Must have been the artisit in her. He stood up and grinned over at her as she approached their table. "There she is," he said, moving around the table so that he could give her a hello hug. She even smelled good, sheesh. "Thank you. You look really pretty." Very much so. Anyway - her chair. He should pull her chair out for her. Yes. So he did that for the princess.
"No trouble making it here?" No fiascos with Astrea's date or hairballs from Prince Charlie?
Junia had decided that hello hugs were her absolute favorite thing as she hugged back tightly. Only for a moment, though. Just enough time to notice that he, too, smelled really nice and that his arms were strong, which she appreciated. Yeah, strong arms were perfect for a knight. She might've looked a bit sheepish as she pulled away, his compliment swirling around in her brain. Hellooooo ego boost.
"Thanks!" She'd wanted to look a bit fancier as this was a special occasion and it seemed she'd managed just that.
The third year shrugged off her coat and set it over the back of her seat before sitting down and smoothing her skirt. She liked that Sam was being a gentleman and was taking mental notes so that she could tell Astrea and Rula allll about their date later.
"Only trouble was figuring out what to wear," Junia admitted.
"'M not really sure I'm supposed to tell you that, but it's true. It took ages and I was trying to remember what colors you might like because then it'd show I was thinking about you, only the blue skirt got fur balls on it and then...well, I settled on this. You weren't waiting for ages, were you?"
