I glanced up at the unfamiliar voice, only to find myself face-to-face with none other than one of the 'beasts'. Apparently I'll have to pay for the damage to the statue beside me. I am tempted to ask, 'with what?' but he cuts me off, informing me that his presence is certainly not because of me. Ouch. If I cared, I might have even been offended. I glanced at the book in his hand, eyes glancing over the familiar title, before replying in a mildly sarcastic tone. "Right. Sorry for, ah, disturbing you." My expression undoubtedly gave away my opinion of him and his cold air, but I turned, stuffing the finger between the lips of the cherub as I did, making it appear as though it were smoking some sort of cigar.

Kyle, chuckled a bit at the statues new image. And it seemed to him that he had been taken bit to seriously. He let himself smile at her little cigar baby statue fiasco.
"I was joking. No need to be so serious. And you don't need to worry about disturbing me, I was actually worried about scaring you. I mean, a new house with new people, who are not of the best reputation, due to a lot of rumors. Actually I feel kind of silly about the whole 'joke' it's not really my forte, Rex has always been better at that."
Kyle realized that he was babbling, and stopped himself. This was very unlike him, he needed to collect his thoughts. Best switch to a subject he had a fifty fifty chance of being right about.
