Caroline tried to hide a grin. "I never said he lived here, but yeah. His name's Alex, but sometimes I wonder if we're really related. He can be such a hothead sometimes." She sighed and pushed a lock of hair that had escaped her ponytail back over her ear. "What about you? Do you have any family?"

Caroline stepped around the bags and said "I'm Caroline, I live just up the hall." Sitting down in the desk chair, she turned to face him. "Oh, did you get hurt somewhere? Do you want me to try healing it? I'm not as good as my brother, but I've been practicing."

Speaking of Kyron, little sister alert

Caroline was on her way back to her room to get some sleep when she heard music coming from one of the open doors. Poking her head in, she saw a boy there relaxing and listening to music. He looked kinda familiar, like she had seen him somewhere recently, but she disregarded that and spoke up. "Hey there, mind if I come in?"

im gonna make a filler post for Kyron, if anyone wants to go interact with him, go ahead. Lol Chuckkle maybe Caroline can go and rub it in how her big brother beat him down XD

Caroline's not like that. She'll boast about her big brother to people who AREN'T pissed at him, but she'll never willfully instigate like he does.

She takes things the wrong way, he should know that.

Which is strange for someone able to read the emotional state of a person by their aura

Just so you know, Alex wasn't trying to be distant to Nyx, he was just being distracted

"I could help you." Alex said quietly. "You don't have to be scared of hurting me. Just think about it, alright?" He collapsed the ice wall and turned away. "I won't bother you again until you're ready to talk, I promise." Then has an afterthought, he said "You're not weak you know. almost everyone here is afraid of hurting somebody." Then he walked out, passing Nyx on the way and patting her shoulder.

Alex didn't move to avoid the punch, not even flinching as the fist made contact. Hitting him was like hitting a brick wall. The flames had no effect on him, and Alex grabbed Kyron's face between his hands. "You're RIGHT, I'm not like you. I've had it far, FAR worse than you, so if you want to continue your little self pity party why don't I show you what TRUE torment is?" Alex's eyes flashed white, and in that instant a flood of disjointed memories and emotions assaulted Kyron's mind.

Sitting alone at a table, eating bread and cold soup. Trying to get his parents attention, but being pushed away instead. Crying in a corner, staring at a picture of his only friend. Being in the middle of a burning bus, surrounded by screaming people. Staring down at a still warm body, fresh blood on his hands.

"I felt like you do once." Alex said softly. "I thought that I could deal with all my problems by myself, but that stubbornness only led to more suffering. All I want to do is spare you that suffering, that ungodly amount of torment that comes from losing control. Do you truly believe that you can choose the right path all on your own?"
