Oh fuck it had worked, someone actually introduced themselves to her, as she looked up at the person holding a hand out to her, her bangs which were not in the pony tail she was wearing fell in her face and forgetting that she had books in her hand she brushed back her bangs behind her ear, dropping the books in her attempt. Her face flared red and she clenched her fists and closed her eyes, making a little movement with her hands that basically described the word 'why', she sighed and looked up at the person in front of her again and gave him a small smile, "yes, I am Val, it's nice to meet you too, Lieutenant." She said, trying to sound casual as if dropping four books to brush back your hair was normal, she held out her hand to shake his, as she was told this was a normal human thing to do, shake hands when they met, so she did, ignoring the books in which she had dropped on the ground.
