[center][u][color=ed145b]Irina Ivanov[/color][/u] Cafeteria: [@HecateProxy][/center] Irina's mouth had began to water as she watched the eggs nearly finish cooking and she prepped the cheese to be added in. The only reason she had even looked up was because the voices in the hallway had faded but the voices in her head had begun. Quiet, but present. A sigh escaped her barely parted, full lips as she looked towards the door. It was a small girl with hair like Irina had never seen before. Irina's mouth had fallen slightly open as she stared, but she caught herself quickly as she remembered something that the girl had told herself in her thoughts. Staring, indeed, wasn't a good thing to do. Luckily, the girl had not seen Irina, so she went back to focusing on her cooking, only looking back up when the petite young woman walking in to the cooking area. She smiled at her in response to the small wave, not being able to use her hands as she was placing the food on a plate. [i]'What's she going to make?'[/i] Irina had deliberately began to move slower to be able to snoop in on what the girl was doing. She seemed a bit nervous. Through her thoughts, Irina was able to pick up on things here and there which made her smile. Mainly the giant 'awkward' sign above both of their heads. In an attempt to make things seem less awkward, Irina decided to finish up her cooking and turn to the girl. [color=ed145b]"Hello."[/color] Irina flashed her pearly whites at the cute girl and walked over a few steps to get a good look at her choice of ingredients. [color=ed145b]"You backed me up very nicely in the auditorium. Thank you.. For not making me feel or look like a fool... I'm Irina"[/color] Her Spanish accent and nervousness caused her to be more awkward than she thought she would be. [i]'So much for easing the tension.'[/i] She drew up several blanks as she spoke to the girl, which made Irina want to go jump off a cliff. She wasn't like this with Abel or Nikolai. Probably because she kicked the crap out of Nikolai and Abel had to stop her from nearly punching him right after. [i]That was one hell of an ice breaker. [/i] [color=ed145b]"So, um, what are you cooking? You need help?"[/color]
