"It is," he confirms, relief spiking to mitigate a little of the alarm when he realizes that Mel is catching on. "Yeah, it is."
He waffles for a moment, coming to a pause as they connect to a main hallway of the dorm, out from one of the cafeteria exits. Ultimately he decides on the stairs and he beckons Mel to follow him down the less populated arm of the residence hall, avoiding entirely the busy front doors. "This way. Um, we're going up to my room here, we should have it to ourselves for a little while yet."
He pushes the heavy stair door open and ushers Mel through, trotting along beside him on the stairs. They're almost always eschewed for the elevators, and he's hoping that luck holds. "It's -- how are you here?" Despite the obvious tension in his voice, the way he looks at Mel is still a pleased sort of shock.
