[Two years ago, when he was new to this world, he might have been more sour about the sudden invasion of his private space and the loud exuberance of his new roommate. But by now he's gotten used to having someone around. What he hasn't gotten used to is how suddenly someone can disappear. A month after Kell never came back to the room, it still feels too quiet in here.
Wilhelm tugs his jacket off, draping it over the wooden trunk at the foot of his bed. He flicks a sheepish look at the mess around his bed, ducks to scoop up a few items and shove them into the trunk, then decides the rest can wait while he gets to know his new roommate. Crossing over to the sitting area, he peers at the bird perched among his collection of trinkets.]
You made this?
[He sounds equal parts surprised and impressed. The guy hasn't even been here a full day, and he's already finding things to do. Wilhelm had spent most of his first day here as a lump in bed, waiting for this weird dream to end.]
It's cool. [From the other end of the mantle, he plucks a carved wooden frog and moves it next to the other little creatures. He grins at Iris over his shoulder.] So he doesn't feel left out.
