As Discord stepped past him and into the hall, telling everyone to start looking around, Vlad smiled slightly. His glowing eyes moved to the others, observing them with an interest he usually didn't seem to have. His glowing eyes lingered on Sai, who seemed to be shaking his head more than usual. Was something bothering him? Did it matter?
Vlad glanced briefly to Artemis as she started on about their current century. He listened halfheartedly, his mind focusing on the energies of those around him. It was always nice to be away from solitary confinement - there was a lot to pull from. Like Vex. Or Shadow. Or Hime. As his mind settled on each of them, Vlad took a pull of energy from each. It wasn't much - just a small reminder that he was tasting the air, really. It could have been a cool draft. His thoughts drifted until Artemis stopped talking.
The tall male glanced into the next room, and headed that way. It was in the opposite direction of Artemis and Volkov as they started their own search, and even away from Discord as the boy began to look around. This room was odd. It was a sitting room, of some sort. It was quiet, and when Vlad approached the window, he realized that it reminded him of the screen he often found comfort in while he was with the agency. It was a different scene, but he could still imagine the city street outside.
Blinking, Vlad approached the window and looked out. Let the others search. He wasn't one for obeying orders the moment they were given. He would wait for a while before growing curious enough to search the building.

Sai shook his head again. These questions were so ... inappropriate. There were no responses that he would voice, and he prayed that no one else could hear them. He didn't know how lucky he was - Sai was hearing the ghosts, not his companions or any visitors.
He listened as best he could to Artemis as she laid down a few ground rules, but was again surprised when no one quieted down enough to listen. Wasn't it completely and utterly rude to keep talking?
Moving closer to Hime, he frowned. "How many people are in this room, exactly?" He did find it odd that no one was responding to the questions or voices about them. I mean, if someone started poking you and making fun of you, you'd respond right? Well, for once, Vlad wasn't. Neither was Discord as he walked out of the room. And Hime was doing a fabulous job of ignoring the freakishly creepy voice that was telling her about his long lost family.
"No, I don't. Stop asking me that." Sai spoke as though responding to someone, but of course, there was no one there. No one had asked him anything. His "gaze" shot up to the aura beside Hime, and he scowled. "Just take your comments elsewhere. They aren't welcome."
It was too much. There was far too much noise. Sai cringed as a few of the strangers began to argue - and loudly, at that.
