[color=8493ca]The blonde girl seemed rather on-edge. First Kotori, and now this girl, Aria. Was there something about him inherently linked to females of the meeker variety or was it just his appearance? He'd always been a taller sort, but wasn't as if he suffered from true gigantism, after all. He'd probably just go and ask someone sometime; environmental awareness was fine, but it didn't do much to help with understanding other people. Not that he'd much ever made an effort to do so before recently. Sasaki closed his eyes and nodded in understanding. "It's fine," the Korean assured, "I don't mind waiting." [i]'Not to mention if I wanted to I could easily move you aside,'[/i] he added in as a mental afterthought. He placed Kotori's blue Grimm Fairytales book into his bag, hidden away from the sight of any prying - or desperately searching, to be more accurate to the situation - eyes. "I'm Kirima Sasaki," he said.[/color]

[color=0072bc]"I-i-its a pleasure to meet you" Aria stuttered out despite the pleasurable words that has passed between the two she was still afraid of his height.  This was kind of intimidating he could probably pick up her and her below average height and throw her like a rag doll or so it seemed.  She grabbed her violin case and placed it in her lap and started to hug it tightly it got awkward she was naturally a quiet person and as such wasn't much of a talker. She also had no idea what else to say to him.  She let the silence stand for a bit longer before deciding to speak once more "Ah I saw earlier you were reading a book any good?" she decided to ask trying to start a conversation.  [/color]

[color=8493ca]Sasaki was not a charismatic or highly social individual by any means. Unsurprisingly, this meant that the tension between the short girl and the tall boy had undoubtedly not resolved itself in that short exchange of words. Thus the pair sat and stood, respectively, in an awkward silence filled by the hustle and bustle of other students. Eventually the blonde violinist pierced the silence by asking Sasaki a question that was rather... uncomfortable? Yes, uncomfortable but not unexpected. Even so, the normal student had not planned for this particular course of action. "I..." Sasaki began hesitantly, formulating strategems, excuses, and other sort of machinations to determine the course of this conversation that didn't end in him spilling the beans on what was presumably Kotori's secret and his own less scrupulous interests. "It's... It's a....good book. But I....don't think you'd be much interested in it though," he answered inelegantly.

Another awkward silence began to set in before the young man nipped it in the bud. "Your name sounds foreign," Sasaki commented, a quick attempt at changing an uncomfortable topic of discussion, "Do you come from here?"[/color]

[color=0072bc]"I was born and raised in Academy city though my mother was French I mainly take my looks after her." Aria said after settling into a comfortable spot.  "Though I personally wouldn't know much don't have much memories of her" she continued with a somber mood settling in.  Thinking back she really did not have much memories now that she thought about but the few ones she had was of nostalgic music and a easy smile.  "How about you are you native here?" She asked deciding to change the subject from her rather depressing on though she knew that there was always other stories that would be worse than hers.

[color=8493ca]"How sad," Sasaki remarked, sounding almost downright unempathetic to the girl's plight. On the contrary though, he could very much sympathize with the lack of parentage that the girl faced, he himself being a Child Error with nobody of familial relation other than his estranged sister. Still, it didn't make him sound any less cold, not even taking account his usual expression of neutrality adding to the effect. No offense was intended, of course, but thoughts didn't do a very effective job of conveying intent to the physical realm. "Yup," he said simply in response to Aria's second question, "Basically the only place I've ever known. Not much else to it."

The crowd departing the audience began to die down as more and more people completed their exit. More and more it became evident that the well-built fellow adjacent to the pair was there not to leave the auditorium with his row. Sasaki evaluated that fact and thought it of no concern for the moment. It's not like there was too much personal information being shared.

"Why don't you tell me about your music," Sasaki inquired. He figured that such a statement would sound odd, and explained further, "You have a violin case - if my guess was correct - that you seem to be very attached to."[/color]

[color=0072bc]Hearing the question Aria eye's seemed to gain a sparkle to them a life that wasn't previously there.  "I am very attached to it is my personal instrument one I made myself though while it isn't as good as the one the city made for me." She said as she opened her case after laying it on her lap to revel the polished oak wood of the violin.  Showing her instrument it reflected the lights from the auditorium as it sparkled brightly.  "It's made of different woods from normal the main body is sakura wood giving it a etheral look to it for the body than for the neck its yew adding on to the mystique of the violin." She continued saying still talking with pride and care about the instrument she made.  "currently the treatment it has been through makes it heavier yes but also provides a more haunting melody.  Though later once I complete the varnish I plan on having it prepared and treated to make it harder to break and immune to most other elements like fire and ice and water that would normally damage it." She said as she closed the violin case.  "Also to wrap it up I prefer more calming music though in the end my music always takes on a haunting tone." Looking around and noticing most people left she stood up and clenched her violin case. "It seems most have left better get going so I am not late to class. It was a pleasure meeting you Sasaki perhaps next time you could meet up with me again and listen to me play later so ja na." Aria called as she walked towards her class leaving the odd giant of a person behind.  [/color]

[color=8493ca]Sasaki nodded along. He didn't know much about what went on with the construction of instruments, but talking about it all seemed to make Aria really happy, so why not just go along with it? It was the least he could do. He put on his best really, really forced and unsettling smile as the girl went on and on about varnishes and various varieties of wood and such. Sasaki was more a weapons guy moreso than a music guy, but Aria's upgrade plan for this thing sounded impressive from a durability standpoint, especially given its composition of wood. Once it became readily apparent that the auditorium was now sparsely populated, the French-Japanese girl decided to say her goodbyes and make her departure. "Ara... that [i]would[/i] be a good course of action," Sasaki agreed, "See you around, Fabre-chan. I'll hold you to that offer, next time." 

Sasaki watched his new friend(?) leave the area. "So, now that she's gone..." Sasaki murmured under his breath, standing up himself.

"Did you need anything?" Sasaki asked the student standing awkwardly behind him, using a finger to push his glasses up in a manner that could only be described as stereotypical.[/color]
