Friend? That was certainly a stretch, so to speak, considering they had known each other for all of, what, a few hours maybe? Still, Aurelia didn't have much time to contemplate, as the newcomer had extended a hand to her. She stared at it for a moment, as if the thought of shaking someone's hand was completely foreign. Never mind that she had literally just done the same thing with Felix, this was an entirely different situation. Before, she had been the one to initiate it. Now she understood why Felix had been so nervous; being offered a hand was, quite frankly, terrifying.

[i]Is this punishment?[/i] She asked herself mentally, twiddling her fingers lightly. [i]This is what I get for complaining, right?[/i] Slowly, the blonde extended her hand, though she couldn't really control her shaking. [i]Nice and easy, just like before, no big deal, you should be used to interacting with so many people.[/i] She gulped lightly, closing her eyes as she took his hand in hers. The handshake was rather brief, but to her it seemed to last an eternity. As she withdrew her hand, she clasped it with her other one, holding it to her heart, as if afraid it was going to fly away at any second.

She then remembered she had to introduce herself. "A-Aurelia." Her voice was much like a hushed whisper, as if her name had been a mistake. At this point the girl's entire body was quaking, as if she was facing some fierce some foe. She felt quite small. "A...a pleasure."
