Quiet Exploration-OTA

Asher made his way through the halls taking his time to see who was around. He had his hands shoved in his pockets his book tucked under his arm. This place always felt cold no matter how many layers he had on. It was one of the main reasons he didn't get out of his room too much. He made his way toward the mess hall figuring he'd get something to

Emma didn't know where the headache came from. Or what it was about. But she was over it already. Heading to the mess hall, she ignored anyone she passed until she reached the kitchen, took an ice pack from the freezer and had it firmly pressed to her forehead.

Once the cool was pressing to her temples, she took a minute to look around. Fairly quiet for the mess hall. And there was the gunsman that she hadn't spoken to yet. She couldn't even pick his name from the air right then.

This headache was killing her patience.

Asher looked up when the blonde came in. He didn't say anything as she didn't seem to want to talk. He watched her walk back and get an ice pack sipping at his coffee. He offered her a small smile when she turned and looked at him.

He seemed welcoming enough, so Emma took the few steps to sit in front of him, a small quirk to her lips all she could manage currently.

"Are you always so quiet?"

"There are some activities I get louder for,"he gave her an open smile.

His mind was easily accessible if she cared to look. Though the farther back his memories went the fuzzier they became. The only really clear details made it clear he was much older than he looked.

It was just her way, when she started talking to anyone, she fished a little in their mind. Nothing too in-depth. Getting too involved wasn't her thing, but she was nosy anyway.

"Well that's interesting," and she was only half talking about what he said.

"Head hurting you?" He nodded toward the ice pack. Asher couldn't remember if he'd heard about this woman or not. There was a lot of talk in camp about many different people.

She smiled softly, "Something like that, yes." Her head wasn't hurting her, other peoples thoughts were. Occasionally, with a group like this, and tensions as high as they were, Emma's barriers against stray thoughts broke just slightly, allowing the barrage of everyone's idle thinking to assault her.

"I'm Emma, you're Asher, right?" She'd found the name in his memories, it was what he was being called now, that much she knew, it wasn't his name though.

"That's me. Nice to meet you Emma,"he gave her a smile. He wasn't even bothered by her in his mind he was used to other's powers by now. Asher wondered just how much she'd seen but didn't really care either way.
