When she did, she tilted her head to look up at him, not blinking at all. She liked to think it was unnerving. She looked him up and down, taking in how he looked. She had thought low-rise trousers had gone out of fashion years ago, but as a northern harpy, she supposed she wouldn't be the best judge of that. His wings were interesting, looking draconic but not entirely so. Perhaps she could get a closer look later.

She sat there for another minute, watching him blankly as she had done for all the other students that had passed through the gardens. Eventually, Talía stood, drawing herself to her full height, which wasn't very impressive, especially compared to the man in front of her. She maintained her disinterested appearance, still not breaking eye contact, though she had decided to start blinking again. [color=76bbff]"I see you as I see everyone else. You are one to speak of gawking when you have just spent an hour sitting with your eyes closed. What is the point? I do not understand."[/color] She narrowed her eyes, examining his face as if to see his intentions.

[color=76bbff]"It is a... competition you want, then. But a competition is not fun if it is too easy to win."[/color] She ruffled up her feathers. [color=76bbff]"If you wish to act how you do, though... perhaps I will accept your offer. I think it will be fun."[/color] Talía paused for a minute, as if considering her options. [color=76bbff]"A battle would be best, but I do not want to injure you too much. Such lovely wings, it would be a shame if they were hurt."[/color] She really was having more fun with this than she probably should have been. [color=76bbff]"If you still want to... then it will be a learning experience. I will teach you some manners."[/color]

Talía turned away, feeling rather smug, but maintaining her cool expression. [color=76bbff]"Shall we go, then? Unless you are feeling ill all of a sudden."[/color]
