It was pure luck that Ticobell had managed to find the unused closet, for every other room he bothered to open had either been locked, occupied, or unfit for residence. Sure it was kinda small and cramped, but it was the perfect spot for the Necromancer to spend his afternoons in solitude. He was currently on his third run back from his old home with bags and armfuls of books to the closet when he tripped in the common room, disrupting the atmosphere. Tico squirmed uncomfortably the stares boring into his very being. As his cheeks flushed crimson, he began to slowly pick up the scattered works of literature, a new-found desire to curl up and disappear right then and there.

Enfer hummed to himself, his pet raven Aku perched atop his head as he carried an arm full of books within his arms to add to his board back at his room. He stopped midstep, tilting his head to the side when he saw someone trip. It was a girl. He had never met her before but she appeared to be in a pretty awkward situation. Enfer set his books down and approached her, helping to pick up some of the things she dropped with a kind smile. "Do you mind if I help you?"

"Er, yeah I guess.." was all Tico could manage to choke out. His eyes still staring at the floor. Once all the books had been picked up, he turned and looked to the dragon-like person helping him. "Thanks" he said quietly. The two then began to make their way to the necromancer's closet-room.

Echo noticed two people near a small closet. "Walking up she realized it was Enfer and someone she didn't know. "Um, hi. That looks kinda small. Are you sure you want to stay there? I know we don't know we don't know each other, but I have a few extra rooms in my treehouse if you want to stay there. I'm Echo by the way." She stuck her hand out.

"It's no problem. Oh, I guess I should introduce myself...I'm Enfer, I kinda have multiples personality disorder so Aku, my raven, makes sure to keep them in check," Enfer says, giving a nervous laugh. "So who are you, I've never seen you around the cult before?"

Ticobell smiled "Ah, so that explains the bird. He's pretty cool by the way!" Tico lets out a short but nervous laugh."It's a lot nicer the have something sentient outside of your body than some feral... thing on the inside. Oh! Ah, I'm kinda new around here." He replied.
He then turned to face this new presence that had come up behind them and had taken up Echo's hand with his er, normal-ish one. "I'm Ticobell. It's real nice to meet you echo." he said somewhat shyly. "I'd love to take you up on your offer, but my skin can't take much more than a few minutes of sunlight on a good day. Plus, this walk-in closet is pretty much the only room I can find down here."

Echo laughed. "I wouldn't mind closing the curtains and everything in the left wing. I basically live in a mansion. We can take the tunnel there and the elevator up. That is, if you do want to move in." She blew some of her brown curls out of her face.

Aku cawed, flapping his wings as he pecked Enfers head getting a groan of pain from the hybrid as he tapped the bird on the head with one of his talons. "I can't stand the sunlight either, that's why I'm nocturnal and my room is in the darkest place I could find outside," Enfer explained as he peeked his head inside Tico's "room" to see how small it really was.

Ticobell immediately halted stuffing his beloved collection into the cramped space that Enfer was sticking his head in a and looked questioningly at Echo. "Is there a library in your East wing? And are outsiders able to get in?" He wanted to be certain before he made any decisions. He couldn't... he wouldn't... Ticobell outright refused to risk being seen by normal humans again. Not after all he went through to get away from them the first time.

"Echo's home is like a mansion, so inner you can keep them there. If not, you could add them to my collection that I keep with my board, no human has ever made it out alive when it came to stealing from me," Ender said In a sing-song voice.

Echo gave a small giggle. "A huge library, i have two, i love reading. And Humans, no, they're not allowed in. Cult members, yes. But I can tell them to leave the East wing alone if you want." She smoothed her dress down a little

Ticobell felt overwhelmed by the kindness of two strangers he had barely even met. However, he was still paranoid and unsure. Sure they were fellow cult members, but they still held a higher rank than he did while he was still considered just a snack. While Tico allowed them access to his books, he still did not fully trust them. "I don't know... I have to think about this a little more. I just... I don't know who I can fully trust yet, comrade or otherwise. Especially since I'm here out of desperation." The young man slightly bowed his head, a sad look briefly crossing his face "Surely you can understand?" He dearly hoped they would, and that they wouldn't try to pry about his past. He still wasn't ready to talk about certain things yet.

Echo nodded. "I completely understand. And please don't think I'm offering you a space for the fact of you being a snackrifice. I would really enjoy you there. But like I said, I completely understand your nervousness." Echo looked up at Enfer and Tico (being only 4'8) "If you ever need a friend or someone to talk to or just listen, I'm here." She smiled, showing her missing tooth. (She's technically only 7 in her clan)

"I agreed with Echo, if you ever need to talk to someone, just come to us," Enfer said with a sharp toothed grin

Although the reassurances provided from the two weren't much, they were enough to get Ticobell to begin trusting them. "Thanks, both of you." He lifted his bag up and began putting more books away in the cramped walk-in closet. "Now if your don't mind helping me, let's finish unpacking!"
