[b]Ajala, Students around the vicinity of the Tree of Dreams, Interactions with Andrej, Anais and Gideon[/b]

[i]A naiad?[/i] Ajala thought, recalling her mother's stories about water kins from the West. She told her about how they were the embodiment of water itself and noted the shared affinity of that particular element. She was quite intrigued to know that there were other creatures around the world that shared the naga's affinity for water, but to see one with her own eyes were quite an experience, one she would never forget. Turning to the aquatic student who had just approached her, "A pleasure to meet you, Gideon. I'm Ajala and I'm a naga, or a nagini, whichever term you prefer." Not wanting to exclude the horned student who approached her first, she adjusted her position to keep both Gideon and him in her periphery of view. "Thank you kindly for your compliments, although I do feel somewhat undeserving of such praise, and a pleasure to meet you as well, but I don't think I've caught your name yet. Something about you both feels... natural, in a unique way to each of you."

Hearing Simon's invitation, Ajala didn't react to it until she and the two students were properly introduced to one another, seeing no need to rush ahead like the centaur did. On one hand, she wasn't as gregarious as said centaur and, at times, shunned large gatherings of students. On the other hand, going out with a lot of new people would let her get to know many of them. Not to mention the fact that familiar faces were starting to move in and, quite possibly, go along with the group. After making sure that the three of them were acquainted with each other, she turned to look at Anais, locating her by her voice and lightly waved at her vampiric roommate. "Hmm... Perhaps I should consider going along with Simon for once... It would make for a nice change of pace. What do you lot think?" she asked, her thick Indian accent showing through.
