[sup][color=#BC7B37][b][i]INTERACTING WITH[/i][/b][/color] — [@Dutchess Sarah][/sup][/center][hr][hr]Even though she hated to admit it, Mina had been extremely nervous about attending the large school. Even though she was as bright and cheerful as she could be, the young woman couldn't help but wonder whether or not the other students would find her as charming as the folks back home did. The more Mina thought about it all, however, the more she began to feel silly. Here she was, attending the only school at which she could learn more about harnessing and controlling her magic without having to stay hidden, and rather than focusing on her classes like everyone else probably was, she was busy worrying about making friends. Much to Mina's relief, the girl who sat across from her at the table flashed a quick smile back as she introduced herself. 

[i]Lavender[/i] was what the younger girl called herself, a name that Mina thought suited her pretty well. Mina couldn't help but notice the brief, peculiar expression that crossed Lavender's face after a moment, but she decided to shrug it off as first day jitters as she reached back into her pocket. [color=#BC7B37]"Ah, right,"[/color] Mina sighed, struggling for a moment before pulling her room key out of the front pocket of her denim jeans. [color=#BC7B37]"Looks like I'll be bunking in room [i]207 B[/i]."[/color] As she spoke, Mina took another quick glance around the room, taking in her surroundings for the first time since she'd entered the common room. The very first thing she noticed about the room was its odd assortment of furniture, and the second was the buffet table that was tucked against the far wall. She and her growling stomach were disappointed to see that the majority of the food had already been eaten. [color=#BC7B37][i]I guess that's what happens when you arrive late[/i][/color], the young woman thought as she turned back to face her new acquaintance. 

[color=#BC7B37]"So, as you know, I showed up a little late,"[/color] Mina said with a shrug, [color=#BC7B37]"Care to clue me in on anything I missed? Can't help but feel a slight tension in the room. And what's your primary, if you don't mind me asking?"[/color] Mina could have asked the young girl much more, things such as her place of origin or what she was most looking forward to in the upcoming school year, but she decided against it. She figured that it'd be best not to scare her away by bombarding her with too many questions.
