( Feel free to turn this into a lil hotel mingle log, go for it! )



[ Newt wanted somewhere to sleep that was a little less open to those things. The Scorch had been different, there wasn't anywhere to rest that was really all that safe. Here, they could find a building and barricade it up. The blond didn't feel comfortable being too far from the water source, so when they found the Hotel not too far, he was glad for it.

The hunt for whatever it was that guy had been looking for had been a wild goose chase, but Thomas had put the idea of rope in his head, and since then, he's been cutting seat belts out of old decrepit cars and hoarding them. Maybe it looked a little odd, the blond sitting on the ground on the eighth floor in front of a giant hole that goes into a room below him, tying remnants of seat belts together in an odd pattern (if anyone looked closer, they'd see he was making a rope ladder.

Occasionally, he can be heard speaking down to someone in the hole. The door to the eighth floor "room" completely missing. ]

I think we could catch rain water up here, and start a garden.

[ Anyone who happens to come up behind him will be met at spear-point. ]

Hello?

[ Padmé finally feels like she's well enough to move about more than she has until now, still clad in her hospital gown, with her bare feet making little noise against the hotel floor.

She was told about the hotel by Jimmy, as he invited her to come there any time she wished -- and as the only others she'd talked to more than a few times were neither much in the way of conversation, she thought she might as well take him up on it.

Only, she doesn't expect to see a teenager, sitting there on the ground. At least a woman wearing nothing but a hospital gown, her curls wild and unbrushed and her belly still larger than normal after giving birth is not a particularly threatening sight. ]

sorry for taking so long!!! <3

[ She's not a threatening sight, but she's one that makes Newt uneasy, he knows a pregnancy when he sees one, for... some reason. The thought has him visibly scrunching his face in thought as he tries to figure out why he knows that. Teresa was the first girl he'd met and while the boys in the Glade were teenage boys, Newt always kept himself too busy to really think about much girl related stuff after a while.

She's pretty though and nonthreatening, the hospital gown reminding him of something in the back of his mind, a weird itch he couldn't quite chase into a thought. Her bare feet are ultimately what his eyes end up falling to and he can't help but feel pity for her.

Oh, right, he's staring. ]

Hello.

[ Females are still kind of a mystery to him, he'd met Teresa and known her for a couple days, then they'd met Brenda and a smattering of other females, but he didn't know how to interact with them. Something deep in the back of his mind broke way to say with far more respect than what he'd treat a fellow Glader. It's what had caused him to turn Frypan's face when he'd been watching Teresa change clothes without her knowing. ]

IT'S OKAY <3 i'm being super slow forgive me too

[ He takes his time staring at her, and Padmé can't quite decide if it's because of the way she's dressed, or the signs of her pregnancy -- or something else, as the teenager looks at her almost like she's... strange, unfamiliar, in more than simply the fact they haven't met before. ]

I apologize for disturbing you... I was looking for Jimmy. He said I could... visit.

[ She takes a moment to look around, take in the state of the floor, the pile of seatbelts at Newt's feet. ]
