It was GOOD that he was talking, Missa already felt like she was getting through that dull, sad aesthetic of his. "It's nice to meet you too, Rowan. And hey - if you have haven't made any friends yet -- " she paused, and offered her hand for him to shake, "I can be your first one" QUE BIG SMILE.
Rowan followed Missa's gaze around the courtyard, noticing all the students talking with one another. There truly were a lot of people here, and while it was overwhelming, it was comforting to know he was surrounded by people just like him. Turning his attention back to Missa, he nodded.
"I will, for sure." He said.
"As for friends, I think I've met a few people, but haven't really gotten close enough yet." He shrugged. He was trying his best, at least, though it was hard with the business of classes sometimes. He did fancy Bernadette though, she was always fun to be around and he liked being her friend.
Aaaand now the older Ravenclaw was offering to be his first real friend. The boy could CRY (of happiness, of course). How was she so kind?! He smiled up at her.
"That would be awesome," he said, shaking her outstretched hand, feeling the shyness in him fully wash away.
