"Hm? Oh, well thats fine. I'll find my way back eventually," Clover says with a wave of his arm, slowly inching himself closer to a corner in the room. "Although that might take a while too..."

Clover situated himself in his new spot as he turned to face Veronica. Taking a moment to realize that she sorta reminded himself of someone from a show he saw. And in the moment, decided to voice his thoughts out loud to her.

"You know, you remind me of character I saw from a show. I don't quite remember the name, but she could also bend rocks and sense the earth around her. You're also kinda short like her, but you can actually see.

She was blind." Clover stated from the comfort of his blanket.

"Hmm, yeah, I wish I could help out with that..." Veronica replied, a bit bummed on the inside that she couldn't really help him and stuff. She turned towards Clover once more, and snapped herself out again mentally.

"Oh?" She uttered as the boy described the character she reminded him of, nodding more and more as it took her a bit to realize.

"Yes, Toph, bingo", Veronica interjected right after his describing. "I... Yeah, I realize I do pretty much have the same kind of abilities as her. Hence why I also said that my power is kinda something cliché-y and referred to it as "Earthbending" Too."

"Yeah... Very cliché and superpower-ey, yeah...", she continued on, repeating herself a little bit as it really just dawned on her how she does seem like a non-blind Toph, even down to her wearing green usually as that's her favorite color.

"Well... Yeah, but... "Short" Too?" She continues even more, with a dumbfounded expression all through her speaking.
Shirley
"Oh yeah Toph! I liked her character a lot," Clover says as it clicked together for him. "And being related to her isn't all that bad. I mean, cliches exist because they work right?"

Clover understood it to an extent due to him being an aspiring writer. Seeing that most of his own stories often had cliche tropes or writing. He tried to make his own unique spin with each one however, like one short story of where he wrote about a family discovering that their relative is a shape-shifting, only for the twist to be that it was a family of animals. And that the relative was an animal shape shifting to a human.

"Yes, short. Cause you know, both of you are short." Clover explained making hand gestures to make sure his point made across.
Adrienne
"I guess so, yeah!" Veronica's face lit back up with that statement of "Cliches are because they work", a wide smile on her face as she was happy about him saying that. With the mention of her own shortness though, Veronica's left eye twitched as a reaction.

She let out an "...Eh?" With that, an upset look on her face. "Ya could've not repeated it though", she added before just breaking back into her smile from earlier.
Shirley
"Oh, my bad. I just wanted to make sure you understood what I said." Clover says explaining himself, not fully grasping that Veronica felt offended by being called short. As to him it didn't really mean anything at the moment, being short was just being short to him. 

He scratched underneath his bandages before pulling out his notebook again. Writing down notes but paused every few seconds, trying to make sure he got the details right.

*"Is short."* Clover muttered to himself writing it down, jotting down a close estimate of what he believed to be her height. He put it under the list labeled *'Things that remind me of the blind girl from avatar.'*
Adrienne
"Ah, yeah, okay then..." Veronica replied, now honestly not knowing what to talk about anymore. She looked up and about, trying to think of something to talk about more or something of the sort.

Standing still there for a sec, she sensed a slight... Movement? She turned back towards Clover and noticed it *Was* Him.

"Hm?" Veronica walked on closer to him "What ya doin...?" She asked before she heard his muttering and looked even closer.

"Oi, wait, yer... Yer writing up stuff-?", Veronica said as she figured out what he was doing under his covers.
Shirley
Clover didn't notice Veronica approaching until last second as she was quite close. He retracted his arms back into his blanket with a defensive posture, Clover looking back with a cautious expression. He wasn't exactly comfortable sharing his notes on other people, knowing that it looked rather weird and stalkerish. 

"Yes," Clover replied instinctively, "I'm writing about..
Stuff. You know, like people stuff. Those kinds of things. Like how flamingos are Grey when born?"

Clover had no idea what he was doing, but it seemed natural to him. And if seemed natural to him, then it must seem natural to others right? Despite his tired and monotone appearance, he was noticeably a bit nervous.
Adrienne
"Hmm, aye then..." Veronica already figured out he was just writing about her, but she just mentally shrugged and decided to just go with it since he's noticeably now nervous about it.

Backing off and going to the counter to take a sip of water, she recalled she was going to go for a walk and such earlier.

"...Ah, hmm" Veronica turned back to Clover. "Well, uhh, I probably talked at ya a tad too much there, just remembered I was gonna walk around the place and probably ask my contact about something too."

"Erm... Ya sure you're fine over here?" Veronica asked the admittedly-lost lad about his situation.
Shirley
Clover nodded along to Veronica, feeling a bit calmer now since the topic was changed. Despite his thoughts of doing fairly okay socially, he felt that it was probably better if he stayed away from people for now. So that he could get used to the new environment and all of that, or maybe stay in his room forever? Either option sounded rather doable with him.

"Me? Yes yes, I'm fine over here. Being by myself is a normal thing I do all the time." Clover says with a thumbs up, but due to his long sleeves was unable to properly the gesture. So he pulls back the sleeve a bit to show his hand."You do your own thing, don't need to pay attention to me anymore. In fact I think I'll try and find my own back."

The boy slowly rises and stumbles for a moment before attempting to walk off. But accidentally bumps in a corner on the way out, Clover giving a tiny *'ow'* And stopping to rub his forehead. He finally makes his way out of the room as he mutters that he wants to go home.
Adrienne
Veronica could only really look on and nod towards Clover as he said his talk and walked out. As someone who ended up being pretty much outcast by other students in her old school, the idea of liking being alone seemed a bit sad for her.

However, she shrugged it off once more, as she felt she really did just force herself onto him and talk to him when he wasn't all too into doing that as she just realized now. She let it go and just called out to him.

"Erm... Good luck on finding your room! Thanks for listening to me and such too!!!", Veronica said, knowing well the last parts would probably either be already out of earshot from him or wouldn't even be cared enough to hear by him, but yet she did still do it.

After that, she went off on her own way to roam around and about the facilities and such.
