[Center]Orion Armstrong[/Center] --- The conversation took it's strangest turn yet when Reya began her laughing fit. Orion wasn't sure if he should be insulted by the display, but the human girl seemed to be doing her level best to assure him that she was not trying to offend him. Admittedly, the fact that the woman was laughing so heavily did scratch a smidgen of the Faunus' pride, both as a person and as a man. He had never considered himself a casa-nova, to be sure; but he had liked to imagine himself as a few notches above 'laughable'. "I'll keep that in mind." His words were measured, he didn't want to let the hurt pride shine through: mostly because it was a damn foolish pride at that.He contemplated leaving the buffet hall to bury his head in the dirt or in a sketch pad, but that would give hints towards his emotional dissonance. He eventually followed behind Reya, although his focus was less on her and more on walking by the stranger, Jack. She had already gotten an introduction from Orion, and neglected to say a word to follow. --- [Center] Isaac Markeel[/Center] --- Isaac watched with a certain revulsion as the confidence of the creature before him became ever clearer. She…he…it clearly spoke about its title, and managed to make an innuendo about that, only then to follow up by playing with Isaac’s damn food. It took a great deal of self-control to avoid cutting the finger off; but Isaac managed to maintain a sense of decorum…just. BB asked Isaac to choose a drink for it, and Isaac would have responded by giving the blunt and boring answer of ‘water’, yet an odd sense of emotion was welling up in his chest: An excitement that sought to further pursue conversation with the enigmatic creature before him. “A pot of tea then; since I’m having to share.” Isaac waved the waiter off after giving the order: not willing to watch as it gawked or admired or feared the creature Isaac was making light conversation with. “So if you control the academy’s finances, that would make you a person of some importance, it seems. An important person such as you must be privy to important information: would that be a fair guess?” Isaac smiled briefly as he put down his glass of water and sliced a bit of the Venison steak, before placing it into his mouth and chewing thoughtfully. He was hoping to manipulate even this strange situation to his advantage: and the strange creature could very easily be the key that provided him answers to a great many questions stuck in his mind: The revolt of the last academic year being paramount amongst them.
