She thought the gesture was incredibly flattering, especially when coupled with the compliment returned to her after a previous comment. The girl was beaming by the time their third roommate made her appearance, jostling her from her giddy school girl moment. Clearing her throat Maria turned to face the newcomer, noticing the gorgeous kimono instantly. Absolutely fascinated by it, she fought the urge to whip out her camera and start taking pictures. She had just met the group after all and she didn't want to spook them with her odd habits. Polaris rustled behind his charge, his look of boredom never fading though he was sure to nod his head respectfully in greeting to each of the members in turn. "[color=f26522]Well child, if you're alright getting yourself settled in I would like to have a look around. I'll see you at the headmaster's speech, try not to be late.[/color]" He nudged the human softly with his wing before shifting into his much smaller butterfly form, fluttering away gracefully now that he had greeted everyone he deemed important enough to greet. Watching the small yellow critter fly away, Maria sighed and smiled in Rasetsu's direction. She had nearly forgotten that some places throughout the world presented their family's surname before they presented their personal name... But she did know that in such countries, to speak with another using their first name was either incredibly disrespectful or a sign of a close relationshp. Feeling somewhat honored that her new roommate asked them to use her mane so familiarly, Maria's smile doubled. "[color=f49ac2]Bonjour! I am Maria Desrosiers, but Maria is just fine. And that little fluttering cloud of joy was my guardian Polaris. He grows on you, I promise.[/color]" Maria laughed as she sat back on her own bed, bouncing slightly to get a feel for the matress. Much to her surprise, it was perfectly balanced between firmness and softenss. The school truly spared no expense for these kids. Turning her attention back to the guardian named Yakou, Maria maintained a warm smile. "[color=f49ac2]There's nothing wrong with a little formality, I think it's great... But then again I'm from France and we often have a very formal way of speaking to one another, so I guess you could say that I am used to it by now.[/color]" Maria shrugged her shoulders with her palms faced toward the cieling. The young girl was glad that her roommates seemed so nice, having been worried that she would hve to keep up a certain appearance for image's sake... But she could tell that these two would allow her to relax a little around them. If she would ever let herself get to that point that is. Following Akira's lead, Maria stood up from her bed and began unpacking some of her things, being careful to keep her extra camera equipment hidden from view as she stuffed the items under her bed for safe keeping. "[color=f49ac2]So what to you two think of this place thus far? Live up to your expectations?[/color]" [@Ojo chan 42][@sakurasan]
