Keeping her observant eyes on her surroundings, Bronislava spotted the French boy as he walked in, her face devoid of much expression as he approached. She finished the rest of her little sandwich as she watched him, keeping the rest of her room in her peripheral vision. The Durmstrang girl turned a little more fully to face him as he addressed her. He was awfully friendly and she wondered if he had purposely sought her out, as her ever present internal guard would lead her to those thoughts. That did not mean she would be rude to him, quite the contrary, it just meant that she would be aware.

Her eyes first landed on the prominent smile on his face, then she lazily lifted her eyes to meet his, pausing for a moment before answering him. "Naturally like vhat?" she asked, lightly tossing a lock over her shoulder, innocently acting like she didn't know what he was getting at. "I use no Transfiguration spells if zhat is vhat you mean," she added, allowing the faintest of smiles to lay on her lips. A potion every once in a while, but what girl didn't use beauty potions on her hair?

She turned her head slightly as she caught a movement in her peripheral vision. The girl she had met at Hogsmeade and noticed when she walked in. Minerva was headed towards them. "Hello, Minerva," she greeted with a small smile. She rose a nearly imperceptible eyebrow when the girl had used a nickname typically reserved to those very close to her, but she supposed it was easier Anglicized that way for the Hogwarts students and wouldn't mind while she was here. It could serve its purpose. "Not vell enough," she said with a short chuckle. Her bit of laughter may have sounded humorous, but internally she was not happy about that little fact. "Congratulations to your school." See, should could play the good sport.

She nodded with a slightly bigger smile as the girl said she could introduce her. "Zhat vould be great." Perfect, actually. She needed to meet some of these students and it worked out nicely that she had already met one of the more helpful students here. Kitty? This girl, Minnie as she apparently liked to be called, really seemed to like her nicknames, but she simply smiled and said, "Hello, nice to meet you." Wade, was it? That name was familiar for good reason and she wondered if this boy would be as helpful and forthcoming as Minerva.

"And also nice to meet you, Kat," she added to the Slytherin girl as she was introduced. Perhaps she'd be getting to know her better as well, now that she'd be staying in their dorms. "Is zhat nickname for Katerina?" She had a good friend by that name at school, though she did not go by Kat. Not that it mattered, but she knew small talk was often essential.
