"Mr Gevrik you startled me, I didn't hear you coming," she smiled. Which was odd considering it wasn't exactly a noisy place. "But, urrr, yes, I would imagine they will be equally as beautiful. If we get the thick snow the area is famous for."
As the man moved closer to her, Isabelle changed her stance to face him. It was always more polite to talk to someone's face than to avoid eye contact. Placing one hand on the ledge of the arch, and the other in her robe pocket, Issy relaxed her posture as she looked the man up and down. Smart, smooth, pleasant.
Isabelle greeted his hello with a warm smile and nod of the head at first. "It's nice to meet you, Mr Gevrik." Extending a hand to him, she quirked an eyebrow at his next choice of words. Looking to speak with her? Hmm. Must be due to the fact he was new to the school, like her, and he wished to speak with everyone. Yes, that must be it. "You have? Ahh well, here we are," Issy grinned. "Was there something inparticular you wanted to speak to me about?" If there was, she didn't quite know what.
"I'm sorry, I did not mean to surprise you." Ikenna smoothed things over with a smile as he moved closer and warmly shook Isabelle's hand.
"I seem to have an uncanny knack for surprising or...what is the phrase? Creeping out the students?"
He delivered the phrase with such a tone of confusion that it was clearly a joke. Ikenna Gevrik, a creeper?
Never.
"It is nice to meet you as well," he chuckled, raising a brow at her grin.
"There are many things we could speak about, I'm sure, beyond just the weather...plenty of topics such as family, friends, relatives...."
Yes, he had read her file. Gevrik was a good student. All good students do their homework.
