[He jumps at the sudden thought in his mind, but then, he's rather jumpy - without his lighter and ensconced in this perfect silence, he feels like his nerves have just been waiting for something to set them off.
When he realizes that it was Ryan, sees that little smile, he almost feels guilty; instead, what he feels is amazingly uncomfortable. The reality of Petre sharing a room with John meant that they had to shuffle Ryan out of there quite fast after they messed around, and it means that nothing's been settles. He knows where he wants it to stand - a friend he can fool around with, the outlet he's needed for awhile - but part of him knows better. Some of Ryan's thoughts were so earnest, almost bordering on possessive (where does he find these guys?), that he suspects he's just taken a very small crush and caused it to blow out of all proportion.
But, well. He has to find out sometime, right?]
Ask me when I'm out of here. This place is driving me nuts. [He flexes his fingers, gives his neck a little roll, then manages a slightly edgy smile in return.] They're not as stupid as the roommate stunt made them look.
[Pyrokinetic in the library, probably looks pretty stupid, but then he turns out his pockets as he did for Otoha. No lighter, and no outer layer that could be holding it either.]
