[color=#848482]“Is that so?”[/color] Dawn rose a brow, then smiled again. [color=#848482]“Things are the, ah, complete opposite for me, really. You can’t take a step without running into another human being. It’s...very crowded, to say the least.”[/color] Her tone was pleasant, the sort you’d take when making idle chit chat when waiting in line for a movie ticket. Even the knowledge of what the man truly was, flickering in and out in the surface of his thoughts, didn’t change it in the slightest. 

She met his eyes for a moment, glanced at the bruise, but didn’t comment on it. Instead, she said, [color=#848482]“I’ve met some...fairly unique people here and there, yes.”[/color] Dawn opened her mouth to continue, but whatever words she might have had were stolen by the sound of rushing wind. Clutching her hat tightly to her head, she turned to see a giant, two-headed dragon, accompanied by a phoenix of some sorts, land beside one of the students.

Her eyes widened in genuine surprise, and she found herself going silent for a moment before suddenly clearing her throat. 

[color=#848482]“...That, um. That’s...probably a first for me, though.”[/color] She gave a somewhat sheepish laugh, took a moment to adjust her hat, then turned back to her newly found companion.

[color=#848482]“Anyway. Um. I can understand why you might be nervous, but I’m sure that none of us bite- in a metaphorical sense, at least. I know that I don’t.”[/color] Dawn smiled at the stranger from beneath her hat, then extended a gloved hand towards him. 

[color=#848482]“Dawn Memoli. Mage. It’s nice to meet you.”[/color]
