[h3]--Ocean Man Cometh--[/h3]
When within the company of 'less-gifted' teens, Lucretia's unusual behaviour would be as obvious as a floating iron golem charging through a porcelain shop. A thirteen-year-old capable of focusing on a single task to such a degree that one wouldn't be at fault to wonder whether she was truly human or something else, perhaps the Konigsmahne managed to engineer one of those fabled "automatons", a novel concept that couldn't yet be realized even by the best technologists of the Occident... or was it? Perhaps behind the veneer of a young silver-haired teenager lied an advanced set of logic engines capable of self-thought and self-learning, although not perfect, hence explaining the girl's personality. 

An automaton, really? A [i]polymath[/i] automaton at that? Truly a ludicrous conspiracy theory, one that was preposterous enough to gain the ire of Emmerich von Konigsmahne, Lucretia's father and House patriarch, and any German could tell you that being on the rich and powerful noble's bad side wasn't... ideal to say the least. 

An educated fellow could simply deduce that geniuses often had their own quirks, no? Especially since most - if not all - geniuses gathered here didn't quite have the wisdom to compensate for said quirks with life experience. Lucy was unusual, sure, but so was the student body here, after all what were they if not for the brightest youths on Earth? Regardless, the fact remained that the German Polymath had the social charisma of a brick wall, a fact that no doubt one Shou Zheng would experience firsthand. 

When the dark-with-red-tint-haired boy's voice reached her ears, Lucy stopped eating, put her fork and knife down, turned her gaze toward him, and blinked once in that specific order. [color=76c0f0][b]"..."[/b][/color] She didn't say anything to him at first, and it wouldn't take a genius to figure out that she was studying him, perhaps digging her memories to associate his likeness to someone she already knew, in the end, it seemed she failed, which meant he was a stranger, a one-sided sentiment considering he already knew her looks and name. A few seconds later, she finally replied, [color=76c0f0][b]"For what purpose?"[/b][/color] She asked bluntly, her flat tone devoid of even the slightest bit of sarcasm or hostility, an absurdly far cry from Mademoiselle Bordeaux.

[color=76c0f0][b]"..."[/b][/color] The question was followed by another few seconds of awkward silence before Lucy continued her attempt at 'courtesy', [color=76c0f0][b]"Perhaps you have business with me, then of course. but first, an introduction is in order, I'm Lucretia von Konigsmahne, and who might you be, sir?"[/b][/color]
