No matter, gloves on and pulled up nice and high, Kurumi grabbed her supplies and returned to her work station. Flossing a flesh eating plant wasn't all that bad, actually. At least not when she had to do so with Xavier. But he had taken a lichen liking to her.
Looking around for someone to work with, Kurumi spotted a slightly unfamiliar Ravenclaw and decided that it was no time like the present to make herself more available. "I'll partner with you, if you want."
Penny whirled as a slightly older student came and offered to partner with her. She couldn't hide her relief even if she had wanted to.
"Thanks. I'm Penny." Penny held out her gloved hand though it was a coin toss as to whether the girl would shake it. Back home that was how you introduced yourself and that apparently wasn't the custom here.
