Hogwarts RPG Name: Eliza Neladara Dawnsel Fifth Year | By the time Eliza got to the meet and greet, the line wasn't all that long. She'd spent a decent amount of time chatting in the seating area, so a lot of students had already come and gone from this area. As she stood on the sparkling carpet, waiting her turn, she wondered what she was even going to ask her. She had told Daichi she would meet the Headmistress and try to get a read on her. He said that she'd been rather rude to him, but Eliza thought that seemed odd. She wasn't sure why the woman would become the Headmistress at all if she weren't equipped and happy to deal with children. She thought something else must have happened in their exchange that made her snap at him. All I can do is be myself and see what I think, she thought. Her thoughts still hung on the missing brooch and why it was so important to Truebridge. Does it have powers? she wondered. She doubted she could just come out and ask that though. She thought anyone who was that desperate for an item back had more reason than just "missing" it, for a castle wide search launch. Hmmm...tread carefully, she warned herself.
In the middle of her pondering, the few students in front of her cleared away, meaning it was her turn to speak. Oh gosh... She was a little nervous now. Not because she was speaking to the Headmistress, but because she wanted information and wasn't quite sure how to get it.
She approached the pink throne, which was all a bit much for her taste. She seriously hoped the woman hadn't dictated this set up for herself, because if she had it would be not just completely self-absorbed, but just plain weird too. She shrugged off the thought and introduced herself in a polite and friendly voice. "Hello Headmistress Truebridge," She thought about holding her hand out for her to shake it, but it seemed like a rather business like thing to do so she sort of half bow/nodded instead. "I'm Eliza Dawnsel." She starting clawing at the edges of her mind for something to ask her when the idea came to her, "I was wondering... Do you travel often? You know, go to beautiful, exciting new places?" She smiled, pleasantly surprised with her quick thinking. To be even more personable she added, "I would love to! But there are so many places I'm not sure where I'd go first." If she could get her to talk about her travels, maybe she could find more out about this special brooch. |
