Dimitri, content to quietly peer up from his hands and watch the others interact, stifled a small chuckle as he watched them. [i][color=0054a6]Everyone's behaving so fluidly, like they aren't trying to figure out in advance every little thing they have to do to appear normal. I wonder if this is what hanging out is like.[/color][/i] He mused just before feeling Victorique press up against him again [i][color=0054a6]And this there's this.[/color][/i]. Dimitri once more tensed up, however this time after watching Victorique interact with Kalinda, he'd sort of come to expect that personal space might be a bit foreign to her. 

He took a few moments to will his body to relax, to get accustomed to being in physical contact with someone his age without said physical contact being either him punching them or them punching him. After a while Dimitri showed almost no response to the girl's proximity save for a slight shift to allow himself a bit more comfort. The sudden feeling over her hair brushing his shoulder and arm caused Dimitri's jaw to tense in alarm, however a quick glance in her direction convinced him to calm down once more. [i][color=0054a6]Does....does she have narcolepsy? She sleep pretty easily around strangers.[/color][/i]. The young man found himself pulled from his thoughts yet again as Ju-Long sent a question his way, catching Dimitri a bit off guard, though to his own surprise he was able to recover quickly, "[color=0054a6]Me? I'm actually fairly new. I mean, I was supposed to be placed in EAT, but they ended up putting me here for...well, I guess what I can do.[/color]". 

Despite his somewhat stoic outward appearance, Dimitri beamed internally at the fact that he'd actually managed to speak to someone without stuttering. He'd even managed to actually look at Ju-Long rather than his hands this time. Deciding to reward himself for actually acting normally for a change, Dimitri began to rifle through his pockets, being careful to not disturb Victorique as he pulled a lime flavored lollipop from his pocket. After unwrapping the candy and putting it in his mouth, Dimitri smiled just a bit as the lime flavor hit him, completely oblivious to how goofy it might have looked for someone like him to be pleased over something as simple as a piece of candy.
