Eddie himself didn't seem perturbed in the slightest at Noah's silence, instead opting to even join Mason and him on the floor, although he did question why they were down there even further.
Noah wanted to shrink in on himself, but it was bolstering when Mason responded casually to Eddie (even if Mason did call Noah out for being overwhelmed, not that he could blame his roommate).
Then there was a niggling in Noah's mind as he caught most of Mason's question, and then Mason asked aloud if his question got through. Noah gave him a small nod, saying, "Most of it. Got the gist of it." He paused, looking to Eddie, before adding, "I'll... I'll show him."
He broke the contact he had with Mason, finding the feeling as oddly empty to not have someone else as an anchor. Still, Noah gingerly moved forward, being careful not to bump into or jostle either of the others as he reached out to Eddie. Eddie proved that he was friendly enough that Noah was sure he wouldn't refuse a handshake from the new kid.
Once they made contact, Noah said, "Hi. This is what I do. Telepathy... but I have to be touching the other..."

you get all the reactions You're the main attraction main attraction -- jeremy renner words: 232 notes: nada Mason reiterated why the pair were on the floor, and Eddie's easy-going smile faded just a touch as Mason mentioned that Noah appeared to be overwhelmed. Eddie nodded, understanding that, and then was promptly confused when Mason asked Noah aloud if he had gotten something.
Eddie's brows furrowed at not being part of the conversation, more puzzled than offended, but his expression smoothed out into a smile again as Noah made up his mind about something and was beginning to maneuver around Mason to evidently reach Eddie. The pair reached out to each other for a handshake, and Eddie was absolutely not prepared to hear a stranger's voice in his head.
He blinked. Then blinked again, his gaze darting to Mason before focusing on Noah as he comprehended what just happened.
Slowly, though, he smiled to Noah and said, "That's actually pretty cool. Have you ever been really sneaky about it? Pretending to be someone's conscious or something?"
A bit more seriously, Eddie also asked, "I'm sorry if this sounds blunt, but do you not talk aloud?"
Considering their hands were still clasped, Eddie actually gave Noah a handshake and said, "It is really nice to meet you officially, Noah. You got the boring roommate, since I'm afraid I already got one, but Mason isn't too bad. Despite me being a little loud, if you need help with anything, let me know."

Hey, he spoke telepathically! That was kind of neat.
Mason grinned when Noah confirmed that he had gotten most of Mason's mental message, and Mason figured that it was only because Noah himself had their link open that he had been able to do it. Mason was sure that if he had initiated contact and tried to speak first, it probably wouldn't work. The resident telepath would be doing the heavy lifting, so to speak, when it came to communication like that.
Mason moved slowly back when Noah said that he would show Eddie what he can do. It was progress, considering that Noah had spent who knows how long scrunched up on the floor in the corner of their room, and Mason was thankful for Eddie being the catalyst. Eddie was probably one of the most extroverted individuals in the manor, but his presence helped to coax the shy new kid and Mason was pretty damn proud of both Noah and Eddie for their actions.
Noah taking the plunge in introducing himself in his own way, and Eddie completely taking it in stride.
Mason did snort when Eddie immediately asked if Noah had ever been sneaky with his telepathy before he gave Eddie's shoulder a light punch for his comment about Mason being the supposed boring roommate. "Man, I'd switch with you if you wanted, since I'm sure Roy would love having a break from you, but I wouldn't want to subject Noah to your antics."

Words: 165 Tags: Foxtrot Incognito Notes: Think I'm going to end this thread here. Thanks guys!Eddie seemed troubled by hearing Noah's telepathy, almost enough to make Noah break the contact. Maybe he'd just spend most of his days hiding in his dorm room. Mason didn't seem too bad, he could come and go until even he got sick of seeing if Noah was alive or not, but Noah may find it easiest to deal with his new surroundings by just saying in bed--
Eddie's smile broke through Noah's rambling thoughts, and Noah was surprised at yet another thinking that his telepathy was cool. Noah's head tilted when Eddie asked if Noah ever pretended to be someone's conscious, and Noah shook his head as an answer.
To Eddie's more serious question, Noah gave him a small shrug. "Not really, no... The telepathy is easier."
Then Eddie joked about Noah having the boring roommate and Mason shot back something about not wanting to subject Noah to Eddie's antics, and Noah couldn't help but chuckle a little.
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
