He didn't like the sound of 'hiccups', especially since he knew how college boys could be - he'd been one of them once, after all - but he didn't push the issue. It wouldn't be polite to pry, and it might make her suspicious. "I see. What classes are you planning on taking?" He couldn't quite figure out what she might be interested in just by looking at her, but it was harder with some people than it was with others.
Vlad hesitated for a moment before mirroring her movements and sitting on the floor, since it was getting rather tiring to keep standing like that, and who knew how long he'd be here for? He stretched his legs out instead of folding them, ensuring that he gave her more than enough space. "I travelled quite a bit before moving here," he said after a pause. "But I have never been anywhere quite like this." 'All kinds of circumstances' - what was that supposed to mean? She hadn't lived on the street or anywhere like that, had she?
No, that couldn't be; he gave her enough money to ensure that would never happen. "Did you travel as well?" He didn't want to outright ask what she meant by 'circumstances', but he was too curious to simply leave it be.
