"Yeh, a group would be alrigh'," he said as he joined them with his kettle of hot water and eggs in hand. He placed them on the table and then wiped his hands on his trousers and preceded to gently shake her hand. "I though' ye went by da name Liv?" Oh, great now he went to tell her, her own name. He was so awkward. It was a nickname like how his uncle would call him Ash.
"Eh...uh...anyways, me name is Ashwin...Ashwin Phelan," he quickly added. "I suppose we ought ter separate dese eggs?" He pushed forward a wooden bowl that seemed appropriate for separating the yolks from the whites. He would much rather watch someone else do it, so he can either perfect their technique or learn from their mistakes. Quote:

The more the merrier.
“And I’m Cassie McNally,” she added to her partner’s introduction. “…you can work with both of us.” Surely the professor wouldn’t have a problem with them helping each other out. It was way better than letting someone be out of the loop all alone if they really wanted to partner up. She just let her gaze wander over the supplies already gathered to make sure they had enough for everybody in this venture. Wouldn't due to be short but it looked okay.
Settling herself back down into her seat, which was still SO comfortable, the blonde offered her new friend!boy a bright smile. Possibly her BEST smile, to be honest, but no big deal. "I don't mind if that's what's you'd like to call me." She wasn't dead set on any one nickname. As long as it wasn't rude, Glitter!Lion could roll with it. And if it were to be rude, he could just prepare for his toes to be brutally stomped.
... But they shouldn't think on such unpleasantness right now. Tea was present. 
Not that Olivia got any of those vibes from him. No, Ashwin seemed incredibly shy and just a touch awkward, and it was definitely adorable. To express how pleased she was that he would be staying to work with them, Liv affectionately rubbed his shoulder, her smile still in place. "I have an idea about that." LOOK AT HER CONTRIBUTING! And again, thank you, mum. For this technique. Er, there wasn't any other reason she'd be thanking her right now. Lol, her mother simply didn't eat the whole egg, so she'd seen her do this. Yup.
Digging around in her bag, which was disorganized and could only be described as 'creative chaos', she pulled out an empty plastic water bottle. Empty because when you did the ballet thing, as she did, you had to stay hydrated and such. And she liked to sneak off between lessons, since dance was cathartic and the best natural destresser. Soooo, yep, she kept water on her! "Watch me flub breaking this egg." FIRST TIME CRACKING ONE EVER.
True to her word, the blonde cracked the first two with too much force, popping the yolk before she could properly separate it from the white bit. Delicate things, weren't they? Bloody frustrating... EVENTUALLY, though, she'd managed to successfully break an egg without ruining it. VICTORY! "I don't know what you guys plan on doing with your yolks, but I won't be eating mine." So, it was totally okay for her to be using this bottle (that she'd had her mouth on). If they planned to eat theirs, they might not want to...
Ahem, anyway. Uncapping the bottle, she turned it upside down, hovering the mouth bit over the orange bulge in the middle of the egg. With a careful squeeze, the yolk was pulled up into the bottle and she hadn't had to touch any of it; save for the shell.
"What do you think?" Dead clever, right?
