Rena's comment to him instantly made him laugh. "I might not be, but Douglas is, and he'd kill me if the dorm wasn't spotless," he admitted with embarrassment. There have been more than a few confrontations with his roommate about leaving dishes out and the like, but it's overall helped him keep a relatively tidy dorm.
Jeremy watched in amusement as Rena struggled to secure a glass from the cabinets that were clearly too high for her. She was the type who would get worked up if her height was commented on, so he kept those thoughts to himself, but maybe it'd just be wiser for her to get a tiny stool she could stand on? She wasn't even that short, so it didn't have to be huge like a stepladder or something. "Either is fine, it's just water," he answered, looking forward to a good drink. He didn't even care if she got water from the tap; those stairs made him thirsty.
Rena hurried back with their drinks and sat next to him. Jeremy instantly took his glass and sipped from it. It wasn't the best water in the world, but hey, water was water, and it was from the sink. It wasn't too surprising for him. What did surprise him, though, was the silence that fell between them afterwards. He could hardly believe that Rena of all people was having trouble thinking of what to say.
She asked him a question; a rather simple one compared to how easily they talked before. "It's pretty good, especially since you don't have to room with someone," the youth admitted before taking another swig of ice water. She was acting incredibly strange... maybe it'd be better to just ask her outright what was wrong instead of waiting for something unexpected to happen. He placed his cup onto the coffee table, deciding to ease into it a little first. "Hey, are you okay? You're acting a little... off..." he pointed out, hoping to get a clear answer. This was Rena he was talking about, though, so that probably wasn't going to happen.
