[h1][color=darkorchid]Ara (B)[/color][/h1]

[color=darkorchid]“In that case, I highly recommend that you resume your journey there.”[/color]

Suddenly cutting into the conversation, Ara appeared from behind Aurelia. She hadn’t really been going anywhere in particular, and after following the flow of students going towards the stairwell she noticed the two women just idly standing in the middle of the hallway conversing with one another.

Ara was in quite a good mood that day. The weather was nice, the bustle of students were a nice change from the dusty shop she'd been stuck in for the last few years... And most of all, she was actually around to be able to enjoy all of it! She and [b]A[/b] had gotten into quite the argument as they fought for the right to be the one to make the first impressions at Athalia. And while normally she would have passed right by the two women without a second thought, she was very much in the mood to get to know as many people as possible. The more people knew her, after all, the less they would be inclined to think that [b]A[/b] was the one that was the real 'Ara'.

As if in an attempt to soften the sudden interruption, she gave them a quick ‘look how friendly I am?’ sort of smile before letting her facial muscles relax back into a neutral position. [color=darkorchid]“Since you’re beginning to impede the traffic here.”[/color] She continued, nodding at the way other students were weaving around them in order to continue along their way. In reality the hallways were wide enough that the other students could still continue on their way without much hassle, but it was true that they had to slow down and walk around the now-crew-of-three.

[color=darkorchid]“Ah, for the record I’m not really criticizing you. But if you wanted to create an obstacle here you’ve done a poor job of it.”[/color] She cocked her head to the side with an amused look as she studied their expressions. [color=darkorchid]“And since I ended up eavesdropping on your introductions, I’ll make it fair and introduce myself as well.”[/color]

She cleared her throat once before actually getting into the introduction itself. [color=darkorchid]“My name is Ara. Ara Glaisyer. And though I will not be offended if you don’t recognize me in the future, I would appreciate if you know that I am the [i]only[/i] Ara Glaisyer. And if a strange and suspicious man attempts to introduce himself as such, please do not hesitate to slap him for identity theft.”[/color]
