"Where are you going?" a voice called out almost innocently as Aiden stepped out from where he'd been leaning against the barracks, "It's kind of early to be going somewhere."

He couldn't see her very well in the dim light; she was just a shape right now. But it didn't look like a familiar shape and he had to wonder about that after the morning's letter. He smiled impishly and tried to look as innocent as possible. No one suspects the kid, right?

Jaime squeaked, and kind of jumped, but then relaxed a very tiny bit when she realized the voice belonged to neither fake!Mal, nor Sylar. She turned, squinting a little in the dimness. "I don't really think it's any of your business, where I'm going," she said before she shrugged. "Going to breakfast," she decided.

That actually seemed like a sound plan, though she wondered if she could trust anything here to be eaten. Maybe it was all poisoned.

Which was mostly a ridiculous thought, but ... well.

"You're a little bit jumpy for someone who just wants Cheerios," he pointed out helpfully, "I'm guessing you're not from here."

His brows raised as if challenging her, and Aiden waited for the response. He already knew the answer, mostly. She wasn't from around here and she was probably scared shitless. He grinned.

"Of course I'm not from here," Jaime replied. "But neither are you, right? You were somewhere else before you were dragged here."

Oh, she knew what he'd meant, but it was easier to jump onto the sarcasm and hide behind that than it was to try to play with any sort of logic.
