Xavier had had a feeling that Tori would say that he was real. He didn't doubt that he was real, though he brought up a good point about knowing who somebody was. It was odd to think that you could never truly know someone, not even yourself. He was sure that there were those rare handful of people who knew more than others, but there of course were many more who did not. Tori was proving himself to be more than Xavier had first assumed, more than a crazy, rambling man who believed himself an agent.

Assumptions, hmm? Perhaps Tori was right and he was making too many of those. It was obvious that the so called agent was not fond of the doctor, who engendered thoughts of suspended butterflies, beauty and mystery within Xavier. He was curious as to what Tori thought of her, but before he could get a word in the man was talking about the other inmates as apposed to the staff.

Sarah, Jack, Matt, Keiko, Karrisa, Elise. Three of them were apparently forgotten. Xavier himself couldn't recall haven't met an Elise. But Karissa and Keiko were two of the four girls in the asylum. Keiko was the Asian one and Karissa another short one who looked anorexic to him. He briefly recalled interacting with them in the hallway before the group had gone their separate ways. He remembered them, but hadn't been around multiple people for most of the day and so he was not exactly inclined to notice their absence.

Then of course there was his sister. He had actually managed to forget about her for the rest of the morning, but now a hint of worry crossed his features. His sister was insane and childish, which only ever led to trouble. And whose fault is that? He could only hope that by some sort of luck she hadn't gotten into trouble.

As he spoke, Tori was flinging himself from the doorframe into his room and back again. He commented on Icarus releasing her 'pet', though he hadn't the slightest idea who or what that could be. Before he could speculate too much, Tori had retreated to his room and Xavier heard a loud beep and 'hello' from the hall. He groaned and quickly raced out into the hall to see Aveline on the back of a boy he hadn't seen before. "Ave!"

Residential Hall
1316-1321

Aveline made a purring noise as the new boy passed, staying a good distance away from her or Devan. Awww, he didn't want to play? Well it was unfortunate for him that she did. Forgetting about Devan and any potential threat he posed to her, she began to stalk the new boy when a small girl suddenly appeared, startling both the boy and her.

A bit agitated, because she was the Cheshire Cat, she watched quietly as whatshername spoke to him. Aveline knew that her name started with a K, but was unsure if she was Karissa or Keiko. Maybe it was Kirsten? Or Kristen? Or Keira? Oh, now she was really confused. But what did it matter to her? Once she figured out how to destroy them all with Tori's help, their names wouldn't be of much concern to her. Oh well, all that mattered now was that the new guy was walking away from her, on the same path as everyone else seemed to be.

Why did people only think of food? Actually, she did like food very much. But she also liked playtime. Without another thought, he decided to say hello in her own special way. Aveline charged after the slow moving young man and jumped onto his back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his torso. As if that weren't enough, she made a beeping noise in his ear before cheerfully exclaiming, "Hello!"

She barely noticed her twin appear from the small hall of rooms 1-4 and yell at her. She was too busy being given a piggy back ride from an unsuspecting and unfortunate soul.
