In his room with his counterpart, Kalib cheers when Grey said he didn't mind his chatter.
"Yay!!! I can talk!!" Kalib takes off his satchel and places it to rest at the foot of the bed as he turns to face Grey. When Grey sits down gracefully, Kalib gets a small moment of jealousy when he wishes he had more grace than he thought he had, which lined up with the grace of an elephant attempting to flop down the stairs.
"Then how are you because why not start with this conversation starter? What did you think of the trip? What do you think the real reason of Bane being bitter is? I don't really see what there is to be envious of our role. I mean, travelling is fun and all, and it's nice to help others, but I was already doing it before. If anything, I miss the life I had before being dragged over here. Not that this is a bad life, mind you. No, no, I didn't mean that at all. Government knows what's best and I need to do what I can to help, always have believed that. Did you see the squirrel earlier in the trees? I wonder if it had a family."
Kalib didn't seem to need a breath, continuing his rambling without a noticeable pause. "Hey, hey, hey, remember when we realized that there had been a path? I feel bad for Aryn but very grateful he had been willing to do that. Oooh, what do you think of the room? Did you wish for bunk beds too? Or would you have rather camped out? I think I still prefer camping and rain - though the two hardly mix well. Did you enjoy the flight here and the jumping into the water when we arrived? If I haven't made myself clear yet, I hate flying and heights. I don't mind climbing trees or climbing anything, really. Which brings me back to the squirrel!"
Kalib takes a deep breath, pausing in his talking for the important thing called air. During the small break, his mind had already moved on, and without him being able to say it while he was thinking of it, whatever he was going to say is now lost to time.
"I... I forgot what I was going to say about the squirrel... But I bet it was awesome and I'm sad I didn't take note of it. Oh well." Kalib laughs and bounces up from his bed, paces forward a few steps and then falls back to his bed again as if wanting to go and do something but unsure what.

Grey is quiet for half a second. Then he does something surprising: he laughs! Not a cold, sarcastic laugh either- this is warmer in tone, maybe even.... joyful? After a little bit, he manages to regain control of himself. His eyes are far away, and he gives Kalib a small smile. "Wow, uh, that was a lot. Where do I even begin....." Grey can feel something between them..... it's faint, but still noticable.....

The start of the laugh scares Kalib and, with a soft yelp of surprise, he stumbles off his bed and falls in a heap in the space between the wall and his bed. It takes a few moments of untangling and making sure not to break anything and annoyed gibbering at himself before he is up on his feet again and grinning at Grey. He felt this is an absolute accomplishment and he felt proud of himself for being able to get Grey, stone faced, heartless, annoyed Grey to laugh.
"Start at the beginning? Wait, no, even I can't remember the beginning of what I said." Kalib stops addressing Grey for a moment to mumble to himself, "Man, I must be really hard to follow. No wonder people find it hard to put up with me."
He returns his focus to Grey. "Eh.... Start with ... Uh, I don't know. What did I say?" Kalib tries to sort through everything that's running through his head with little to no success.

Virgil open his eyes and got up from the bed. He walked to a table in the room and search for paper and pencil. Once he found what he wants he sat in the chair next to the table and starts to sketch. Virgil doesn't really think on what to draw he just does it. After he was done he looks at it and sees that he made a yin yang with the tree of life.

She finds a garbage can and threw away her wrappers and sat on her bed swinging her feet and looking around for something to do since she finished her book

('stone faced, heartless, annoyed Grey' you nailed it on the HEAD XDDDD)
Grey snorts, unable to hide his smile. "I don't even remember...."

(Thank you! XD I try.)
"Then I get to start over! That's great!" Kalib takes a deep breath and doesn't spare a moment to collecting his thoughts before talking.
"What do you think of life as a Harbinger? Pretty normal, bunch of moving around and climbing things, but no songs or stories around a campfire or any of the usual chatter and jesting as we travel. You know, the common 'Mike can't be asked for directions because he's not a compass' and 'Beware Halley's cooking for there's most likely a hidden surprise in one bite or another or perhaps a few' and that sort of thing. Ah, they always teased that I couldn't be trusted with a treasure map and a group of explorers because I'd go off on my own to figure things out and complete it by myself. They were right, of course. I can't keep still when there's something needing to be done." Kalib smiles at his crossbow and sits down on his bed as he thinks back to the time he was with his family, the time his family was whole, complete, one, together. He ached for when things could go back to normal. But this was the new normal, right? He should get used to it sooner, rather than later, when it's too late. Kalib turns to Grey once more and continues.
"Do you like me or anyone else on the team? I'm asking this mostly because I want to double check that I heard you wrong earlier and... Who cares what I was about to say. Next question! How did you end up here? Oh no, that's probably a personal question. Ha, I don't mind answering it. My father sent me off as soon as my mother wasn't in the way any more... I miss her." His eyes flickered back to his crossbow. "I'm trying to find her. I'm going to find her!..." Though he says it full of vigor and vim, he deflates some. For a few seconds, Kalib is silent and it takes him a bit to return his focus back to who he's talking to.
"Eh, yeah, that sounds like a great place to stop so you can collect your answers on that and I'll...! I'll shut up now. Until I receive a reply, that is. Warning: I can't keep quiet for long, though some situations prove that I can, which is strange and, yup! shutting up now..." Kalib has resorted to resting on his stomach with his ankles crossed in the air as he watches Grey eagerly for a response. His fingers tap the bedspread though not nearly in an impatient way as it is tapping out a beat.

"How I got here..." Grey echoes. "I'm the youngest of seven children. All sons. So evidently, my parents never paid much attention to me." He says it lightly, but there is a hint of bitterness in his voice. "When they learned I might have Harbinger tendencies, they did not hesitate to send me away. Ha! Someday I'll see to it that they're the ones cowering at my feet. Conclusion: if my family doesn't need me, I don't need them." Grey folds his arms, looking prideful and just a little pained.

(Edit: I'm sorry for always writing big blocks of text. I'll try to write less, if you prefer.)

"Ah..." Kalib listens to Grey's story and scrambles for something to say, though he's already moving and speaking. He rolls off his bed and lands on his knees in front of his counterpart. Then he jumps to his feet and wraps Grey in a big hug.
"I'm your family, counterpart, whether you like it or not. I... was probably about to say something smart, but now I don't know what I just said let alone what I was thinking of saying. Oh, and, in case anyone hasn't told you, you're awesome and I look up to you, haha, no pressure." He chirps and playfully punches Grey's arm. Then he skips back before things could become awkward or Grey could box his ears for touching him.
"Can I teach you a dance I learned when with my family and friends and all? Yes, yes I can! Of course I can. If someone can take the time to teach me, I can take the time to educate someone else." Kalib clears the room a bit so he had more space to dance. Then he motions for Grey to join him. "Come, come, come! Dancing alone is a miserable thing."

(nah, you're fine!!!! I tend to write shorter responses but lowkey kind of admire people who can write a lot! XD)
Grey is taken by surprise. "Oof!" He smiles slightly, evidently breaking through his shell a little. "....I like that." He protests a little as Kalib drags him out into the center of the room. "Um.... I don't really dance.... are you sure this is a good idea?!" He yelps, turning red with embarrassment, but secretly he wants Kalib to continue. He's never really felt this.... cared for.....
