She was about to ask Kitty something else when she noticed the shell-shocked girl (Julia) sitting near Kitty. "Is she okay?"

As the feast began, he filled his plate modestly, idly eating his start-of-term dinner while continuing to silently people watch, even as people at his own table conversed around him.

"I think it goes very nicely with my personality and style. Do you have a style?" She hoped she didn't sound rude in asking, she was just curious.
She turned to look at the girl Haddie was referring to, another new raven who was looking very amazed. "I don't know. Hang on, I'm going to say hi."
"Hello!" said Kitty to the first year. "My name is Kitty Darkness Valentine, but you can call me Kitty Darkness." She extended her pale hand to the new girl, not quite certain if she was going to shake it or high five it.
Julia looked at the hand for a few seconds, dragging her brain back from its near-catatonic state at all the
things around her, but eventually she raised her own hand and gave the other one a shake.
Kitty Darkness. She blinked a few times and asked, “Is that short for anything?”
Then she realized she’d better give her own name, and added, “I’m Julia Reynolds.”
Fortunately, it looked as though other first years at the table were also taking some time to adjust. Those kids she understood; the ones who continued to bounce around and chatter to others without missing a beat confused her.
