He had heard him talking at a rapid speed to other people, but he had assumed that maybe they were familiar with each other. Apparently it was just how he talked. It took him a moment to piece together the individual topics that were in the rush of words. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Hard to tell with a Headmaster who has the most universally impassive face in the country what the real intention is. You'd think someone would hear about it if students are dying during the initiation."[/b][/color] He did agree that this would probably be the easiest part of the initiation. All they had to do was sit and wait for the assistant to come and get them. There was the possibility that there would be something more to this part, but he could only guess, or wait and see. He reached out and shook the other boy's, Midori as he very quickly learned, hand before having to focus all his attention on his bespectacled companion. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Bren Adalwolf. Pleasure to meet you as well."[/b][/color] He was much more used to either being by himself, or being in more serious company given the the combat school in Atlas, so this was a bit more than he was planning on handling. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Hopefully not, but the Headmaster didn't really seem like one for jokes."[/b][/color] If someone did die that would reflect poorly on the school in his opinion. Clearly Midori seemed intent on continuing this conversation on the way to the hotel. He followed after him after a pause and a faint sigh. What had he gotten himself into. Still he didn't want to be rude so he matched pace with Midori, it'd be useful to get to know other people since he might end up being paired with them for the remainder of his time at Haven. If he was trapped in conversation he'd make the best of it. [color=9e0b0f][b]"So what's your specialty then? You mentioned maintenance so I assume mechanics of some kind?"[/b][/color] Maybe if he could find a topic that just set Midori off on a tangent he wouldn't have to do much talking himself.
