[Center=Dead Center][h1][Color=LemonChiffon]Meredith Odile[/color][/h1] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/f71f94d1-1298-43ce-b2b7-78f47b7de5b2.jpg [/img] [b]_________________________________________________________________________[/b] [@Allycat] [@CosmicComet] [@Altered Tundra][/center] Taking another bite of her salad, Meredith watched through squinted eyes as more people approached their table, not taking the almost obvious hints that she was attempting to throw at them through small glares and uncomfortable shifts in her seat. She began to feel a little overwhelmed already, but she covered it with a sigh, straightening herself to look a bit more intimidating, though it was difficult considering she was 5'1 exactly and looked a bit young for her age. Turning back to Karina, as she found out, Meredith tilted her head slightly, taking a moment to respond to her question. [Color=LemonChiffon]"Well, I was trying to bring up [i]something[/i], you know-."[/color] She blinked a few times before finishing her sentence. [Color=LemonChiffon]"-For [i]conversation[/i] purposes. You wouldn't want me to just sit here without saying a word, yes? Making it awkward for the both of us?"[/color] Meredith asked rhetorically, with a hint of sarcasm on her voice before she gave a small cough as she realized it. It was a bad habit she was trying her best to break, if you count "trying her best" as "barely trying", which was a more accurate term. She didn't really know Karina, nor Nadia, whom she seemed familiar with, but Meredith certainly was not, pursing her lips at the woman's early morning optimism. [Color=LemonChiffon]"Ah, er, hello there. You're Nadia I'm assuming? Since that's what Karina adressed you as,"[/color] Meredith waved her hand before resting it on her lap again. [Color=LemonChiffon]"Not sure if you're aware already, but I'm Meredith,"[/color] she greeted yet another person, before once again turning back to Karina. [Color=LemonChiffon]"Hmm, I don't necessarily believe 'excited' is the right description,"[/color] she said, pausing. [Color=LemonChiffon]"Maybe try...I dunno, 'indifferent', perhaps? They're just like normal classes, but with a hint of magic, which I suppose is more fun. Some of the teachers though are rather irritating, and it's not gonna be long before [i]someone[/i] get their ass kicked, but-,"[/color] she shrugged. [Color=LemonChiffon]"-It's pretty neat overall. I only have like, two classes during the day, so I have a whole lot of free time,"[/color] also not realizing the wolf that had gone and sat behind Karina, but noticing the snake that had slithered onto the other woman's shoulder; the one who had sat a seat away from them. Meredith looked at it for a moment, interested. And then as she began to ease up a little, yet [i]another[/i] person approached with an overall optimistic disposition, which don't get her wrong, she didn't have anything against it, just that she wasn't nearly in the mood this early in the morning. Turning her head towards him, she said, [Color=LemonChiffon]"Excuse me, but please don't. Just-,"[/color] she sighed, tilting her head, a tad annoyed now. [Color=LemonChiffon]"-No."[/color]
