 Travis' room is the third bedroom on the left. Compared to the other bedrooms its almost dull but if it were much more Travis wouldn't know what to do with hirself. It's usually free of clothing but CDs and books are everywhere, a few drawings of trees, animals and people are taped to the wall around hir dresser and hir bag is usually in the center of the room if not with Travis hirself. The bed us made somewhat neat every day but it usually has books or other things hidden in the folds of its blankets. The bathroom is small but hir own. Its bound to get even more cluttered after Travis starts collecting things from outside.

Walking into the room Travis felt at peace. A large bed all to hirself, nothing on the walls yet, sie would fix that when sie went outside. Sie had some knicknacks that sie could put up, hir music that would take up most of whatever it decided to be on, and the view. It was wonderful.
Turning to look at Zaku sie breathed out a soft "Wow." as sie set down hir bag near the bed. "I haven't had a room to myself since I was ten..." sie mumbled out petting the comforter on the bed.

Zaku looked around the room as well. "This is a nice room...it's a bit big for me, but you seem to be right at home already." He peered out the window to see what was going on outside, then turned back to Travis. "I've never had a room to myself before, much less a nice room like the ones here. Isn't it neat? The only thing better would be to be out there...well, at least, that's how I feel, but it's nice to have a place like this to go to. So where are you from?"

"I know what you mean..." sie murmured looking outside and getting a vague look on hir face at the question "Around," leaning down and grabbing hir bag sie started taking out the CDs sie had managed to collect and started stacking them on the table beside hir bed. "You?" sie turned to look at him while still taking out CDs.

"I'm not sure, actually." Zaku said quietly. "I know that my parents left me in an orphanage in Rapid City, but other than that I really have no idea. I doubt they were from Rapid City, considering how I don't look like anyone there. Dunno, my eyes are shaped different and stuff. And everyone here is older than me, it's really weird." He looked at the CDs Travis was pulling out. "And everyone has more stuff than me, too..."

Travis smiled and felt an unfamiliar attraction to to Zaku "Some of the kids in the halfway homes I grew up in would form little groups, almost like family's..." sie rummaged through some of the last remaining CDs in the bag and pulled out a small stone "Here, I want you to have this. It's my worry stone, whenever I needed to concentrated or get something out of my system I would hold it in my hand and rub at the grove there, thats why its so smooth. I think that one is four years old." Sie held it out to Zaku and looked at him steadily.

Zaku took the stone quietly. "A...a gift? For me? Thank you!" He beamed brightly at Travis. "I wasn't really at any of the orphanages long enough to make friends. Unfortunately, I didn't have control of the wind then like I do now, and I used to do a lot of damage without meaning to, so...well, yeah...anyway, I think I'm gonna head back to my room. You're welcome to join me, if you want."

Travis smiled back and tried to block out the reaction the boy was feeling, "Ok, just let me get some things." He leaned over his bag and pulled out a small notebook and a stub of a pencil. "Just in case." He mumbled in a little tune and then turned around to face Zaku "After you." he opened the door.

Zaku nodded and walked through the door. "Thanks. Just in case of what, though?" He looked at Travis apologetically. "Sorry, I have really good hearing, if you don't want to say, that's fine." He headed for the door to his room and held it open for Travis. "One good turn deserves another."

Travis did a little nod at what Zaku said "Its just something I heard once, when I was channeling accidentally... it stuck with me though." sie nodded in thanks as sie walked into Zaku's room.
((to your room?))

The lump called Travis decided that now was as good a time as ever to get up. Crawling out from the covers and nearly falling on hir face sie stood up and pulled the blankets into something that resembled a made bed. Sie walked into the bathroom and stood under the water for a while before putting fresh clothes on. Smelling the food that was being made in the kitchen sie pulled on socks and made hir way to the kitchen.
((off to the kitchen : D prepare to meet Travis the coffee addict))

Stumbling in and slamming the door Travis dove for hir bag and brought out hir earbuds, shoving them into hir ears sie turned on the CD player and put it on loud. Grabbing hir notebook and pencil sie sat down on hir bed and started drawing what the thought that wasn't hir's wanted. Skulls, many many skulls became solid on the paper. Sie continued to draw more and more, filling up the page, going on to the next one and the next one. Travis came out of the stupor and tried to suppress the overwhelming fear that was making itself known. Laying down and letting the music block everything out as sie sorted through the memories that weren't hir's.

Turning of hir music Travis sat up slowly and rubbed hir burning eyes. Sie didn't sleep last night, hir brain too active with the memories that had pummeled hir yesterday. Sie needed coffee. Sitting up and feeling the ache in hir body sie stretched and tried to warm up. Scooting out of bed sie walked out of hir room and to the kitchen.
((to the kitchen))
