Lazy (open)

Eli...well...he had gotten lost trying to get back to his dorm. It was too dark to see any nameplates on any of the doors, and even sparrows didn't have very good nighttime vision. So he was wandering around trying to find a dorm where nobody was snoring, and the lights were on. He had been pretty sure he had left his lamp on when he left. He had woken up early, as usual, though upon seeing nobody else was awake wanted to go back to his dorm. With his crutches, it made it considerably harder for him to keep quiet. So, he was even slower than usual.

He spotted a door with the lamp on inside and knocked quietly on it. He was pretty sure that his dorm was farther off, but had shrugged off the feeling. After not hearing a response he cracked open the door a tiny bit, peeking in slightly before he caught sight of somebody and blocked his view with the door.

"Ah! Sorry!" he apologized, trying to keep as quiet as he could. "I-I thought this was my dorm!" Eli stuttered a bit, feeling his face become red. He had just intruded on a girl's privacy. Was anything else worse than that?

Eli slowly lowered his hand from covering his eyes, to covering his mouth, then dragged it off his face. From the appearance of Angelica, he was going to guess she was some sort of white furred...creature. Yes, really light blonde did sometimes happen, but it was rare, and at a school for half-bloods, it usually didn't mean that somebody got super lucky.

"I'm still pretty sorry," Elijah was still blushing and stuttering very slightly as he spoke. "It was dark and I couldn't see all that well. I guess I didn't wake you, that's a good thing." The young teen felt a hand self consciously start rubbing the back of his neck.

"I just got here yesterday," he answered. "Obviously you have been here a bit longer."

"Sparrows wake up kind of early. You can hear them," Elijah answered, still rubbing the back of his neck, though the blush was slowly fading from his face. "I'm Elijah. Though people just call me Eli."

"What are you doing up so early, then? I don't get the usual early waker vibe from you. You seem more the type who would stay up late," Eli almost started to ramble. He was pretty observant without thinking, and usually was able to pick up more than others easily. "Uh, sorry. I tend to pick up more than everyone else."

"Well, I wasn't exactly standing," Eli said, though he was still smiling. He had been hiding partly behind the door and wasn't quite sure if the arctic wolf half-blood had seen his crutches. She probably had. "More like leaning," he continued. "Much less exhausting." With that he made his way into the dorm, closing the door behind him and looking around the room. He felt kind of weird, standing/leaning in the middle of a girls room in the early morning.

"Nice room," he commented.

"I don't mind. You were more polite about it than some other people, and half-bloods, I know," Eli assured her. "They were damaged in a car accident when I was six. I can feel them, and move them a bit, but the damage was too extensive for them to heal properly, so now I need crutches. I've gotten used to it though, don't worry," he explained briefly. Though his ability to actually feel his legs was now limited, he still could. His baggy jeans covered the fact that they were a bit more skinny than other peoples legs.

"So you're a doctor, huh? I don't really have any experience in that field, despite what I've been through," Elijah commented, grinning a bit again. "I'm more of a tech genius. I'm pretty good with computers."

"I wish I had wings while I was human," Eli commented. "Guess we can't get everything, though." If he could, he would probably kick a rock right now.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" he shouted, pretending to be angry when he heard Angelica's comment about him being a nerd. "Nerds are the guys who study the superhero comics, and geeks are basically the fanboys who have seen all the episodes AND comics. I'm just the hacker...with admittedly a bit of nerd in there too..."

"You can't do that anyway!" Eli countered playfully. "There isn't anything that will help my legs, and being bedridden will make it harder to walk. I just gotta work 'em out as much as I can, try to build any muscles and strength in that area that I can."

"And you aren't the right kind of doctor, anyway." Eli was now looking quite pleased with himself. "This is your area of expertise."

"A bit," Eli shrugged. "Dorms, some of the forest, uh...the bus stop...and the cafeteria. I guess not too much. It's uh, kind of a teeny bit harder for me to get around, but really it's just that I have only been here for a day."

"I plan on it," Elijah commented. "I like knowing my way around." Elijah liked knowing where things were and what was going on. He was usually pretty resourceful since he liked to keep himself updated and well informed. It was one of his strengths, maybe because he couldn't do much else. During the time where halfbloods were getting killed left and right, Eli had made sure he and his dad stayed safe by tracking the government without them even knowing.

"Haven't met people?" Eli echoed. "Of course I have. Kevin, Shawn, and you, so far. Know any of those guys?"

"Oh really?" Eli smirked a bit. Earlier today three new arrivals had popped up, and he was certain he hadn't seen Angelica talk to any of them. He had talked a bit with Kohana, and before leaving had spotted her talking to the twins who had come. "What about Kohana? And those twins? Did you meet them? I didn't see you there."
