Mai had been silently watching the newcomer pass through the hallway from the opposite side of her bedroom. She had kept her door cracked open to let the air circulate through, and instead left it that way for a bit. People watching--person-watching, more like--was more interesting than staring at a wall.

Besides, she couldn't really get away with throwing knives in her room, anyway, since it technically wasn't hers. Grumble.

The young man looked vaguely familiar--he was the one making the pithy comments on her arrival, wasn't he? All the more reason to just sit back and let him suffer the move himself. He was about as helpful as a toothpick back then.

He sure was relentless, though. He didn't stop once to rest until (presumably) all of his belongings were up the stairs. Hearing the labored breathing down the hallway, Mai took this as her cue to get up and scope out the fellow who would be ruining her blissful floor of sweet solitude.

Was it really worth the bother? Wasn't it kind of giving up to start decorating? It's not like people need decorations to survive. On the other hand, it's not as if living in a drab prison cell is going to teach anyone but the occupant a lesson. Prison cells... what if they all went on a hunger strike? The Malnosso would probably ignore that, wouldn't they. Or perhaps not. Whatever.

Kyon's thoughts occupied him to the extent that he didn't notice the girl approaching him -- hadn't, in fact, noticed her presence before, when he'd moved stuff up, either; he rather thought this floor was empty, for reason.

Mai stopped at this doorway, watching him blankly as he shuffled through his belongings. He looked unassuming, which was a plus--hopefully meant he was unpopular. Mai would prefer the floor to be as void of visitors as possible.

Or at least, if they were there, she didn't want to know it. He looked quiet enough.

Mai's eyes surveyed his belongings. They looked plain, boring. Good. It would have been unfortunate if something exciting came along to cut into her complaining.

"You have a lot of stuff." Mai observed dryly.

Kyon jumped back in surprise at hearing the sound of her voice. Wait, that was a mildly familiar voice, wasn't it?!

He backed up against the wall, before looking at her and realizing she wasn't doing anything. Damn it, why did he always look like an idiot at moments like this?

...Sigh. Naturally.

"Not that much," he said, finally, gesturing. "Thought there wasn't anyone else here."
