[color=f6989d][i]Elizabeth[/i][/color] - [u]A Good Start![/u]

Her spirits were high, her joy at such even greater! For the first time in her life, the Alchemist had made a decent impression with one of the powers that be. Her grip tightened upon her notebook ever slightly as she passed through the mass of other students, simply minding her own as she wished not for the contents of her books to spill everywhere. While the very thought of such happening made her cringe, she was certainly happy that it was not an ordeal that she'd be forced to suffer.

[color=f6989d][i]That would be certainly unpleasant.[/i][/color]

It didn't matter, such things weren't going to happen! She refuted the very thought or concept of it! Having such a catastrophic thing happening to her precious alchemic codex would be heartbreaking! 

Much to her dismay, she would have no such luck.

Seemingly as if from nowhere, another girl collided headlong into Elizabeth's side as the bustling crowds surged about them. Whether it was other students or other faculty that created the masses, it didn't matter. What did matter was that the Alchemist was sent spinning and had to quickly skitter on her hands and knees to grab her pair of books.

[color=f6989d]"You bloody Yankee! Watch where you're going!"[/color] she cried out in dismay with her Yorkshire accent!

Rising quickly to a stand as she Before her then stood the girl who held a terribly frightened look as if she were completely lost and overwhelmed! With her cheeks puffed out annoyingly in indignation, Elizabeth fumed for a moment at the girl before she realized that there was something a little more critical of the matter! Though she appeared to be about the same age as the Alchemist, she certainly didn't recognize her in any way!

[color=f6989d][i]Wait a moment...[b]OH[/b]! A new student! Well done on first impression, you daft fool! She's going to be [i]petrified[/i] of you! [b]COMMENDABLE WORK[/b].[/i][/color]

[color=f6989d]"So sorry, are you new?"[/color] She hesitantly started at first, looking towards the girl. 

Oddly, this one was shorter than she was...such things didn't happen. At least she wasn't one of the shortest people in the school anymore! Wait, that was a generalized term generated towards the lower fifth percentile in terms of height. Her shoulders sank when she realized that she was STILL one of the shortest people in this school, but resigned herself to the fact there was nothing she could do about it.

[color=f6989d]"My name is Elizabeth Hawkins, from London originally I must say. Again truly, my apologies for shouting out like that, I'm rather [i]zealous[/i] in the protection of my grandfather's journal."[/color] The Alchemist added brightly, trying to put on a little charm that her fury had overlapped earlier. Figuring it was easier to win more bees with honey than salt of course.

[color=f6989d]"Though I must say you look a touch lost, is there anything I can do to help?"[/color] A queasy churning within her stomach reminded Elizabeth all too well of her hunger however, and she offered a slightly awkward smile instead. [color=f6989d]"Perhaps after a bite to eat? I'm famished, and I'd rather not wear this fatigue any longer. Do you know where the Dining Hall is? If not, I can show you the way."[/color]
