Darden groaned and slowly opened his blue eyes, widening when he suddenly saw a man in his face.

Nathan grinned mischievously and inquired, 'So who are you?'

Nate grinned and nodded, 'So Anthony must have brought you home, then? I didn't think he trusted me enough to leave any of his friends alone with me.' He backed off a little, his stomach calling him to the fridge at the moment. 'So why are you here anyway? I know Anthony's at class,' he inquired as he wandered into the kitchen.

Nathan raised an eyebrow as he rooted through the fridge.Anthony was usually pretty reserved. It wasn't like him to bring anyone home with him unless the situation was very serious or he was close to that person. So either something dire had happened or someone had a crush.... 'Why don't you have anywhere else to go?' Nate asked, pulling out some sandwich materials.

"because I don't know anyone... or where I am... or where anyone I can go to is. This is the first time I've even seen other people."

Nate looked at him over the refrigerator door. 'Did you say this is the first time you've seen other people? How is that possible?'

"when I was a baby, my mother left me in the woods. I've lived there my entire life. but recently I wanted to know... so I left today, early this morning, only know what she looked like. Course I know she may be dead by now, but I wanted to try."

Nate remained silent, no words coming to mind. The only thing he could do was to wonder why Anthony would leave him alone with a crazy person. Or even why he would bring a crazy person home. '....so.... Anthony doesn't know you, then?' he finally asked.

"no, but he's been really nice, explaining things I didn't know."

Nate absently responded, 'I'm sure he has been.' He looked at his watch, relieved to see that Anthony should be arriving back soon. He fell silent as he made his sandwich, occassionally glancing at Darden to make sure he wasn't up to anything suspicious.

Darden just sat there for a bit, starting to feel restless.
He wanted to run, to race, to feel the wind as he made his way through the trees... but he couldn't.
There was no room to run, no one to race, and no trees to run through...
But his eye did spy a small plant, in some kind of containment on a table thing by the window and made his way over.
"Philodendron" he said knowingly, the spirits had taught him the name and showed him images of all types of plants and animals so he was well learned.
Darden just smiled at the small plant, before letting out a quiet sound, a small whistling noise that sounded like the wind through the trees.
His heart ached at the small reminder of his home, but he ignored it for now as the plant responded, swaying as if blown by a small breeze, the same whistling noise coming from it.
Whatever it said, Darden couldn't help but laugh at it, must have been funny.
He swiftly responded, asking questions about this new place, where there were so little plants and animals, hoping for any answers he could get.
Darden didn't have to wait long till he got a response from the small plant, and he listened intently so that he could learn anything.

Anthony fished his keys out of his pants pockets as he twisted the door knob to his apartment, expecting to find it locked. When it opened he concluded that Nathan had come home as he expected. What he saw when he stepped into the living room and looked through to the kitchen, however, was not his room mate, but Darden seemingly engrossed by one of the plants they had managed to keep alive. '...what exactly are you doing?' Anthony asked as he slipped off his shoes. 'And where's Nathan? I hope he didn't bother you too much.' (Nathan barricaded himself in his room after making his sandwich. )

((lol)) "Nathan went to his room." he nodded, holding up a hand to the plant to pause it in it's whistles.
"and I was talking to your Philodendron, trying to figure out things I don't know. It's really quite funny." he chuckled.
