Alistair looked at the new boy who entered their cabin, and in response to his greeting he simply smiled to the other boy before looking back at the window. He was in a deep though but he realized it was rude to leave a person who just entered to himself, so he broke his stare from out of the window and looked at the newcomer.

"Hey there, my name is Alistair what is yours?" He asked politely to the other guy, kinda awkwardly as he was rubbing the side of his arm. He was indeed looking at the other boy, and was studying him silently while waiting for the answer to question. He made sure not to stare for too long and diverted his attention every so often before going back to study the guy. He seemed to be a normal person, he had a blondish hair which looked nice on him, he also looked like the kind of person who looked like he had siblings from more clues but he couldn't judge a person this early... but he was still doing it never the less. 

His attention was split between the companions that he had in the cabin, as he was looking at the blue haired boy who hadn't said much and the newcomer who had greeted the two when he came in. So far the newcomer was the sociable one of the group, as right now Alistair wasn't talking out of friendliness it was for more like... pleasantries. He didn't want awkward tension even though he knew that it would be most likely between this group.... and there he goes again judging... He sighed as he waited patiently with his hands now in his pockets which he could feel his wand on his right pocket and a small notebook on his left. He never left the two possessions as it was best to never be caught unprepared. His notebook in his other pocket was a rough review on the more useful spells from the Standard Book of Spell: Year 1 and one or two spells from the Year 2 book that he had gotten and placed in his luggage along with his 1-year book as well. The notebook had the name of the spell as the Title, then the effect under that; at the bottom was the hand motion to preforming the spell. The whole notebook in all was a 3' by 5', a really small notebook useful for recording and notes if needed.
