"Well, uh, I'm sorry to hear that. Hmm... I wonder were I used to live... I don't even know if it was north, south, east or west of here... you know, this is the most i've talked to anybeast in awhile. Sometimes I wish I had somebeast that I could just talk normaly to. Not one that made me feel stupid all the time like most of the beasts here do." *When he talked to most of the beasts around the house, they seemed to make a point of proving how ineffective he was at being social, even if they did do it unintitionally.*

"Well, once you factor in the part where you've had such little time to re-establish your social skills... Are you really that inept? Yeah, you look older, but... No offense, but your mind doesn't play the part, they can't judge you on that." In fact, she doubted that they did. Kade just looked extremely self-conscious to her, although that was unacceptable in itself. Does he know how old he is, even?

"That there is the problem. It's not necessarily that my mind doesn't play the part it's just that when beasts say one thing and mean another, I just tend to not understand. I think they called the connotations or something like that, I dunno... I just don't get it and that creates some pretty bad situations on my end because I'm the only one that doesn't understand whats going on and that is what makes creatures think i'm stupid or something. Maybe not the ones living here but everywhere else it always happens and I'm always judged... hence me not getting out to much. Oh yeah, and I don't get jokes, as you've already found out. I take everything to literal I guess. As for being older... I'm pretty sure I'm sixteen or somewhere around that. Dantin's sixteen and we look about the same age so I guess that would make me near his age."
*Kade had never realised that he knew these things about himself. Not really the age part but knowing exactly what it was about him that made other's think he wasn't all there... which, in reality, he wasn't but thats not the point. The point is is that he now realised what it was about him that made his life hard. If only somebeast could help him with that now... Dantin used to help him but since his promotion Kade hadn't seen him that often. The others were to busy doing other things best left undefined. Besides, he doubted that they would help him anyways...*

"Well... I'm thirteen, as of today," Seria sighed. She was three years younger than Kade but had over a decade of experience on him. This made things a bit awkward on her part, as she tried to sort out the difference between physical and mental age in a very blatant context; it wasn't easy and all it raelly did was hinder speech. The fact that she had decided to disclose her own age, though, told both herself and Kade something that even the latter mouse couldn't ignore. "I... I'm kinda young... Compared to everyone here, especially. How am I gonna live here?"
This made her wonder if the best place she could be was alongside Kade. It was clear that so many beasts in the house were so clearly hedonistic that if she spent enough time around them, they'd eventually be able to do whatever they wanted to her and that wasn't something she wanted to imagine. However, if this mouse was capable of so effectively being alone so much, perhaps she could get herself some social shelter. "What do I do?"

*Kade looked over at Seria with a raised eyebrow, even such a creature as he was surprised by her telling her age. He was also surprised by the fact that she still wanted to live there.* "Your still intent on living here? Well, I've been labled as paws off in the house thanks to Dantin. He's the one that got Linx to say it and seeing as how this is Linx's house everybeast listens to him. Even so, I usually keep my door locked just in case. Thankfully they had some empty storage rooms and one got turned into a bedroom for me instead of having to take one of the two bedrooms that have four beds. It's not as small as you'd think with it being a storage room. It's on a bigger scale just like everything in the house is. I think there's another storage room but I don't know if it's empty or not... and if you did stay here we'd have to get Linx to do the same for you in saying paws off. Hmm... I dunno if he'd listen to me though."

"I don't know, the... Where's your room? Is it on the second or third floor?" At the time, Seria didn't know that the attic was just one large room devoted to holding the huge water tanks that powered the house's several faucets. All she knew was that even if she wasn't intent on living at the house, she had no more desirable choice and it would likely fare beneficially enough if she stuck around this Kade character. "I mean... You have your storage-converted-bedroom thing, I'm guessing it isn't where all the other bedrooms are. Not that the... Not that the bedrooms are the, uh, on the first floor, they tend not to be in multiple... I'm rambling. Just answer the question so I can forget I just made an idiot of myself." I'm acting like him!

*Kade smiled slightly at Seria.* "Your no idiot. As for your question, my room's on the second floor. Third floor is the attic and just holds the water tanks for the houses supply of water. We even get heated water too. It goes to all the faucets in the house. The other bedrooms are up on the second floor too but mines not connected to them, thankfully... it's down the hall around the curve and down the rest of the hall. A good ways away from their rooms, a fact of which I am gratefull." *-A fact of which I am gratefull? Who says that...- Kade thought to himself. Nice going sounding like a moron or whatever...*

"I think you... OK, whatever," Seria sighed resignedly, deciding to overlook Kade's seemingly blatant grammatical error at the end of his explanation. The talk about his room's location relative to the other bedrooms of the house was completely meaningless to her, as she didn't even want to try entering those. Instead, she decided to try shifting the topic to something more useful. "I heard Linx is busy with something I'm pretty much, uh, afraid to pry into." She offered a sardonic grin before continuing. "I'm not gonna ask him about my future or anything. Could I see your room in the meantime? It sounds reasonably tame..."

"Sure, it's just about the tamest room on the second floor. Except maybe the storage room. Of course we'll have to get past the other rooms which most likely have two or more beasts in them... one of them being Linx... yeah." *He wasn't about to go into any kind of explanation as to what might be going on in those bedrooms. He figured that Seria got the picture. Kade himself hated having to walk past those doors, especially when he knew that there was certain things being done behind them. Also, his lack of understanding complimented the fact that he didn't think anything of her wanting to see his room. Something that most any other beast would have thought much about right away.*

"Well, I hope they shut the doors," Seria shrugged. "Whatever. Their fun. Can we just see your room already? You told me this much about it, I'm curious... And what else are we gonna do, sit here and stare at the wall like you were doing before I came in here?" All she wanted at that point was to learn more about Kade. His apparent obsession with what seemed to be incessantly taking place throughout the rest of the house didn't help. As long as it didn't directly affect or involve him, Seria mused, he shouldn't have been so against the hedonism of the house's population.

*Kade shrugged his shoulders.* "When that happens, I don't even see the wall. I don't really see much of anything that's around me. I, as I've said before, just go into my own little world." *He stood at this point and stretched his legs. Apparently he had been sitting there for quite awhile. He then countinued what he was saying.* "You know, kinda like when you came in. I didn't even notice you untill you said anything." *In reality, Kade wasn't so much against what the household did as much as the amount that they did it. It seemed they could never get enough of eachother. But maybe that was what it was like to actually love somebeast. Either way, Kade didn't know. So in saying, he still was going to be wary of what they did, just maybe not be so vocal about how much it actually frightened him for frighten him it did for some reason. This change seemingly brought around by Seria's apparent lack of opposition against it. It also came about with Kade fully realising it, then again, alot of stuff did.*

"Yeah, well... There are some things in the actual world worth paying attention for. I'm not talking about those other guys, I'm talking about actually enjoyable stuff. You know what, whatever. Let's just go upstairs to your... Room... Yeah, that sounds really good, huh?" Seria didn't like the way it sounded; she barely knew Kade and the mouse had three years on her anyway. She stood slowly, not wanting to shock her body with a sudden change of position, and started towards the dining room, which would eventually get her to the living room. All that counter space is empty. They should just bust a door through there so you can go straight to the living room from the kitchen.

*As said before, connotations went straight over Kade's head. This being said, he didn't think much of what Seria said. All he knew was that, for some reason, she had a desire to see his room.* "Uh, yeah., I guess so" *To him, his room didn't seem all that interesting. One thing that most beasts would have thought as interesting, though, was that this was the house he lived in and he was now following Seria. A creature who had barely been in it anytime and hadn't even ventured upstairs yet. Something definintly odd but not to Kade seeing as how he wouldn't even know to think that.*

Seria headed back to the living room and glanced to the stairway, holding gingerly onto the banister as she walked up the steps. "My old house didn't even have a second floor," she murmured while slowly ascending to what she'd never really experienced before. The natural lighting the many fortified windows provided was sufficient to give her an idea of how spacious it really was. "It had stairs down to a cellar, but that was all... And you have a second floor! How much did all of this actually cost?"

*Kade shook his head.* "I wouldn't know. It was all bought and paid for by Linx. Safe to say, though, that it cost a fortune or two but seeing as how Linx has a lot of fortunes I don't think it made too much of a dent in his pocket. Plus with all the money he gets from his weapons and everything he makes just keeps building so... yeah, he has a lot of money. Obviously." *Kade was a bit surprised that Seria didn't use to have a second floor. The only places he's lived in since losing his memory had stairs. First the barracks and then this place. So in saying, he felt a bit foolish at not realising that other houses wouldn't have them. Not that Seria would even know he had been thinking all of this, of course.*
