Nill hadn't known Kate would be back so soon, and she'd been in her room drawing for class at the Institute. But she'd eventually heard Heine and Kate talking, and her eyes had lit up with excitement. She knew that he wasn't comfortable around women, but she at least hoped he could be nice to her (nice in his own way, of course). And she was aware of how Kate felt about strangers, but she had the same hope for her. It wasn't the most likely friendship, but she could at least try for an amiable acquaintanceship. She heard Kate heading her way, and immediately got up to open the door, wings flitting, a smile on her face. She hadn't exactly listened to what they were talking about, just the sound of their voices. She raised a hand in greeting, even if her expression immediately became concerned when she saw the state her roommate was in.
