"What about your family?" Seregil asked, changing the focus a little. "Are you close to them?"

"I don't have much of a family," Andrew responded. "I've got an older brother, but we don't talk. And we were pretty much brought up by an aunt who resented us." He left it at that, not wanting to go into further details, and already looking very uncomfortable.

"You?"

My father disowned me because I murdered someone and destroyed his life's work. Seregil swallowed a hysterical laugh at imagining the reaction if he did say that. No, some things were better off not being brought into the light. "I haven't been in contact with them for a few years," he said instead. It was the truth, if not his choice.

Andrew nodded, relieved that Seregil hadn't asked any other questions about his family. Thinking it best to change the subject entirely, Andrew asked, "So what do you do for fun? Have any hobbies?"

"There's a number of things I'm learning that I find pleasure in," Seregil said vaguely, relieved at the change of subject.

"Do you like comic books?" Andrew asked, looking for some common ground.

Re: General Mingling

Seregil frowned slightly. "What are comic books?"

Re: General Mingling

Andrew's eyes went a little wide. "They're like stories that are drawn out -- fully illustrated." He thought about how to better explain them, but came up blank. "I'll have to show you some sometime. I'm in room 201 if you ever get the chance to swing by."

"I've been assigned room 506," Seregil replied. "If you want to swing by there..."

Re: General Mingling

"506," Andrew repeated to himself. "One of my best friends is up on the fifth floor and I spend a lot of time there. I'll make a point to come visit."

He smiled at Seregil and laughed a little nervous laugh.

"Good," Seregil said, returning the smile. "There's a lot I need to learn about this place. I could use a native guide to ask."
