Moores had been halfway to their rooms when guards caught them, rounding the two like they were cattle straying away from herd. They exchanged glances, but followed back to dining hall. They didn't stand with the rest of group, Caleb opting to lean against wall in nonchalant manner, arms crossed, - guards had no reason to push them together before the tour moved on and they let him stay there. Corynn, of course, remained by his side.

When they were led out of dining hall, they were in middle of group now, Caleb standing out like a sore thumb due to his height. He towered over both men and women present here, except for another male that was his height, while his expression was dark and nearly threatening. Siblings took in sights around them as well as the other experiments and Caleb could swear he knew that green haired one from movies or something... Despite how grand the mansion was, nothing really excited them, although young woman fell instantly in love with library and had to be rounded up once more. Meanwhile, he showed appreciation for gym equipment immediately, too, inspecting it with knowledgeable eye, until Corynn tugged on his shirt to get him back in the group.

Under different circumstances, they both would have loved all of it. This was a lavish place with all the luxuries they had always dreamed to have, but the price for it all was their freedom. And maybe life as well. Event with Nixie was still fresh in their minds. In truth, she was having hard time thinking... There were so many thoughts around her, in her mind, and they seemed to multiply tenfold as they came to the tour's end that girl grew pale and Caleb placed hand on her back, afraid she might faint. She gave him meek, reassuring smile. She couldn't talk to him about what she had heard quite yet, not so that the doctors wouldn't turn their unwanted attention onto her.

Questions that green one stated all seemed sensible, but, honestly, how could he care about these things right now? Didn't he know about the crap that was going on. Caleb pushed through group on front lines (with Corynn following closely, although she still looked pale), staring down at the tour givers with dark glare. "Didn't hear you talking about our 'doctor appointments.'" There was bitter sarcasm of sorts in his voice at end. "You took one of us already tonight, will she return or are you going to 'doctor' her to death or insanity?" he drawled.




It didn't seem that anyone noticed that figure joining them in library. She simply slipped in the group, no one really paying attention to her, as if she had been part of the herd all this time. She didn't say anything, didn't wander away from group again... She just was there, so easy to miss like a ghost, although her green-gray eyes didn't slip over a single important detail without taking note of it.

Beside all those possible burn scars on her exposed arms, there was really nothing noticeable about her and most likely, all of them would see her at some point, but forget moments later, as there were so many more unique looking individuals around, not even talking about new environment. Only Corynn... Well, she looked twice at the girl, but then seemed to stop paying attention to her as well.

This girl didn't ask anything now, she remained silent, expression a little thoughtful, but whatever was going on in that head of hers remained a mystery.
