Xikari was confused by the stranger's expression and then his words. At first he seemed shocked, then he gave a smug look and spoke of her being rather respectable. It was confusing because she felt that what she had said was rather rude. For a few moments after speaking he seemed to stand there thinking to himself. Whilst he stood there being weird she examined the room and the picture with more intensity. Everything was coated with a layer of dust. Particles of dust lingered in the air making her nose feel tingly with every breath. 

When the jerk-like stranger spoke again, it was only confirmation at how much of a rude jerk he really was. But perhaps, that was just the way he was raised? Or maybe he was like her and didn't have any family to begin with. At least, that's what she had thought, she couldn't remember anything before arriving at Aquastone. 

"Follow him?" Xikari replied to the other after he too had spoken. She was simply observing everything and listening but had finally decided to interject. "Hm." The girl would have chosen not to follow the boy up the stairs seeing as he was not someone she wanted to associate herself with. But it seemed they were all in the same situation, stuck in a strange place away from home, so they would most likely be stuck together for a while. 

After a moment of hesitation, Xikari tiptoed up the stairs, hoping that no one would be there to attack. Upon coming up behind the other two boys she noticed it too. The upstairs was cleaner than downstairs. No dust. It concerned her, who was lurking around this place? "It's so different than downstairs, isn't it? Something isn't right"
