Eilidh cocked her head at the excuse that Emily was in a hurry. "Pffft. What kind of Brit can't queue? Also, music is a hobby to me. Back at my house, I have a record player, a CD collection, a vinyl collection and you can't see the walls for the band posters. I spend hours a day listening to it! I just wish I had the temperament to play it, or the talent to sing."

She stayed standing and listening to Emily's story. She definitely felt pity at Emily's mention of having no parents, but didn't say anything. Still, it showed in her eyes and body language, but that changed to something different when she mentioned the other Raiju. Eilidh figured out, or at least assumed, the truth. That was still sad, but a little more reassuring. Her parents hadn't abandoned her, but were keeping an eye on her, or at least a male relative was. It did explain why she was the way she was. She had never been taught discipline, and had spent most of her life doing what she wanted. The teachers here would act as authority figures. Eilidh, she decided, would act as a friend.
