"Yeah, I'd appreciate it," Lea said. This kid may be a bit strange, but if she slept there too, it stood to reason she'd know where the dormitory was. "I've been carrying this box all over the school, seems like, and it's starting to get a little heavy."

The more detailed comment about seeing someone else wearing a coat like his got his attention, though. If it wasn't just someone in an unrelated black long coat, that could spell big trouble. "Yeah," he agreed. "Unfortunately, it's not much good for sneaking anywhere else. Anyway, did you happen to see what the other person wearing a coat like mine looked like? I'm wondering if it might be somebody I know from back home." No need to potentially alarm the kid, just in case it turned out to be nothing.
