Yeah look who's calling who foreign, England. Johnny'd only even been out of the states during his Army tours -- beyond that he'd rarely gotten beyond South Carolina's borders. At any rate, it was sad indeed that Eudora felt that way. No wonder so many people at Xavier's irked her, it seemed at times like the majority of the school wasn't from the state that it was located in, oftentimes not even the country. Johnny was willing to give them all a chance though. He'd rather get to know a person and find a reason to really hate them than only go with more surface level things.

Honestly, if she hadn't come on with quite the show that she had, he would've apologized for any noise that was being made. It was pretty unavoidable, given the number of trucks, trailers, people, and horses that were moving around the back of Xavier's during the unloading, but still. Didn't mean to disturb anyone's quiet time, especially if they were working on their powers during it. Then again, he also didn't think of it as a particularly obtrusive thing to be dong. It was daytime, there were horses coming in, it was just how it was. He didn't even notice the noise level, it just sounded like a fairly busy day to him. He didn't exactly come from a background that predisposed him to thinking that people might be enjoying some solitary alone time to...do whatever, in the middle of the day. Daylight's wastin', people, get up and get busy. Also a heads up from Xavier would've been nice, if this was something he was supposed to really be careful of. Point was though, despite all of that, if he'd known he was annoying someone he'd have tried not to, or at least let them know it wasn't intentional. Being informed of it in such a bizarre way, though, didn't exactly put him in that mind.

The sudden voice in his mind made his head whip around quickly, trying to spot the person speaking. But he was alone, and it sounded like it was inside his head, anyway. His next thought was that he might be picking up some strange transmission on accident, something slipping through again, but it didn't usually happen quite like that. This was far too direct, aimed at him, and there wasn't the normal background chatter that he picked up when he ended up pulling on frequencies on accident. He was so distracted by figuring the weird voice in his head out that he only actually caught about half the words that she was saying. A telepath, it had to be. He'd known two in his life -- the girl who'd helped him with his own powers when they'd come out, and Xavier. For a brief moment, he wondered if it was Xavier himself inside his head, and was fairly confused as to why the older man would have a British girl's mental voice.

But then Eudora began to appear. Hokay, not Xavier then. Some floating apparition of a skinny girl. He had pulled Chopper to a stop when the voice had started, and the animal now didn't seem to notice anything strange going on. Huh. He tilted his head a bit, frowning slightly as he puzzled it through. And then slowly a grin broke out across his face as it relaxed. He leaned forward some, forearms resting loosely across the horse's neck, and the toothpick he'd been chewing on got shifted to the other side of his mouth as he let out a long, slow whistle in amazement. That wasn't something you see every day, Jesus. "Well hot damn." His Southern drawl was heavy, pulling at his words and making them sound almost lazy. "Ain't that somethin'. You a ghost?" A haunted mutant school, how crazy. Made sense though, he'd heard of the deaths that had happened here. He didn't seem at all concerned with what she'd been asking.
