[i][color=00a651]"Daughter of the goddess of love, perhaps that would explain the unease..."[/color][/i] She thought, observing the way Alena reacted up close to her and catching the minutiae of her speech and mannerisms. Most curious was the way her words still flowed like silken honey, soothing to her ears and instilling a warmth within her body that she felt quite certain was the product of something quite different, but on realization of the effect it loosened the hold it had been taking. Almost intuitively she understood what was happening, and connected the dots between her awkward mannerisms and charming speech. It appeared at first interaction that Alena could instill such emotions within others, though perhaps not quite control it yet and her own appearance was causing more than enough difficulty on that front. Devi's smile flickered for just the scantest of moments as she thought perhaps she might have been a bit too forward, and that her roommate was taking her approach as more than simply a friendly greeting. Not that she was against more than that, she thought as her eyes quickly took in her quite potent physical form.

She restored her grin to full as her smaller hand was taken in by Alena's, thinking perhaps that she should ease off a bit and make it clear that she's not under sway before making any advances. "[color=00a651]A daughter of the goddess of beauty, appropriate I think as there is much to be said about a well maintained physique. My father has many attributes, though I feel I most take after the aspect of compassion and friendship, even if I'm not quite as outgoing as I would like to be.[/color]" Again, that genuine smile that seemed to communicate more than just her words, but the feeling of it being okay to relax around her, that she wasn't going to judge Alena based on her ancestry.

Devi was almost disappointed when the warmth of the other woman retreated from her at the sound of the boy from before, though she was sure not to show as much when she turned and gave him a warm greeting as well. "[color=00a651]Hello Ebbo, I was wondering who the cute boy was who had been roomed with us, and now I know.[/color]" Her tone was just as inviting and friendly as before with Alena, though the more she spoke the more it seemed her English improved even if just ever so subtly. The sight of the cat did not seem to bother her in the slightest, only provoking her to reach forward and attempt to pet him. "[color=00a651]And hello to this handsome fellow as well.[/color]" Devi was not particularly fond of cats, or dogs for that matter, but she understood why they were good companions and why people kept them even if she chose not to.

As quick as the greetings were exchanged, it seemed more was to come, and she watched curiously as Alena darted back into her room with a fair bit of commotion only to return with a bottle of clear spirits that seemed very close to what she thought was vodka, and probably significantly stronger than what she could handle. It would have been rude to refuse however, and especially when she wished to make a good impression on someone she wanted to be friends with. "[color=00a651]I believe it is okay since I was old enough in my village to drink, though the Americans say you have to be 21? Either way, I will accept a drink if you are offering, in the spirit of friendship.[/color]"
