Edwyn leaned back in his seat, relieved that he had gotten Tim to relax a little when the boy responded. Deciding that it was a good time to take a break from the conversation, he looked up, just making eye contact with a new passenger - a girl in an archer's hat who looked a little too young to be enrolled at the academy. She said nothing before taking her seat.

The next to board was a whimsical, boisterous individual who began with greeting everyone and then addressed Tim directly while jabbing him in the face. Edwyn glanced over at the boy, who seemed to be retreating back into his shell as 'Irah' continued with a rather detailed introduction about themselves. He was slightly annoyed, as he had only gotten Tim to calm down not too long ago, though, he did not let it show as he kept his relaxed demeanor. He also held back from responding to Irah's possibly flirtatious wink at him and the prince beside him with a playful eye roll.

Irah's gender identity was obviously something really important to them, considering how it took up the largest chunk of their introduction. Naturally, Edwyn knew that showing respect for what meant a lot to someone was a convenient way to get on their good, and possibly, generous side.

"I'll call you whatever you want to be called, [i]Miss[/i] Hightop," Edwyn replied with a smile. Personally, he found other aspects of Irah to be way more intriguing. He then stood and extended a hand. "Edwyn Spriggins, it's a pleasure."

While all of that was going on, Edwyn found himself partially distracted by the abnormal movement of the shadow cast by the girl who had also just introduced herself, his eyes occasionally shifting to observe the strange phenomenon. However, he mentioned nothing of it.
