Pearl opened the door to her room, letting Jack go, motioning for him to go inside. She'd made it very homey with a few chairs to make a sitting area. She left the door cracked just in case Dream decided to join them. "So it's a little quieter, more relaxed here. Feel any better?"

He nodded. At least it was quiet here. He looked around. Her room was cozier than his. His would never feel like home. The closest thing to home he knew was, of course, where he came from - The highway in the snow.

Dream hesitated, staying just outside Pearl's room. She was very shy...to be honest, she wasn't used to being around other people.

Jack saw the other girl through the crack in the door. She seemed hesitant. He wondered if she'd come in.

All that could be seen of Dream was her eyes poking around the door. She wasn't sure how to relate to these people. Did this boy even know who she was?

Pearl saw her eyes peeking around the corner. "Oh Dream, come on in!" she motioned at the door. "There's a seat right here between me and Jack." She beamed at them both. "Would either of you like something to drink perhaps? I'm sure there's a coke or water or something in the fridge..." she stood, in her normal hostess attitude.

Dream glided in like a gentle breeze and sat down.

OOC: Be careful about the one-liners.
Jack remained standing, unsure if he was even willing to stay. He watched the other girl enter, and shook his head at Pearl's offer. "No thank you." He muttered, eyes immediately turning to the floor. He started looking for patterns in the carpet, but was too distracted by the presense of the other two, making him feel like he was being watched constantly.

Dream stared at Jack. He seemed so sad. She wished she could do something to help.

"So..." she suddenly felt awkward between such antisocial people. "Dream have you and Jack met? He's new here. And he's a little shy, too. You two have that in common." she flashed her eyes sweetly. "I think the two of you could be good for one another...help you out of your shells a little..." Pearl's intentions were good. Her heart was in the right place, even if her plan was a little lax.

Dream smiled a bit. "Thank you Pearl" she said. "I'm Dream" she said to Jack.

"J-Jack." He replied, keeping his eyes on the floor. How long could this last? He couldn't stay like this forever, but he didn't want to change, either.

Dream looked into Jacks eyes. Suddenly bold. "What do you wish? Right now?" she asked.

Jack, bewildered, shook his head and took a step backward. "N-nothing." He swallowed hard, wondering if now was a good time to leave.

"Tell me" she said, with a slight smile. "Not a big thing, not your deepest wish. Just something small."
