancy decor. Halloween is right around the corner, y'know?" She explained, smoothly covering for Margo. She'd let the girl introduce herself, but the girl had revealed herself to be quite timid, and she knew she was saving the girl a headache.

Nanya asked how long they had been there, to which Coraline responded by checking her phone. "About twenty minutes." She said, shrugging.

Margo perked up as Coraline whispered for her to change back. She had not realized she was impersonating Cora, and immediately blushed with embarrassment. Chalk another one up for the tactless bug and her scatter-brained nature. "Oh, sorry. Guess I kind of forgot," she whispered back and readied herself to shapeshift once more. Flexing her muscles, Margo promptly rearranged her body until she had fully morphed back into her regular human form.

The question was posed as to where the webbing on the walls came from, and Margo sighed. She had expected to have to explain her earlier mishap to the two newcomers, but to her surprise, Coraline stepped in and played the webs off as mundane decorations. It was a clever way to play them off, and needless to say, Margo definitely appreciated the help.

Perking up in response to the other question, Margo took into account the fact that Coraline had been around for what she said was twenty minutes. Knowing she had arrived after Cora, Margo concluded that she had at least been in the dorm for about "Ten minutes." She had no means of telling time, so the approximation would have to do.
