SPOILER!!: Etta!

It wasn't long until Roulan noticed the young snake enter the Great Hall, and as she sipped at her tea and nibbled on her biscuit she observed the youngling seeming to be experiencing a lot of anxiety as she had the first night. Poor dear. New experiences and places could certainly be difficult to adjust to, even more so if there was no one here she had known previously like the letter she'd received had seemed to suggest. She continued to observe, quietly, as she also chatted with others. She tried to be as discreet as possible in her observation as well, certainly not wanting to embarrass the girl.

Not that being nervous or adjusting was anything to be embarrassed about, but she vaguely knew what kids could be like in their feelings.

Roulan took her time finishing her biscuit, and once completed she turned her attention again - a bit more fully this time - towards the young girl who had found her seat. Seeing that she was likewise looking Rou's way, she gave a warm smile before excusing herself and moving a bit further down the table - sliding then into the seat across from her.

"Good morning! It's a lovely start to the day so far, isn't it? I must say the elves delectable cooking is already my favorite part of the castle. Though, I find a need to take a good moment of deep breathing to really prepare my stomach to indulge in everything I want to try." It was subtle, and perhaps could have been missed, but she was attempting to discreetly push the girl's thought towards breathing and controlling it. That would certainly help with any rising panic.

She embarrassed herself after having a panic attack right before she even made it to the table, surprisingly a housemate was kind enough to help her and introduce her to the fellow Slythies nearby. Etta struggled with social situations and feared unknown faces. So much so, she had been eating meals by herself in isolated places. There were only a few areas in the castle she felt safe so far. The girl’s dormitory being the main, she had kind housemates so far. But living in her shell of comfort was very lonely. So Henriette picked today to be the day she would enter the hall and sit to have a meal even with housemates nearby. Okay. Okay. Okay. Etta, wringing her hands, took a DEEP breath and shivered as she stood at the entrance and surveyed the setting. One slow step after another the young girl approached the table. Her face paled and her sweat turned cold, pausing as she took another deep breath and marched. Good. Good. Good. Etta quickly slid onto the seat and felt her chest tighten! Closing her eyes she took several more deep breaths and with shaking hands, she reached for eating utensils. The hardest part, making it inside the hall and sitting down, was done. Now, to fill her plate with delectables. Her stomach was rumbling! But as she filled her plate it didn’t escape her notice that a professor was here! And she was mingling with housemates nearby. Introduce yourself! She was mentally pushing herself. She really wanted to introduce herself to Professor Roulan Liu, but her jaw clenched shut from the sudden anxiety. Oh no….
