Kurumi blinked a few times when Christopher suddenly laughed out loud, but she figured it had something to do with her name. After all, if she had met someone whose name meant 'peanut' she would be giggling a little under her breath as well. "
My father really likes walnuts I guess," she replied shrugging. "
Although, Father does often tell me that I was his little treasure and that is why he picked the name. Then there was something about a hard shell surrounds valuable contents...I am really not too sure..." she explained blushing a little. She was probably rambling now.
She then looked up at him when he mused about his own name. "
Christopher..." she repeated as she took out her quill and a small piece of parchment. "
I am not sure about it's meaning in English, but it I were to write it using kanji it would look something like this." She took some time to carefully think out what characters to use. Transcribing foreign names into her native language could be a very tricky thing. Sometimes there just were no sounds in her language that matched, so she had to take a little bit of creative licence. "Here," she smiled when she was finished and passed the parchment to him.
Kurumi flipped through the book in her hand a little more. "
I had to admit, I haven't read any non-magical literature for a long time now. I've mostly been coming to the library to read books about magical creatures...and Quidditch..." But not so much the latter.
"
I...have only started liking my eyes recently," she blushed as she gripped the edges of her skirt. She didn't really want to get into the reasons behind that right now and turn their conversation into some sort of pity party, so she tried to avoid too much details. "
They always made me stand out more than anyone else. No one else in my family as them." Although her father could if he so desired. Kurumi thought for a moment about the girl he was describing. "
Oh! You must mean Violet. I met her when she was a first year." Kurumi nodded her head. She remembered being overjoyed and finding someone else like her...only their reasons for having violet eyes were very VERY different.
Kurumi's eyes widened a bit when she noticed Christopher staring at her. No, not at her, but at her hair. She instantly pulled her pony tail in front of her face for a quick inspection. Nope, everything appeared to be normal. "
I-I-Is there a problem?" she asked as he heart pounded in her chest. Perhaps she should just throw her hood over her head now and save herself the panic.
