Nya felt a strong wave of anxiety when she asked Seril about the Anomalous. [i]I shouldn’t have asked that. I’m revealing too much and it’s gonna come back to bite me in the ass. Shut up about the stupid Anomalous.[/i] The anxiety turned to slight fear and then dissipated as quickly as it arrived. Nya casually glanced around the room while Seril asked about her life in Focal. She was glad for his subject change. “It’s basically what you see here,” she answered. “Being the political hotspot for Markson kind of makes us a business hub as well. We have more poverty stricken areas, of course, but our drivers avoided those areas, as I’m sure you can understand.” She liked having more control over the conversation. It gave her the edge over what was and wasn’t discussed so there’d be no surprises. [i]Like how you’re a total freak[/i] , she thought. The idea came out nowhere and it startled her. She noticed Seril staring at her silence so she continued. “I noticed a girl from my school is here too. Her name is Paige. She’s kinda cutesey for Guard training but I think you’d like her if you go to know her. We basically grew up together. Her family is set to be on the Council soon and I know she’s excited about that. It’ll open a lot of doors for them that they may not have had access to otherwise.” She walked farther into his room and sat on the edge of his bed. She looked around at the few personal things he had out. There weren't many things that gave away what kind of person he was. [i]He’s so private, [/i] she thought, [i]just the kind of roommate I was hoping to avoid. I guess I’ll have to try harder.[/i] “So , Till?” she asked. “Are you a farmer? I like your accent by the way. You shouldn't hide it so much.” She looked up at him, amused.
