 Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein
Perhaps no one she knew would have called her unusual to her face but.. expressions often showed surprise. Which she supposed wasn't always bad. Wait, he'd noticed her studying a lot? Advi wondered for a moment just how much attention to her he actually paid, a slight flush taking over her cheeks as she did so. "You probably weren't wrong. It's hard to remember to take a break with exams looming, however." Today was the first break she'd taken in weeks, and even then... this was still educational.
He was so sweet, giving full credit to his family for the person who he was. Advi did believe that often times most credit DID go to environment, but there was also freedom of choice on how one responded to the teachings they were raised in. "They sound lovely. Did you and your brother's always get along and were there plenty of spats over the year too? And.. you sell yourself short too. We're both lucky to have the childhoods we did, families who loved us. But it also takes your personality and your nature to decide how to respond. Realizing early you were lucky and using that as motivation to always do your family proud... that's really impressive, you know." She had been a good kid, but it was for the self gain of being able to continue to be on site with her family. It hadn't been FOR her parents.
"Okay, that sounds nice." She smiled back at him, before slipping her arm through his to lead the way the direction she'd pointed. It was definitely for the purpose of not losing each other in the crowd, and not at all because she was already enjoying herself with him more than she'd thought she would. (well, more than she had pre-determined she would.) "It looks like hieroglyphics might be first. Our lucky day, huh?"
