The Xavier Institute was larger than Dolemeck had expected. He figured it would be the size of the private school he attended back at home. But this? This was twice it's size! He could not help but feel somewhat intimidated about attending a school that was of this size, or one that was different from the schools back in England.

The cab driver was helping to get his suitcases out of the trunk, while he stood in awe. He would have helped the cab driver, only he was not allowed to lift anything physically. The back injury he suffered years ago put many restrictions on his life, but he never let them prevent him from experiencing what life had to offer.

"Even if there are things you physically cannot do, cherish the things that you can do"

That was what his brother Dayton would tell him, and that is what he reminded himself constantly. Putting on a bright smile, he thanked the cab driver and paid him his fare, before being left to stand at the front of the school. It was a new day, and he was going to cherish all it had to offer him.

"Know the feeling, before my... abilities surfaced I was no stranger to them." She shrugged the backpack more on her shoulder as she lead the way to the room she had been told he'd have.

"I would not mind hearing them if you wish to share." She smiled a little. "I was an only child. But I was raised badly." Well that was easier than saying she was raised a killer right?

"My eldest brother raised me. My parents were touring a whole lot." They were nearly at his new bedroom, now. "He made sure I was clothed, fed, educated, and taken good care of. Mum and da were just busy making people happy with their music. A big responsibility!"

He always found a silver lining. Perhaps a way to comfort himself from the knowledge he had absentee parents, or it was how he was raised by his brother. Perhaps shielded or coddled from the truth?

"Aye, I would love to share with you one of their CD's! They are really good, and I do not just say that because it is my Da's band!"

"My grandfather ra... trained me. I didn't really have a life before leaving Japan," She nodded to the door. "Want to get it for me?"

The way he spoke about his family made her wish she remembered hers. "My father was a doctor, Mum was head of security for the facility he ran. Other than my name... I don't remember them. I was far too young."

Dolemeck closed his eyes and focused on the doorknob. It shook a little bit, then turned slowly. The door pushed open on it's own, and he began to walk in.

"I rarely saw Mum and Da. I do not remember them being about when I was a lad. I just remember my brothers, Dayton and Charles, being the ones to take care of me. Well... more so Dayton than Charles." He shrugged his shoulders. "Last time I saw them was when I woke up from a coma. Never seen them so worried or scared before. They stayed around for a wee bit, before going back on tour."
