Francesco Sapienti
Location: Professor X's office
"Wow everybody is so happy to see me, I haven't even baked a cake yet.....weird"
Francesco took her hand, his handshake was a little meek, a telltale sign of his low self esteem. Was it that obvious that he was new here? He smiled in spite of himself. He wasn't that good at faking it as he thought, too bad. Francesco always liked to think he was an unreadable person, so long for that fantasy.
"Yes, this is my first week here actually." He answered smiling back at her, starting to feel more comfortable. The girl was way less intimidating when she was talking, instead of standing near the door looking almost flawless. He stopped tugging at his clothes and smoothed out any folds in his sweater. Someone was walking towards the door, he could hear footsteps on the other side. Francesco quickly brought his hand up to the top of his head, to check if his bun was still relatively in place. He played with it a little, tucking in some stray locks and the like.
Marygold and him were greeted by a blonde girl, her cheer making Francesco nearly jump out of his skin. Everyone already knew who he was.....
Which was completely weird to him because aside from the Professor and Beast he had barely talked to anyone at the Institute, even though he was mostly to blame for that. He was shy around new people and not very keen on interacting with them. The blonde girl didn't seem to have any trouble with it though.
He followed Marygold and entered the office, noting that it was just the four of them inside. The familiar sense of mild anxiety he felt in social situations was creating butterflies in his stomach. It wasn't that bad that he wanted to run out of the office but it was enough to make him feel slightly ill at ease. He was used to it though. He tried to distract himself by glancing around the office. The Professor had great taste, he loved the warmth and slightly antique style of the mansion.
They hadn't closed the door behind them and from his position he could see other students standing in the hallway. A guy and a girl from what he could tell. It was getting pretty busy, but maybe that was normal around here. He'd only spent a week at the Institute after all.
Francesco looked at the Professor who was maneuvering his wheelchair from behind his desk. He waited until the older man got to where he needed to be before offering a quick and tiny wave.
