Interactions: Aeschel Aspro ([@DrTwit]), Cinna Arelle ([@Ithradine]), Aquarius Haifisch ([@Agent 47]), Kobalt Zaffre* ([@AGenericUser])[/center][hr]

Xinyue nodded in acknowledgement of all the introductions, seemingly satisfied with the fact that she'd learnt some more names. Kobalt Zaffre was the first to give his, and the two girls, Cinna Arelle and Aquarius Haifisch, had gave theirs at roughly the same time as each other. Of course, Xinyue already knew of Aeschel from back when they were all on that vessel that was headed for Beacon.

[color=6ecff6]"Very well, then. I am Xinyue Cao Tang,"[/color] she finally introduced herself; it was at this time that she noted Cinna's compliment of her dress, [color=6ecff6]"Why thank you. I have several of this same dress, myself."[/color]

Well... it'd be considered small talk at best, but at least Xinyue was interacting with more people, which would be good for her. After all, this group was more or less the size of a team she'd be expected to work with.

[color=00aeef]”Would you mind if I asked you a question? As in, how the hell did you get so tall?”[/color] asked Aquarius; Xinyue had to ponder that one.

[color=6ecff6]"I suppose I [i]would[/i] be considered abnormally tall,"[/color] she deduced, before supposing she should actually answer the question, [color=6ecff6]"My body has been growing at a rate one would expect, and it stopped at a normal age as well. If I had to guess as to why I've become at this height, it would be... because of the 'head start' it was given, if you will."[/color]

Xinyue didn't read too much into Aeschel's apology for their prior conversation being cut short. She did think about resuming said conversation, but with most everyone else either preparing to go to sleep or already having [i]fallen[/i] asleep, this time of night wasn't the best time for it. After all, she had to respect the necessity for adequate rest, especially for as large an event as the initiation.

[color=f26522]"I hope you guys do well in the initiation process."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"Yes, [i]about[/i] that... It'd be wise to get as much shut-eye as we're going to be able to for tomorrow,"[/color] Xinyue added along with Aeschel's wishes for good luck, before looking down at the floor with a disheartened look in her eyes, [color=6ecff6]"That said, that floor looks none too comfortable. I didn't bring any sleepwear myself, so this wall I'm leaning on will have to suffice."[/color]
