Snippet #1590002

Teej followed along with Fallon as she led the way to the dorm rooms. He felt the tug on his sleeve and looked over at him, wondering what was on his mind. "Oh! You think, maybe you guys are my roommates?" he asked, his smile widening at the thought of already being friendly with his roommates and not having to worry if they hadn't liked him. "I hope so, it'd make things a lot easier." He hung close to the group, memorizing the path in the opposite direction so that he would not get confused.

"Oh, I won't be in the talent show," Teej explained to them. "My talents aren't really things like that to be showcased. No one wants to watch me take apart a carborator, then put it back together," he continued, teasing himself. Sure, he could technically display one of his inventions, but he couldn't be sure it would be ready in time. He blushed as Fallon began moaning and Erryn started signing about sex and sexual innuendos. He sighed heavily, feeling the constant rushes of blood to his head giving him a headache. He had some medicine back in his suitcase and he'd grab it before unpacking. He noticed Violet to be upset about something, and was a bit relieved when it seemed Cusinth was speaking with her, handing her his handkerchief. He was about to talk to Erryn some more when they were stopped by his interpreter. It made sense to him, going in to unpack before continuing their discussions and he nodded his head quickly, showing he understood and would follow the advice.

The grin was back on his face in a moment as Erryn took up speaking to him again, after calling Cusinth rude. "To be fair though, we'd probably still be talking. I'd probably be rambling," he said with a shrug. "I know, rooming with you is going to be awesome. It's going to be easier to show you my technology and things too." A smile crept on his face as he watched the signing and listened to the repeated words again. "You know, I think I at least know the sign for you name. That's a start!" he said enthusiastically. Still, he would have a long way to go before he could hold a conversation with the other without the need of Cusinth's help.

"Hey, Violet. Don't cry, okay?" he said reassuringly, his headache beginning to pound in his head, though he tried to ignore it for now. "I can help you find it after. Maybe you left it in the auditorium? Or someone brought it to the lost and found, wherever that is," he offered, but couldn't do more than that at the moment. His head was killing him now.
