Oh? Huh?
Torii was sort of taken by surprise that somebody was talking to her. Why? She didn't know. She hadn't met that many people at Hogwarts, though, and it still sort of startled her to be meeting strangers at her school. She missed the way she knew almost everybody at Ilvermorny. She drew in a deep breath and it out slowly. She had to quit dwelling on her move. She had to, but she didn't know how.
Looking over, Torii noticed the Head Boy badge on the boy that had talked to her. So he was the Head Boy, hmm? Now she wasn't sure if he'd asked her to join him as a friendly gesture, or if he was just obligated to do so. Either way, roasting marshmallows did sound good.
"Yeah, sure," she said.
"I'm Torii, by the way."
The others were walking up and greeting the group as a whole, so Torii decided to move past her awkwardness and try to do the same.
"Hey, everybody," she said, speaking to the group this time.

Only this time she wasn’t sneaking up on unsuspecting runners. “hey, it’s nice of you not jumping out of nowhere on me this time” and playful smile on his face. “How’s your first week been?”
...and then there was another boy voice talking to her, but this time, it was somebody she actually already knew. Well, she knew
of him. She didn't know if him tripping over the bench she was sitting on and insulting her knowledge of jogging qualified as them knowing each other. Either way, she knew he was
Ewan, and she seemed to remember her, too. She laughed.
"Oh, well, you know, I considered jumping out of nowhere just for you, but roasting marshmallows was just too good to pass up," she replied. How had her first week been? She wasn't sure he wanted the real answer to that question. She was sure she would disappoint a whole lot of people if they knew how bitter she was. So instead, she just shrugged.
"It was alright."
