As soon as the red-headed girl from the bench introduced herself Aaron let out a sigh of relief. 

[i]"Thank God. It's a girl."[/i] Aaron thought to himself. At the very least, there was [i]slightly[/i] more room to move around in...

"Hi," He said, trying to be someone cheerful. She looked around his age anyway. Did she go to high school with him at some point? He racked his mind for memories of her, but drew a blank. He must have never met her before today. He waited until she sat down.

"I'm Aaron," He said politely, holding out his hand. [i]Don't people shake hands when they meet someone?[/i] "It's a tight space, I know, but I think we can make it work. Most of my luggage is down the hall so, it'll just be me and my book bag," He chuckled slightly. First impressions were not necessarily his thing, so he just wanted to get the awkwardness out of the air.

The train attendant walked over and looked into the roomette, assumably here to take her dinner order.
