[h3][center][color=goldenrod]Sonia Weaver[/color][/center][/h3] Sonia shouldn't be surprised at the strange things going on at this school, but she still was. As she was about to start on her second sandwich Sonia spotted another arachne but... Something was different about this one. There was a certain aura, and air about her that Sonia couldn't place. It wasn't entirely magical in nature per say, but something more... Feral. Instincts. Something inside Sonia's head warned her that this other arachne was no mere arachne. It was fight or flight but Sonia knew she couldn't possibly win this fight, nor did she have any means to flee. It was just an unfamiliar sense of dread and... Delight? Sonia couldn't put it to words. She was happy to see another Arachne. The other arachne just scared her. Doesn't help that she's also a teacher. When Tholl approached and questioned Sonia she just froze, her face, stuck with a polite smile. Nothing to indicate any challenge, and just passively subservient. But in her mind Sonia was wondering what sort of a mess she found herself in. [i][color=goldenrod]"Be cool. You're cool. it's fine, everything is fine. So maybe you might be a bit more popular than you thought. No problem, that's not a bad thing. So maybe this other Arachne has you in her sights. That's fine that's fine. You're not in trouble. You're a good girl.[/color][/i] Nodding her head Sonia took a small sip of her coffee, doing her damnest to remain composed. [color=goldenrod]"That is correct. My name is Sonia Weaver. I've... Never seen you before."[/color] Not Sonia's best rebuke. Just when Sonia thought maybe she could keep herself cool, Tholl sat down right next to Sonia. She even offered Sonia her smoothie, knowing very well that the coffee that Sonia was drinking would be intoxicating to her. Granted Sonia only had a few sips so it's not as if she was even buzzed yet, but Tholl would know the intentions Sonia had with her drink. Clearing her throat Sonia nodded her head and grasped the cup. [color=goldenrod]"T-Thanks. But I'm not drunk. One bottle of ice coffee is hardly going to make me feel buzzed."[/color] Sonia did take sips from the smoothie though. It was delicious; better than her own cooking. For something that looked little more than a slurry of red, it had a very pleasant taste that was neither overpowering nor faint, as if Sonia was eating a steak wellington in liquid form. The fact that Sonia didn't know what the meat was didn't really bother her; she can stomach all types. As Sonia and Tholl had their exchange, Circe excused herself. Sonia didn't even get a word in before she left and met up with two boys who were walking in their direction. Sonia blushed at the thought of sitting with a couple of boys on her first day. Or rather, the boys coming to her table first. She knew better than to have such naive thoughts, but the idea of a guy coming onto Sonia was not unpleasant to her. She never imagined anyone would take the initiative to talk to her, sans other Arachne like Tholl of course. It looked like Circe was leading them away though, thus leaving the two spiders sitting together. Still nervous but trying to overcome it Sonia looked to her teacher. [color=goldenrod]"Ah. Um.... Thank you for the smoothie. You mention you had a brood? Do your children attend too?"[/color] [@Lonewolf685]
