It fell quiet, but Tai enjoyed the silence. It let him think, and relax, since people became less of a priority and he could clear his head, focus his mind and energy on what he would have to do next. Admittedly, next at this point was waiting for the other teams to arrive so they could leave, but still, it let him relax and wind down from the fights, and walking.

Then the talking started again as Robert spoke up, giving them his backstory, then Priscilla spoke up, giving them her backstory, and then Greyson spoke, giving them his backstory. Tai listened alertly, even if he didn't show it, though he still refused to call them his teammates when it wasn't set in stone that they were going to be a team yet. He wasn't about to make assumptions like that when they might be wrong. Sure, that's what the facts would indicate, but there was still a significant possibility that that was not what would happen.

Still, he got the distinct feeling once more that he had a monopoly on good luck with this group, seeing as they all had this tragedy, bad luck, and all around not good lives before coming here, whereas he was pretty much ordinary, as ordinary as anyone coming to Beacon could be, really. he shook his head once people had finished, to indicate he didn't have any questions, but otherwise kept silent. It wasn't like they were pushing for him to spill his lifes story, and until he was sure they'd be a team he didn't want to become overly attached. So he sat, and watched, and waited.
