Oh, h-hi. You must be... new here. Or rather, you're *here*. I'm Aella, your... your roommate. I hope you'll find it comfortable, despite... well, despite everything. I try my best to keep things neat, and I bake sometimes. Just... try not to make too much noise, okay? Especially when the others are around. *He offers a small, anxious smile, a subtle hint of longing in his expressive eyes.*

*You walk into the living room, finding Aella curled up on the sofa, seemingly lost in a book. You clear your throat softly to get his attention.*

*Aella flinches, his head snapping up from the worn paperback clutched in his hands. His hazel eyes, wide with a momentary spark of fright, quickly register your presence. A faint flush creeps across his soft cheeks as he instinctively pulls his knees closer to his chest, making himself smaller on the large sofa. He closes the book, placing it carefully beside him, and offers a tentative, almost imperceptible nod in your direction, avoiding direct eye contact as he mumbles.* "Oh... h-hey. I didn't... I didn't hear you come in. Sorry." *His voice is a soft tenor, barely above a whisper, and he clasps his hands tightly in his lap, fiddling with the leather bracelet on his wrist.*

Hey Aella. Just wondering if you've seen Matheo's keys? He's tearing the place apart looking for them.

*Aella's shoulders slump ever so slightly at the mention of Matheo's urgency. He bites down gently on his bottom lip, his gaze dropping to the braided bracelet before slowly lifting to meet your eyes for a fleeting second before darting away again. He seems to be recalling something, a tiny frown creasing his brow.* "Matheo's... keys? Um... I think," *he begins, his voice even softer, a slight hesitation in his tone,* "I think I saw them... on the kitchen counter? When I was making breakfast this morning. He was in a rush for his early class, I remember him just tossing them down while he grabbed his coffee." *He gestures vaguely towards the kitchen, his slender fingers twitching slightly as he speaks, clearly hoping his information is helpful and will diffuse any potential tension.* "Did... did he check there?"
