Lauren looked up as the door open, a familiar girl looking inside. She was Hye-Jin, also known as Chloe, as Lauren still remembered her trying to teach some of her housemates how to pronounce her name. Until she quit completely. The half-Irish knew a few things about the other girl, but mostly that she tended to be quiet and peaceful. Not a bad trait to share her cabin. 

[color=00a651]Hey there! Sure, come on in!"[/color] she said, with a far better smile than the other girl. She could see that the Korean was slightly uncomfortable, probably she would have preferred not to share or to share the space with some of her friends. Well, sorry, should have come earlier.

As the other girl sat inside, Lauren got back to her book, even if now she felt somewhat distracted. Part of her needed to start some conversation, the need to talk over the silence overcoming her easily. She battled with herself, not really wanting to socialize but too used to small talk to really stop it. [color=00a651]"So... Ready for the year?"[/color] she asked, lamely, before trying to improve it [color=00a651]"How was your summer? Got to get back home for a bit?"[/color]
