But Ray was staring at her like he'd jsut seen someone being shot; "You know what Topside is?" he asked quietly, pointing at her. No one else knew about that word, no one save for the Morlocks. Could X23 have been with them? Ray would have known if she had.
"Well, do you?" he asked, rising.

"Yes did you forget the part about me learing every thing about mutant life not to minchion i used to have a mager crush on one of them," she said blushin slightly. "So wanna blow somthing up or somthing?" she asked again hoping his protective instinks wouldn't kick in and he wouldn't ask who.

"No, how could you know?" Ray asked; "Who did you talk to?" He wondered if she was just trying to seem cool, trying to seem smart. The Morlocks had a strict code. This was not everyday "mutant life".
Xavier didn't even really know about them, for crying out loud.

"Um." Paige raised her hand timidly and looked around like a kid on their first day of school. "Scuze me, I don't." She muttered, but decided the discussion was none of her business and suddenly hopped from where she was to the bed. Comfy, plushy bed. This she could get used to. The room was three times the size of her old one, and she only had to share it with one other person. Why on earth Sam had any right to complain about being a mutant was beyond her.
Then she registed what Ray had said before. Rioters, and some guy who went to jail. Oh, well there was a valid reason. Rioters? Student rioters. She began to wonder if her nightmares of being stuck in the private boarding school for the rest of her life would have been safer than attending public highschool.

Ray looked at her; "It's just a term," he said, looking back at X23; "Used by a certain few..." he paused; "X, seriously, be careful when you repeat things, okay? You might not know what you're saying." He sat back down, and sighed. He looked at Paige then with a small grin; "You're probably freaked out right now," he said, looking away.

"Oh shut up ray your the one who said it and yes i know about 'them' and again i ask do you wanna blow somthing up or do i have to do it myself cause i'm guessin Paige lkike me is board out of her skull," she said then got up and walked over to ray. "Oh and by the way I talked to Sam the other day," she said then looked around her room board. "Paige do you like blowing or setting thjings on fire?" she asked then turned to ray. "Look sorry i said anything i didn't the last five times you slipped but this time i couldn't help it so we cool?" she asked he was her best friend and she didn't want him mad at her.

Ray stared at her, hard; "How do you know?" he asked again, "About... about them."
This was seriously interesting, but also disturbing. Though he had let it slip here and there, That was the first time Ray had openly indirectly mentioned the Morlocks. There was a strict set of codes, one being silence. He'd broken another, when the mansion had been blown up, and he had taken the mutants of the institute down into the sewers. But he swore never again.
So how did she know???

Ray frowned; "Okay," he said, knowing that this discussion was far from finished.
And Caliban wouldn't have thrown a fit. Callisto would have. And Spyke, now that Ray thought about it.... But it didn't matter, the conversation was finished.
"So Paige...wanna see the basement?" Ray asked hopefully, getting up and rubbing hsi hands together.
It was the best part of the mansoin, after all.

Paige just shrugged at the being freaked out. Hell she was freaked out, but she didn't want to seem it. She gave him a quirky smile. "I don't see what's so interesting about a basement, but I guess a huge empty basement under a place this big... kinda cool." She was thinking more along the lines of creepy, but if he thought it was cool and he was going than maybe it would be.

"Last time we nerly kil," but ray sent her a look that said shut up. "Fine to the X basment," she said in a fake anonosers voice which she then fell into fits of laughter.

"Hey, actually I'm kinda tired and I've still gotta unpack everything. How 'bout we hit the basement tomorrow?" Paige suggested with another glance around the room.. How on earth this glassy form was going to affect her, she did not know, but she didn't want to be exploring a huge mansion when she found out one of the little quirks that usually came with the new skin.
"'Kay?" She asked in a hopeful tone. She was also not really up to the idea of being introduced to a bunch of new kids while her skin was flying off in every direction.

Ray studied her body language, noting how her skin was flaking. He somewhat pitied her, but knew that if it was managable, then there was no room for pity, only support and encouragement.
That's how he had raised himself, anyway. Sad thing was, he didn't pity many people.
"Yeah, sounds good," Ray said. "If you need anything, just holler, K? X an' me wil lbe glad to help, Sam too."

"Thanks, but I think I'll just run into Sam tomorrow..." She smiled and walked over to her bag to look for a good book to read. "So if I need anything hollar for you, if a strange boy with blondish hair comes in hollar for X, and if someone busts through the giant fence outside... don't worry because they're pathetic?" She questioned with an amused look and eyebrows raised.

"Well, technically they'd be desperate, and stupid," Ray clarified with a smirk; "That fence is fierce, like what it keeps behind it," he paused, heading for the door; "Nice to meet ya, Paige," he said, then he nodded to X23 as he left the room.
