Xero Taylor
Xero sighed as he read his light reading, the sound of the world outside constantly breaking his concentration and forcing him to look for his place, over and over again. He was a fast reader, but he had only gotten through twenty pages in the last five minutes. Twenty pages! Him! It was absolutely ridiculous. Actually, the whole business of the other four dying and the gems now being given to new people was ridiculous. The entire thing was insane, and Xero had no idea why the creator of the gems even cared. He really must have nothing else to do, Xero thought. He tried to imagine being so bored that he'd seek entertainment by killing others, but he couldn't picture it. Death, life, what's the different? Life just means you have to work harder, have to deal with others. Xero let out a deep breath as he stood up, Poe fluttering his wings as his owner moved over to the balcony. I might as well people watch while I'm here. Maybe I'll learn more about emotions, Xero thought as he stepped outside.
“Hey Xero!” Or not. It was Hinata, the painfully cheerful dark blue gem owner. She wasn't nearly as annoying as certain others, but she still wasn't his favorite. Well, it wasn't like Xero had a favorite in the first place, but still. "They all are so strange," Xero muttered, not looking over at Hinata. Poe let out a caw in agreement. Xero looked over at his soul with as close to a smile he could manage. The whole happiness vs sadness thing was still new to him, but he thought he could understand it. He just couldn't feel it. Not as much as others, at any rate. "Heeey Taylooor! I can see your bed-head from down here!" Like a normal person, Xero wanted to curse. Actually, Xero wanted to teleport back inside his room, where at least he wouldn't be yelled at by others. Now, normal people might also have been worried about the attention they would now be receiving, but Xero didn't care. "It's a good morning, Hinata!" Apparently neither did Mael, since he just continued on to his next target.
"Hello." Xero muttered, voice barely reaching Hinata. He didn't even glance down at Mael, ignoring the blond completely. Again, normal people would have at least said hello, but the concepts of being polite were a little beyond Xero. He understood them, yes. He just didn't understand why'd you use them. He certainly didn't. "I believe you say.... How are you?" Xero asked, sounding a little curious. He was trying to get better at the whole communication thing, but living alone made it hard. And it wasn't like he couldn't talk to Poe, either. He just found that talking to actual people was a lot different then talking to your soul. Xero sighed as he leaned against the balcony, back to the rail. It made it easier to avoid communication with Mael, though Xero knew it would probably only encourage him. The gem owner was so confusing at times. He acted like he honestly believed he was better then anyone else, but Xero hardly thought he deserved such a title. After all, to Xero, Mael was neither exceptionally intelligent nor strong.
Xero glanced around the skies as Poe took flight, flapping his black wings powerfully as he soared around the hotel. Xero didn't know that he had a look of complete peace, watching his familiar, the only one he could trust, flying. Something about flight Xero loved. It was one of his favorite topics, aerodynamics, and just flying in general. Xero had always wanted to get a flight license, but he couldn't stand people, so that was hard for him.
