Kurumi eyed the binders for a moment. Hopefully she hadn't caused any of the papers in them to crease or shift about. Kurumi knew how long it often took her to organize her binders and how livid she had been when Adam had thrown some of her papers about in the Gryffindor common room as an attempt to cheer her up - she had nearly hexed him instead.
"I don't think we really have either," Kurumi said shaking her head. At least, the time they had met hadn't left a very good impression on Kurumi. Of course, it hadn't been just her, but the entire Ravenclaw team that had been a little too smug for her own liking after the match. No words of congratulations and flat out ignoring her teammates hadn't won this little lion over at all. "I'm Kurumi, Kurumi Hollingberry," she smiled, semi expecting there to be a handshake. But when it didn't come, Kurumi was left confused. She hadn't been faced with this situation before. No handshake? Perhaps Ellie came from a culture that bowed?
Only one way to find out...
Kurumi bowed deeply upon saying her name. "It's nice to officially meet you."
Could you really blame Ellie for being concerned over the poor, stuttering girl that she knocked to the ground's well being? No, Ellie thought not.
"You have had a lot worse, or you have a lot worse?" Very different. The latter could still be attributed to the injury the Ravenclaw imposed. And she would feel terrible if that were the case.
Her gaze followed the Lion's to the bag of binders.
"I promise you, they're fine. And if anything's damaged, it wouldn't be anything that isn't easily fixed." She gave them a pat with her hand.
"And it most definitely wouldn't be your fault." Just...she seemed to want to blame herself, and Ellie wouldn't let her.
The redhead smiled.
"It's nice to meet you too, Kurumi." Though the bow was just...odd.
"That's...not necessary..." She wasn't anything special enough to be bowed at. Like THE LORD Borr or an equivalent of the man.
