He glanced over as she addressed him and he nodded his head, "I am indeed," he said, Irish accent stronger than it normally was. He cleared his throat and ran his hand though his hair. He hated when the accent was so strong. Not that he wasn't proud of his heritage ... it's just ... he didn't know much about it. And it made him uncomfortable whenever he heard the accent more pronounced.
Like now.
"Seemed like you were having a good time over there," he added with a nod of his head in the direction of the lagoon.
Beth's face lit up when she heard his Irish accent. "You're Irish?" She asked instantly. "Me too!" She grinned, not having been acquainted with any other irish students yet. Her accent wasn't quite as strong in the same sense as his, it was slightly more subtle, though strong in a different way. "Fun?" She snorted. "Right. It's my fifteenth birthday, and I have a first year trying to set up a party, and I have just swam, despite the fact I swim like a squirrel." She said, hoping he would catch on that squirrels couldn't swim.
