She had woken up in a cold sweat a good thirty minutes ago, yet she was still in her creaky mattress staring at the ceiling blankly. Her chest rose and fell slowly as she breathed softly.
His face was on the ceiling again.
It was so clear, she could almost reach out and touch it. Yet she was so afraid that even the slightest breath would make the image fade away - unlike her nightmares that would plague her every time she crawled into that hard mattress that she had stolen a week or two ago.
Reverie suddenly closed her eyes, they were dried out, they were bloodshot, and they burned like hell. Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, she quickly jumped up and almost grimaced as she heard the loud click of her heels hitting the ground. Everything seemed so much louder in this place. She didn't even bother taking off her boots at night anymore, especially not after she woke up one night to some creep trying to sneak out with her beloved boots. Needless to say, she beat the crap out of the poor patient and even though Revi was sure they wouldn't be coming back for her belongings, she was still a bit paranoid and shaken up from that confrontation.
Hesitating slightly, she took in a deep breath before glancing up at the dirty ceiling of her room.
Gone.
Of course, it had never been there in the first place. She knew that all too well, yet she still felt her heart drop a bit. She suddenly turned and gave a good hard kick to the small drawer she was lucky enough to even have. A string of curses flew from her lips as she ground her heel into the corner of the often abused drawer in a seemingly blind rage. She was lucky to have this little drawer to hide whatever she happened to find in. She was lucky to have a room that didn't have too many blood stains. She was lucky to have been able to steal a mattress.
"Lucky."
Right, she was so lucky. Bringing her foot back down to the ground, she slowly sauntered out of the small room, stopping for only a second to try and lock the door behind her. Of course, she knew better. The lock was broken.
Making her way through the hallways in a lethargic manner she ignored the other patients that shuffled past her. What time was it? She never knew what time it was anymore, she only knew when she was tired or hungry or restless or angry. She stopped abruptly in the middle of the hallway, earning a few dirty looks.
Right now, she was feeling a little lonely. Maybe it would have been better if she had stayed in her room, drying out her eyes as she stared at the ceiling. She could turn around and go back now, but she knew that it'd be too late, she'd see nothing special on that yellowish ceiling. Not until tomorrow morning at least. Not until she woke up from another nightmare that had found its way into her head.

Now...he was not going to get lost this time. Lennox was positive of that. He was going to be very careful, so that he would not get scolded once more. Things were more or less back to a peaceful state for him and Daniel and he did not wish to risk upsetting it. Odd, how when they had first met he'd been so certain they would not get along in the least. Now he felt that he'd be a little lost if he got turned out. No matter how he looked at it, it was Daniels room. Daniels pool. Daniels bed. Lennox's tail twitched as he placed a carrot between his sharp teeth and reached down to adjust the laces of his vest.
He felt no disappointment in this though. From what he had seen thus far, one was very fortunate to have the things Daniel did...and he? Well...he had his cloths. That was pretty much it, and that was only because his 'parents' couldn't turn him over named to the Asylum. Maybe they could have... but he was glad they had not. He did not think he'd have been fortunate enough to find fitting cloths in this short period of time. Daniel may not have cared about his periods of nudity, but Lennox surely did!
He was going to change that though. He was going to be extremely careful today when he went out to scavenge. He was going to be extra careful to not get lost, thus causing Daniel more trouble then he was worth. He was going to find something worthwhile to bring back to the room, and discuss his plans to expand the room they were sharing. Just in case though... Lennox had snuck into the kitchen after it had been emptied. Using his typical means to get in past the locked doors, he had raided the place for some food for his little excursion. Aside from the carrot he was cheerfully munching upon, he had a apple, another carrot, some celery stalks, and five slices of bread in a small plastic baggie tied to his belt. Perhaps he'd be fortunate and he'd find a backpack or something... Later when he got back he'd see about what Daniel was in the mood for too....
Snapping a bite out off his carrot, Lennox hesitated in going down one hallway. There were just...far too many people in this area. Daniel had him on edge when it came to the others here. Not to mention his own not so pleasant encounters. Swallowing once, he stepped back and down a different hall passage. One that did not seem so filled...ah..but a vaguely familiar figure stalking down it made him frown a little. Lennox back tracked a few steps and looked about himself. His tail twitching behind him as he reconsidered the path he was going to take. Fine...maybe...if he back tracked down a pair of halls he could go around. This place was clearly populated, meaning anything worth taking was already gone...

Yeah.
So what?
She was lost. Again. But it didn't matter anyways, she told herself, because she had no idea what she was doing anyways. She didn't know where she was going (obviously), she didn't know where she wanted to go, and she didn't know where she should have been going anyways. Reverie had spent the last few minutes gliding down the hallways, slipping in between other patients, carefully not to touch the particularly creepy looking ones.
Her steps eventually slowed as she found herself in a somewhat empty hallway. She shivered slightly, suddenly become very aware of her surroundings. One hand went out to stroke her other shoulder softly. She winced a bit as she applied some pressure to the purple bruise on the back of her shoulder. It had already been a few days, but it was still there, like some kind of brutal mark on her fair skin. She had been having a particularly horrible nightmare that night and she supposed that she must have been thrashing about wildly because she fell right off that little bed of hers.
Right onto the small drawer. It's a good thing she hadn't hid her head on the drawer or the hard floor.
"I'd have been screwed had I gotten a concussion..." she muttered quietly to herself, still a bit creeped out by how quiet the hallway had suddenly gotten.
She had gotten a few complaints from the patients next door on that night because she had woken them up with her yelp of pain followed by the sound of her cursing and throwing the drawer across the room. Revi was actually quite surprised that the flimsy old thing was so durable. Either way, she no longer kept any furniture next to her bed.
She shook her head, trying to clear it of her random thoughts as she ran a hand through her brown hair, sighing loudly.
"Where am I?"
Silence.
"Ugh, what the helllll?"

. . .
He could ignore it. He could ignore her voice. He could just wander off and leave her there. Lennox's tail shifted from side to uneasy side as he worked on gnawing his carrot down to it's end. But, if she made too much noise it could draw attention...and he honestly would have felt bad if someone beat her up. Not that it wasn't happening all around him that is. With a small shake of his head, Lennox stepped around the corner and peered over at Revi.
"You really should not speak so loudly like that. Your words may attract attention. Not everyone here will ignore you." He spoke softly and kept back a few paces. It did not hurt to keep his distance right now right?
"Who were you talking to anyways? I know the Asylum is very creepy but..I do not think it has a mind of it's own yet. So it could not answer."

Reverie was lost in thought (or lost in reverie, she thought to herself, chuckling softly) when she was suddenly spoken to. She whirled around and quickly did a few back flips to distance herself from the owner of the soft voice. It hadn't sounded all too evil, but it was an asylum, bad things happened. She knew that. She was ready to either flee or slaughter the person with her stilettos when her emerald eyes fell on a familiar shock of multi-colored hair.
Blinking a few times, she slowly relaxed a bit and let out a small sigh, "Scared me." She scratched at her ear feathers lightly before taking a small step forward. Then several more. After all, her back flips had landed her close to the other end of the hallway and she had to at least be close enough to hear him talk to her and vice-versa. Revi couldn't help but feel a little relieved that it was just that guy and not some spazzy loser that wanted to steal her jewelry or clothes.
"Well, hell. People should learn to mind their own business, if my talking pisses them off then I'll show 'em who's boss!" She jutted her hip out to the side and placed a hand on it, grinning a bit at the familiar face. He had a name, she was sure, and it was just on the tip of her tongue as she looked him up and down, making sure that he really was somebody she knew.
"...Lennox." That's right, his name was Lennox and he didn't like having his tail pulled, but he liked candyandCassiedidn'tlikehimandhealmosthit -
She quirked a brow and reached up with her free hand to stroke at the pendant around her neck before huffing, "Oh honestly! I'm not crazy enough to expect this old building to talk back to me, you fool. Besides, I'm sure the asylum would have one helluva creepy voice... straight from a horror flick," she nodded, her brown ponytail flopping against her chest, "anyways, do you like sneaking up girls in creepy hallways or somethin'?"

Lennox's multicolored eyes widened a bit as the girl launched herself into a series of back-flips that honestly would have left him feeling overwhelmed with dizziness. He could not imagine being that quick or flexible himself. His tail swayed back and forth behind him slowly as she came to a halt.
So quick... could he have moved that fast if someone had startled him? Lennox liked to think he could be. he did have cat like attributes in the form of his tail at least. Honestly though he had to admit he would not have gotten more then two or three steps away in that same period of time. Mostly because he would have probably tripped and stumbled over his own feet. The only time he'd been honestly terrified he had found himself pinned on his back. It meant he had been forced to think instead of flailing. It had worked best for him that way though. He needed more practice in thinking calmly. Preferably without the same degree of danger he had faced that one time.
When Revi began to walk back towards him, he decided to at least move to meet her. He was going this way now after all right? Her rather... aggressive manner of speaking brought back sour remembrances of their first meeting.
"I'm not saying it would anger them. I'm just saying they may try something with you. It's better to be quiet and avoid such dangers....it's just my advice though. You don't have to listen to it. I'd just appreciate it if you didn't bring anything down on this area while I'm here." she seemed to remember his name...but now he found himself struggling to recall her own. He supposed that due to their not so pleasant meeting he had not put much effort into remembering her name.
"And your...Re...Re something. I am sorry I don't really remember.." Lennox dropped his eyes to the ground as he took another bite from his carrot. "Actually it's not that crazy to believe. Buildings like this are filled with negative energies due to those that lay trapped in it's walls. We effect it, just as it effects us. Our energies can taint the walls themselves and give it life...a state of conscious thought. That is how the first Labryinth came to be. It was a prison first, but over time the suffering within it twisted it until it became alive."
Len lifted his eyes upwards again and he shook his head a little bit. "I am looking for useful things. I made a mistake before and I need to make up for it."

"Well, you know what I say about that?" She cocked her head to one side and smiled softly, "To hell with them!" She waved a hand at Lennox before softly adding, "but you have a point."
She bit her tongue softly to prevent herself from saying how he was only watching out for himself anyways and of course he didn't want any trouble while he was in the same hallway. She wasn't annoyed or even mad at the thought, after all this was a dog eat dog kind of place.
You either watch your a** or it gets handed to you. No time to worry about others. She thought bitterly before quirking a brow at Lennox, a little smirk hanging onto the corner of her lips, "Ouch. I took the time to remember your hair, your face, your name," her voice suddenly changed to mimic Lennox's, "and your voice, yet you don't remember my name? That hurts, rainbow~"
Revi twirled around in a quick swirl and swooped down into a bow, introducing herself with her own voice again, "Reverie at your service." She was in a relatively good mood, despite having woken up to yet another terrible day.
No.
"Good" mood wasn't quite the right word, it was more like she was relieved. She wouldn't admit it, but she had been scared shitless when Lennox had first spoken to her in the lonely hallway. Not only was she in a shady looking place, but she had been caught off guard. It was certainly pleasant to find out that the voice belonged to not only a friendly (as far as she knew) person and not only that, but it was someone she recognized.
She nodded slowly at Lennox's explanation, taking it in completely. She stared at him a little wide eyed with her lips parted before letting out a soft 'oooh'. Reaching up, she tapped at her chin with a slender finger, "That makes sense. Hm, I wonder if all the negative energy an' stuff is gettin' to me. I've been a lot angrier than usual... which can't be all too healthy, I'm sure Leader would say. Then again, I might just be pissed 'cause..." She let her sentence trail off as she absentmindedly reached over her shoulder to stroke at the bruise, remembering her nightmares.
Shuddering a bit, Revi looked up at Lennox for a few seconds before slowly saying, "So... scavenging? Mmm... mind if I join you? I'm lost anyways."

For a brief worrisome moment, Lennox feared that Reve would sound out a louder cry. As if to mock the danger of this place. So when she instead lowered her voice he relaxed his wings on his back a little bit. He would have regretted warning her to be more quiet...but she seemed like she may have been the sort to ward off danger by appearing to be able to handle it. Lennox brushed his fingers through his hair and shifted on his bare feet. He really preferred to avoid such situations.
Lennox took a partial step back when Reve twirled about and bowed to him. She was so..flashy..showy... He wanted to ask her if she had been a performer before she was brought here. Doing so would have only opened the door to her asking the same. Lennox did not favor sharing his story with another person yet. He did not want to seem like he was seeking sympathy or making excuses. "I will make certain to remember your name now Reverie." He promised as she came back up from her bow.
It felt..well..satisfying that she would accept his explanation and theory, and he turned to look around himself thoughtfully. "I like to think of it as a possibility. Have you ever been someplace that, for no real reason, you just felt a sense of calm of happiness there? I believe that the positive or negative energies created by those that visit those places fill the area. So yes..it could be this place that has been making you feel the way you do."
Lennox glanced at the tip of the carrot left in his hand. As he regarded the green crowning the tip, he tossed it into his mouth and chewed on it. "Mmmm. I suppose you could. But if we come across any pots I would like them."

She straightened out her back and twirled at her ponytail, "Reverie's a bit of a mouthful though... for kids and, uh... the lazy, I guess, but hey! Revi's just fine, yeah?"
She gave him a long, almost pained look as she chewed on her lip slightly. Lennox certainly seemed like the calm and level-headed kind of person, judging from his manner of speech and advice. If anything, she was a little jealous, she was the type of person that would unleash all hell on anyone who dared to mess with her or her belongings... even before she had come to this forsaken place. Maybe it would do her some good to study Lennox a bit, get into his head a little... She was short tempered and rough around the edges, not stupid. She knew that if she kept up her antics, she wouldn't survive in this hell hole - as much as she hated to admit it. Her face suddenly broke out into a dreamy smile as she thought about how proud her Leader would have been to have seen her trying to calm down.
"Nnngh... Uh, well I feel calm under the stars. Does that count? I mean, it's open space so maybe it's not really a... hm," she laced her fingers together behind her back and leaned forward slightly, peering up at Lennox, "It makes sense, though. I'm sure Leader would have said something similar... yes! He definitely would have!"
She furrowed her eyebrows together as she watched Lennox eat the tip of his carrot. A carrot. She hadn't even noticed that he had been munching on one. She mentally scolded herself for not being more aware of her surroundings before perking an ear up towards him.
"...pots?" That was certainly strange and random, she would have expected him to have wanted some thing like - she glanced down at his feet quickly - shoes or something, but a pot? She debated asking him about it and eventually her curiosity got the better of her, "Uh. Why? Gonna grow flowers or somethin'?" She looked him up and down before smirking a bit, "then again, I wouldn't be too surprised if that was the case."

"If it is the name you prefer, then that is the one I will use." Lennox spoke with a slight nod of his head. Revi would be so much easier to recall anyways. Though, there was a odd period that followed afterwords. Lennox gently swayed his tail behind him as he became the focus of such a strange look. Why would she look at him so? He certainly felt as if, in some way, he was missing something. Perhaps she was having an inner debate or something?
Her look changed from strange to...well...another form of strange. But this one look he liked much better. Lennox smiled in response to Revi's own. "The Stars? Well. yes. That does make sense. The stars have always been seen as signs of comfort. That is why some people hang them from their ceilings and such." He reached a hand up to twist his fingers through his multicolored hair. "Leader?" He found himself asking her as he began to head on down the hallway. Lennox paused at a door and gave the handle a slight testing twist.
"Yes. Pots." He spoke as he gently pushed the door open to peer inside. His bare toes curled against the floor as he cautiously peered inside of the room. He turned his head to look at Revi as a genuine smile broke over his face. "Sort of. Daniel gave me the idea to tell the truth. Have you ever read about how some plants have magical properties?" He asked as he glanced through the vacant room. Shaking his head a little he stepped back and moved on to the next door. "I'm a creature that can access those properties."

Revi followed after Lennox quietly, making sure that her heels didn't click on the cold floor. After all, they were scavenging... or maybe stealing, it didn't really matter anyways. People were allowed to be hypocrites in a place like this, Revi thought to herself in a strangely pleasant manner. Lennox's manner of speech seemed so proper to Revi, it almost made her feel uncomfortable. Revi herself spoke in a casual manner, shortening her words and using common slang. She couldn't help but feel a little out of place talking to Lennox. She scratched at her ear softly before rolling her eyes, Pffft. To hell with him! Who cares?
She eventually found herself thinking about the first time she had come across the colorful man. She didn't hate Lennox, no, she had never hated him, not even after that incident with Cassie, but she had made sure to be careful around him.
Just in case. Even though it's an asylum, it's hard to tell who actually belongs here.... She shook her head lightly to clear away the negative thoughts and let out a soft 'hmmm' as she pondered Lennox's words. She suddenly found herself blurting out, "I miss the stars." She had said it softly, but in this kind of silence she was sure that he had heard her anyways. A little annoyed at her impulsive mouth, she quickly added, "I-I mean, I don't have a window in my room. It kinda sucks, y'know? Good thing I'm not claustrophobic or somethin'. Yeaaaah..." She picked up her long tail to prevent it from dragging on the ground and began stroking it lovingly. It was true, though. She did miss sleeping under the stars with her troupe mates. No, it was more like she enjoyed the open space and quiet nights with her Leader.
Revi watched as Lennox carefully wiggled the doorknob, her voice dropping to a slight whisper as her face brightened up, "Yes! My troupe Leader. He always said really reassuring or encouraging things to me. Ah, he was the one that took care of me...."
She shook her head slightly and carefully looked around the hallway, making sure no one was heading their way before quietly answering, "Nah. I only know about herbs and stuff that'll help you if you're in a pinch in the wild an' stuff," she paused for a second, "so... what exactly are you? I mean, at first I thought maybe butterfly or fairy or something, but then there's the whole tail thing..."

Lennox's mind was focused most upon their surroundings. His pointed ears remained focused primarily upon their general surroundings. He did not see Revi as any sort of threat or danger, so he dismissed her as someone to watch. That meant he could keep his attention tuned in to their surroundings rather then splitting it up. She was now just...well...a follower he supposed. There were things here that truly were far more dangerous then she was. He was sure.
Revi's sudden exclamation gave Lennox pause. His head lifted up a bit and he withdrew his hand from the door handle he was about to test. He turned, his multi-hued eyes widened a bit, then his expression turned to one of mild amusement. "I could show them to you." He offered, his tail gently swayed behind him as he made a motion upwards. "I know the way to the courtyard. I could show you the way up, so you could go see the stars when night time comes." His head nodded up and down a little bit for a moment as he considered the way. Providing he did not get lost like she had...or he had earlier. "Perhaps on the way up you will recognize the halls and find your way back to your own room too." He followed up with, then turned back to the door. He gently tapped the handle, then attempted to open it. Again the door swung open, and Lennox found himself peering into a very empty room. He gave a soft hiss of aggravation and left the door open.
"I think this hall is too close to the populated area. It's probably been picked clean. How do you feel about about going down a level?" He asked as he wiped his hands on his palms. His conversation was a little mixed at this point, as they seemed to be covering a lot of topics at once. Not that he minded actually. It felt good to have things to talk about with a new person. "This Leader person sounds like a good individual." He spoke as he quietly picked his way down the hall towards the nearest set of stairs. "Someone like that, who cared for you and offered such words. You must miss him terribly."
Lennox's steps came to a pause when Revi would ask him what he was. He turned a little bit, and parted his lips into a smile that showed the points of his teeth. "There are two different types of faeries. The ones that everyone is told of in this day and age, and the ones that are the true source of those tales." Lennox spread his arms to either side as well as his wings upwards some. "People have forgotten that faeries are not all sweet and innocent creatures. They can be fierce and dark. Dangerous and jealous creatures. I am not claiming to be one of those however. I was not raised in the way of the faerie so...I suppose I can not really speak for them much. I can tell you that we are not all tiny humans with glowing wings though. You were correct in your thinking regardless. I am a fairy...beyond that I am afraid I can not tell you more."

Reverie suddenly came to a stop, her eyes widened in childish awe as she looked up at Lennox with her mouth opened in a small 'o', "Really?" The expression faded as she leaned forward, narrowing her eyes at the dark-skinned man, "You aren't lying are you?" And just as quickly as she had gone from amused to suspicious she suddenly calmed down. She straightened her back and waved a hand at no one in particular, "No no. I trust you... but... will you take me there? Do you promise?"
She followed after Lennox and shrugged at his suggestion to go down a few levels before casually saying, "Whatever. It can be an adventure. The suspense!" She waved an arm in front of them dramatically as she rambled on about the things they'd come across and what kinds of patients (or creepers as she liked to call them behind closed doors) they'd come across and how they'd sneaked slyly "scavenging" whatever the hell they wanted to. Her steps were precise and light, her heels making no sound as she made sure to not fall behind. Her steps had become perfectly synchronized with Lennox's reminding her that she needed to go practice her acrobatics later.
Every now and then Revi would glanced over her shoulder to check the winding hallway behind them or she would suddenly stop talking to listen to any suspicious sounds. After all, it wouldn't be any good if they got caught! She gave Lennox a quick glance before fiddling with the beads over her shoulders, she knew that she could probably get away if someone particularly scary showed up, but... she wasn't so sure about Lennox. She had never actually seen the man in action, but maybe he awesome super powers?
Or something like that... She frowned a bit, but what if he doesn't? I'd rather not pick a fight here since I'd have no where to hide if a creeper came back with a vengeance. Hm. Of course, if I did run I'm not nearly strong enough to just pick up Lennox and book it if he was just as powerless as me and it's not like I could just run off without him. Tch, that would be so lame of me. Huh. Well then...I guess we'll be royally fu -
Her negative thoughts were interrupted when she suddenly turned to stare at Lennox so quickly that she swore she got whiplash. She almost seemed to ponder his statement for a few seconds before smiling warmly, "Yes. My Leader... I do... miss him very much." She reached up to trace the tattoo on her neck, she no longer needed a mirror to see where each bit of ink was... no, she had memorized the pattern long ago.
Her finger continued to swirl around the side of her neck as she nodded slightly, stopping alongside Lennox. "Huh. You're certainly... interesting. Yes! Yes, you are. I don't think I've ever met a fairy, hm... well there was that one wom - no. She was a nymph, never mind... Oh! No worries," she tapped a single finger to her lips, "everybody's gotta have their secrets. Keeps life interestin', yeah."
She paused for a second before turned to look at Lennox as she chirped merrily while mimicking the motion he had made as he had explained his species to her.
"You're very dramatic."

"Lying?" Lennox gave Revi a strange look. She seemed to recant her suspicion and question before Lennox had a chance to think of a reason to convince her that he would not lie to her about something like that. Daniel had shown him the way to the courtyard, so he felt it was only right to show it to someone else. Though when he returned home he would have to ask Daniel if the Courtyard was one of those unknown places or something. If it had been a secret shared with him he did not want to make Daniel regret his generosity.
"Oh...well yes. I will take you there. I do promise." Lennox said as he smiled and pointed to the ceiling above. With the promise made, he turned his attention back to their current task. "I'm not much of an adventurer. I will agree that there is a sense of excitement in looking through things for little treasures. I found beads one time. I am hoping to find them again." He shared with Revi as she kept pace with him. She was remarkably quiet on her feet for someone that seemed so loud in personality. Now though she seemed to be keeping it reigned in. That suited Lennox well. It meant they were safer if they were quiet. He tip toed down a flight of stairs. His eyes always looking forwards, as if it did not occur to him to look behind him as he crept along.
It did not occur to Lennox that perhaps he had said something with weight or meaning to the words when he touched so briefly on this Leader of Revi's. It was spoken mostly as a afterthought. A simple passing comment on a observation of his. It was more the chirp that caused him to glance back at her. His eyes crinkled up a little as he grinned at Revi. "Yes. I suppose I am. It is in my blood I suspect. I apologize for it. Sometimes I wonder what I would be doing right now if I were not here. I like to think I would be in college, and that I would perhaps be in the Theater. Though if I were to tell Daniel that he would merely pick on me more about being even fruitier. Do you have a room mate Revi?"

Pleased at his words, Revi continued alongside Lennox. She had begun twirling the tip of her long tail in a circle as she pondered the idea of a star filled night, "Hmmm... I'm surprised there's even a way outta this place. I always figured I've never see flowers, stars, or the sky or even breathe fresh air after arriving here. How strange."
Dropping her tail to twist her fingers together behind her back, she leaned forward and peered over at Lennox curiously, "The only thing I've ever "found" was a mattress. I haven't really gone scavenging before, the idea never quite came to me, y'know? Makes me feel kinda bad, buuuut whatever. Survival of the fittest and dog eat dog or somethin', I 'spose." Her eyes then fell down to his feet as she wondered why he hadn't "scavenged" himself some shoes. Being barefoot in such a place surely didn't seem safe... or sanitary.
"Whoooa, what the hell? How are theatrics an' whatnot fruity? Performing is fun! The audience, the smiles, the applause..." She swooped her arms out and made dramatic hand gestures as she spoke, "I mean... well, I think we've done one or two plays before. The men, too of course!" She paused and shook her head, "Nope. I think I had a roomie, but I scared 'em off. Came back one night to find the idiot in my bed, the one that I stole, that I freaking carried back. Of course I gave 'em a piece of my mind and booted them out," she chucked softly as she spoke as if she were recalling fond memories. "Do you have a roomie? Daniel or somethin'? Mr. I'm-a-hater-of-performers?"
Clicking her tongue on the roof of her mouth quietly Revi suddenly reached out with a finger and began tracing the rainbow pattern on Lennox's arm just inches from his skin, if anything it looked like she was just wiggling her finger around. "In your blood, huh?" Dropping her hand back down to her side, she eyed his colorful wings for a few moments before quietly asking, "Were you ever bullied as a child?"
