Christopher let out a soft chuckle at Celeste's' comment. "If you think Rivers is quiet you must be going deaf." He gave a thoughtful smile, she was correct, he had probably spoken more to her than any other person alive, including his doctors back in the asylum or his own parents. "Guess you are just a bad influence." And perhaps she was right, maybe he should be a bit more approachable and actually speak to people, but old habits were hard to kill and he had learned since a young age that talking to people or just talking in general just got him into trouble and made people look at him weird. Other than Celeste and Rhen, maybe even Nadia, he had never met anyone that would encourage him to be, well himself.<br/><br/>He looked up towards the house when he noticed Celeste look over her shoulder only to spot Nadia approach with a tray. His stomach gave a rumble, how come he was always hungry when he saw her? She was turning him into Pavlov's dog! He moved slightly to make some space for her to join them. He sat idlily chewing on a sandwich she made (perfectly the way he liked them) as the two woman exchanged information, this was new, they never discussed this kind of things with him around. Either Nadia was distracted, or maybe she was just starting to trust him a little. He was just about to ask what a Mambo was when the conversation turned back to him and he struggled to swallow his sandwich uncomfortably.<br/><br/>"I didn't mean to offend Celeste, this is the only place I have ever felt even sort of comfortable in the least. But my.... gifts.. make my life difficult, even under others gifted I am regarded as a freak."  He smiled slightly when she mentioned the earlier incident. " Celeste, are you watching me? " he joked (oh what was happening to him?! Joking!) before becoming serious again" But yes, I didn't have a vision. I think I heard Rivers thoughts. But hearing others thought, I thought maybe I just imagined it. Then right now I heard (crap, what was her name?! Mary?)..... that girl as well. They are not comfortable with me around it seems. So it seems now I<i>hear </i>people's thoughts as well"
