Chad was surprised by Isabella's straight forward kindness. He hadn't even talked to her yet. He believed that most people were either  intimidated and fearful of his size, or they pitied him for his poor intelligence. Everyone here was very nice to him, but he still thought they pitied him for his stupidity. But Isabella couldn't know he was dumb yet, she hadn't talked to him. Yet she was still nice to him, for no reason. He smiled at her, he figured there were some people who were nice to him simply because Chad had been nice to them, but she hadn't given him a chance to be nice yet.<br/><br/>This was new to him, he was usually the one to show kindness first, he always thought that he had to be nice to make up for his incompetence, as that was the one thing he could do right. Not that he thought you had to be dumb to be nice, everyone else here seemed both smart and kind. But Isabella was the first to make him feel like she wasn't pitying him or judging him, she just wanted him to know she wasn't afraid of him, that felt good. The others may not be judging him, but he did feel like they pitied him, like so many kind people tended to do. He always wished people would just like him for him, not feeling like they had to because he was someone you had to be gentle with since they saw him as an innocent little kid at heart. Which he kind of was, but he wanted to be seen as a capable teen, someone who you could like as a friend, not as you would some child who needed to be cared for. Maybe Isabella thought as everyone else did just by looking at him, but he wanted to hope she would like him for him. He was going to go talk to her when Lady Violetta started talking.<br/><br/>Chad was confused, he didn't know what she meant by PLT and equipment belt, as he never got those. He also wasn't sure how to make his pets ready, but he understood to go to the bedroom floor, he just had to remember how to get there. Luckily he watched Lady Violetta go so he would just do the same thing she did. Just as he was about to go, he stopped, and looked around. He wanted to make sure Angela could make it to the stairs okay, he saw Nuareen was helping her. He smiled, he was glad that neither of them seemed to fell alone anymore. He looked to see that Eira was with James, he looked back at Isabella and decided to wait for her. It would be good to talk to her a little bit.<br/><br/>-------<br/><br/>James walked with Eira to the stairs, then signed.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #00BF00">Ladies first.</span></span></span>He then yawned, he still felt out of it. He hadn't eaten anything, he was just being too sluggish and hadn't had time to.
