"I think I understand. Elevators go from level to level, and trains go to different places on each level," Anakin repeats back while looking around the cafeteria.

Anakin remembers the message he received earlier that evening about the location of his room as he studies the map Reiri indicated.

"We're on the first level, that means my room is around here somewhere, too?"

Reiri wondered when this question would come up. The sad thing is that his room is two room away from the the cafeteria. She tries to tell him in a way that does not make him feel stupid. "Yes, you are in room 104. The odd number rooms are on the left and the even number rooms are on the right. Room 101 is there on the left of the cafeteria and room 100 is on the right. Your room is two doors pass room 100."

Apparently, Reiri's attempt is very weak.

Anakin feels the heat rise in his cheeks, knowing that the unmistakable red hue was flooding them. Here he had spent the last few hours going up and down levels -- he hadn't even stepped foot on the trains yet for fear that they would whisk him away and make him even more lost -- and his room was probably less than twenty paces away from where he'd been standing.

He studies the tip of his boot for a moment as if noticing the scuff-mark there for the first time. "That... would make sense," Anakin replies, looking up at her.

Reiri looks away at the blushing boy. It is an easy thing to be embarassed by and the vampire didn't want to make Anakin feel too bad about it. Pretending that she doesn't see the redness of his face, Reiri goes on.

"The bathrooms are on the end of the hallways on either side. It's a communal bathroom so the men share on bathroom and the women share the other. In between the cafeteria and the bathrooms are people's rooms."

Anakin tries to memorize this; cafeteria in the center, rooms on either side, bathrooms at the end of the halls. It seemed simple enough, and Anakin was beginning to wonder how he had gotten lost in the first place. Anakin glances at the map for the last time before asking, "Is there anything else on the first level?"

It didn't seem strange for there to be so little occupying one floor, but Anakin still thought there was could be something else.
