"Knowledge." David answers, finding the last of the books that he decided were good for Bonny to start with. "Skills and talents are also things I pick up from people. Don't worry, I can't absorb memory based knowledge like who your first kiss was." He chuckled. David proceeded to talk to a table, carrying a few of the selected books in his own arms, while the rest were with Bonny. Spreading them out and picking them out of Bonny's arms allowed him to organize the books by what events were focused on in each of them. 

"You said your grandparents were mutants?" He tried sparking up another conversation as he sat down in a chair, sliding one of the books to Bonny. "If you don't mind, what kind of mutations did they have?" if she was going to be in a group with Sally, they were going to be in the library quite a bit, so it didn't seem to hurt anyone to get to know the new kid a little better. 

The bell rang, the second period was over.

"Well, I'll keep these books reserved for you, Sally, and the other guy. You should get moving to your next class."

Emma would have been lying if she had said that she wasn't surprised to have been hugged by Rosemary. She knew that she had been making better progress than Booker at trying to get her to open up, but Emma didn't realize until just now how important she seemed to be in Rosemary's eyes. 

One hand wrapped around Rosemary, the other brushing her shoulder. "There's nothing that could have been done to prevent this." She said softly. Even after the Apocalypse, when mutant relations had finally been improving, people continued to attack Mutants. It was only a matter of time before people found my school or this one."

She let go and smiled at Rosemary. "You would have made an excellent Warlock. Even though you aren't mystical in nature, they would have loved having you around."

Then the bell rang, signalling the change of classes. "You should get moving, Rosemary. Doctor Smith is waiting for you in his office." Whoops. She might have peered into Rosemary's mind, and also might have warned Booker about Rosemary's plan to ask her about changing her schedule. 

Oh well.

Shawn looked to the school as the bell rang. Hank was already working on escorting the students back inside, and Shawn knew that it was probably a good idea. He was going to say something to Heidi, but took the bell as a sign to not say it. Though, he still did wonder. Did her supercomuter of a brain remember the moment like he did? She, who was capable of thinking of all of the things, surely had to.

"Let's get going." He ushered her back inside, thinking back on his question. "I'm sure you don't even need to worry about the work or anything, but some of us need to study to ace a math test." He couldn't remember how many classes they shared, but that was his next destination. He was too busy thinking about other things to even try to remember.

But then came another question.

Did she hear them too?
