Why would you live your life looking for the bad bits." </em><br/><br/>She had turned her head, ready to fire back since she didn't want to take crap from anyone right then.  However, as she turned her head, a sharp reply right on the edge of her tongue, the source of the voice was revealed to be Bobby.  And at this discovery, the retort on her tongue died as she felt a sharp pang of fear.  This was a guy that had killed people for looking at him the wrong way, so Medusa really had no desire to be on his short list.  So instead of saying anything, she just looked at him for a moment before she turned her head, her hair hiding her face from Bobby as she moved to follow after the rest of the group, grateful to Salem for moving on, even claiming that Medusa did have a right to know the answers before saying that she didn't really known them.  A bit of respect rose in the street-raised girl as Salem showed her respect, something that Medusa knew that she hadn't earned in the eyes of anyone around here.<br/><br/>When they arrived at the top of the stairs, Medusa stood off to the side and listened as Salem announced that they were near the dorms.  When it was her turn, she took her room key and number along with the list of the rules.  She chuckled a little bit at the rules as most were what she imagined were fairly standard for any dorm room setting.  But then there were other rules that could only exist in a place that housed mutants.  One of them just so happened to be "No Using Your Powers to Spy on Someone."  The very fact that something like that had to be added made her laugh and also made her wonder about the scoop of powers she would discover while she stayed here.  She suspected that it would be interesting, which was always a good thing in her mind since if things got boring, she would be prone to making her own fun and who knew what that might entail around here.<br/><br/>Once Salem had released them, most of the students took off to find their dorms, but Medusa stayed.  She could do that later after the tour, she knew.  However, one thing that she felt she had to do was talk to Salem.  The girl was doing her best to make this comfort for the group, some of which were probably terrified and some that, like Medusa, didn't have anywhere else to go.  She hadn't really deserved to have Medusa very nearly ruin her tour.  Seeing the young woman standing by herself, Medusa approached her and leaned on the balcony a few feet from her.  There was a brief moment of silence until she knew that she had Salem's attention, which was oddly difficult given you couldn't see her eyes under the visor to know for sure unless her head was turned in your direction.<br/><br/><strong>"Hey.  Look, I'm sorry about being a bit of a bitch back there,"</strong>she said,<strong>"I guess I was kinda caught off guard when everyone started looking at me and I reverted back to what I know best.  I appreciate you not lashing back at me like you could've."</strong>She fell silent for a moment, letting her apology sink in.  She knew she had a reputation of being a bitch and it was well earned.  She could be a massive bitch, especially to someone that deserved it.  However, she also tried really hard not to be a bitch to someone that didn't deserve it and Salem hadn't deserved it.  After a minute, she would start talking again.<strong>"So you've been here a long time, huh?"</strong>she asked,<strong>"What's this place really like?  I mean, beyond the tours and everything.  This many mutants in one place.  It has to be crazy sometimes."</strong>She looked at Salem, hoping to get a bit of a hint at how this place could normally be, but even as she did this, one eye was keeping an eye out to see where Bobby was and what he was doing.
