Lystra was doing her best to seem interested in what Roland was saying, but truth be told, she didn't care in the slightest what he liked. At least she was [i]trying[/i] to be nice. That counted for something, right? As he went on to talk about what his interest were, she averted her eyes from his face to her nails. Looking at people for long periods of time made her feel uncomfortable, and in turn, when people did that to her, she felt equally as awkward about it. When people stared at her, she felt exposed or as if something was wrong with her, even if she knew it wasn't true. It was when he mentioned Transfiguration that she immediately became intrigued. He'd said it was going to be a big part of his future. He even said he excelled at it! 

Excited as she was, Lystra kept calm on the outside, thinking it was such a great coincidence that someone seemed to be just as passionate about Transfiguration as she was. When he asked her if that was something she was interested, she gave a smug smirk and flipped a bit of hair over her shoulder. 

[color=skyblue]"Interested?"[/color] she laughed lightly. [color=skyblue]"Transfiguration is my specialty. I'm actually one of the top students in that class."[/color] she would say proudly. [color=skyblue]"I'm also pretty well rounded when it comes to different types of magic, but I got into Transfiguration because I'm an artist and it appealed to me in a different way at first. I've practiced for years, and now I've gotten to a point where I can use my spells in ways no one else even thinks of. Granted, I'm still trying new things and making mistakes here and there, but once I learn Conjuration and Vanishment, I know that will change everything for me."[/color]

It was obvious by her tone that Lystra was talking about something she loved, even though she was sitting in a relaxed position, one could tell by the look in her eyes that she was passionate about her magic. 

[color=skyblue]"I'm in my last year here so I plan to focus entirely on my studies. If I see you around, maybe we can practice together sometime? If you're as good as you say, maybe I can learn a thing or two from you."[/color] she suggested with a shrug. [color=skyblue]"But that's only if you want to. I'm not the best company when I'm training."[/color] she admitted, trying not to look shy, but failed as she glanced away from him. It was kind of how it seemed she felt open enough to talk to him freely like this. Where as before Lystra wasn't interested in carrying a conversation, there was something about him that felt familiar... that made it seem like he was just like her in a lot of ways. Was this what it was like trying to make friends?
