The dorm room door opens slowly and August walks in. "Before you read my mind, yes. I heard that."

[b]He turns and looks at you before waving his hand dismissively.[/b] " Doesn't matter, knew you were coming anyways. So, what were you doing?"
-
"Coming into out room.... I brought take out. You like Chinese?" He sets the boxes of food on the side table.
-
[b]He eyes them before putting his hand on his head.[/b] "Sorry was wondering if they were poisoned or not... Force of habit. Yeah im down." [b]He sits at the table and begins to eat.[/b]
-
"Ha! Poison." He sits across from Fetian and begins digging in with chopsticks. "So, who's the nanocyte?"
-
"One of my friends from a while ago. He takes care of me sometimes."
-
"Cool." He nods. "You in some kind of danger?"
-
"No, hes kind of like my big brother. He's the one who showed me the school."
-
"Oh, I see. Sorry for all the questions. Maybe you'd like to ask a few instead of answering?"
-
"Not really, already read your mind and learned what happened today... Pretty cool."
-
"Man. We need to talk about that. You can't just read everyones minds! It's a violation of privacy, bro. Not cool."
-
[b]He looks up confused.[/b] " whats privacy? And what do you mean i can't just read minds... I can do it so why not?"
-
"Dude. Some people say stuff in their minds that they would never say out loud. These things are to remain in there minds. Not yours. Look, I'm just gonna ask that you don't read my mind all the time. Choice is yours."
-
"Well, gotta make sure you aren't here to kill me. Can't be too safe, sides i do it to everyone. All these memories are... Troubling to maintain." [b]He says so casually, its like a normal conversation for him[/b]
-
"Right. Well, I'm not trying to kill you. Maybe you should learn some trust."
-
[b]He sighs and puts down the sticks.[/b] "Look, no matter how much i want to, i cannot trust anyone at all. Except for the nanocyte. Otherwise i assume everyone here is out to kill me."
-
"Why don't you trust me?" He leans back in his chair.
-
"Hmm? Oh its not just you. I don't trust no one. Mmm mm. If you trust where i'm from, you die. And that gets drilled into you. Cant forget it."
-
"Well. Let's drill something else into you. I'm not here to kill you. Say it with me. I. Am. Not. Here. To. Kill. You. Again." He smiles
-
[b]His face is blank.[/b] "Yeahhhhh. Tell that to my friend from 5 years ago, that changed all too fast."
-
He sighs. "Alright, fine."
