He saw Noelle, whom he met earlier, walk past them. From the looks of she didn't look to happy or in the mood for chit chat. He wouldn't know what to say, so he decided to see if Steffy was going to go and see what was wrong.

Steffy took out her phone and started to IM Noelle. When she pressed send, she looked back at Darin,
"Minor crisis, you're gonna have to get used to that around here. So what do you like to do? "she asked giving him a smile.

"It's ok, I understand." He smiled at her. "I'm a martial artist. It gives me a peaceful state of mind. There is a lot more to it than fighting. There's the meditation part of it. It's a very peaceful thing, and then there are competitions. I do it for the fun, and I don't even care to win. It's not about that." He just smiled more. It really peaceful to him. He was taught by his sensei that martial arts was about respect. And from day one he has stuck to that and believed it every time.

" That's really cool, most people learn it just to cause trouble. " she said rolling her eyes at the mention of stereotypical egoistic rich jerks.

He sighed. "I know. I have met so many in Nationals who are wealthy like me who have payed a fortune for the best sensei with the only ambition of winning Nationals. I actually purposely payed for cheaper classes to get a sensei who was not rich, but one who was honest, and respected the way of the arts as I hoped to. Needless to say I took first at Nationals." He smiled and laughed. "And even when you try to be friendly about it, most just get angry at you."

" I know they are so paranoid, they are so insecure " she said grinning, glad someone sees the same thing.
"Wow first huh guess you showed them " she said bumping him gently in the shoulders.
Her cell vibrated, she opened the IM. She raised an eyebrow, Carter is attempting suicide again?

He smiled softly, "I suppose I did. So what do you like to do?" Again he was more interested in hearing about her than talking about himself. He would happily answer her questions, but he'd be happier letting her talk and him listen. That's what he found he was best at. Listening.

He smiled at her again. "True, it is very healthy. You're really nice Steffy. It's not very often I feel comfortable enough to actually talk to someone." He was very happy with how this went so far. Not only was he actually having a conversation with someone, but that someone was a girl, which had always been harder for him to do.

Steffy smiled kindly, " The people here are usually nice, if you get past that psychotic front, just kidding. You seem pretty nice too, we really have alot in common" she said laughing.

He couldn't stop smiling. She really was as nice as he thought she was. He couldn't have been luckier to have her show up. "Thanks. I think we do too." He felt she may actually be somebody he could actually talk to. Like, someone he may even be able to approach.

He gave a bit of a confused look. "I... don't know. I've never done it before." He wasn't sure why she asked him, but he figured he might find out soon enough.

Steffy read Bradley's message and smiled. " Nothing, for now at least. " she gave him a smile before continuing,
"So what house are you in?"

He smiled, not sure what her question's purpose was. "I'm in Windsor. I'm actually roomed with Sebastien, but you might already know that." He smiled and quietly laughed again.
