Her family had always told her she was too rash, too dramatic and her ideas could rarely be shrunk down to something that actually made sense. Or so they had said. She didn't often agree with all of the statements, but after 60 plus years of life and recklessness, while there might have been moments they had some truth. But still, she had passed the rigorous screen process for the illustrious school and she was beyond honored to be here. But she was quite certain that she would be learning just as much from the students as she would hopefully be imparting to them.

This dog was never too old to learn new things.

She watched the young girl breathe, grinning as she it seemed to do the trick and she slowly had better control of her senses. Rou remained silently while she did so though, just taking a sip of her juice in front of her while she waited.

In no time at all, the girl was speaking and seeming far more at ease than moments before. Though her shy nature certainly still was noticeable. No matter, there was nothing wrong with a reserved personality.

"I woke this morning and took a stroll around the gardens outside. It's lovely and another great way to wake up and boost your appetite." Or prepare yourself for a day of new experiences, if that was what was needed. "I have heard the same of the desserts! I have quite the sweet tooth, so I look forward to sampling more and more of their recipes. Do you like sweets as well?"

Roulan knew the girl's name, not just from the letter but also from Sorting and the class rosters, but she didn't want to make Henrietta nervous by mentioning as such. Besides, it was polite to still have an introduction when first speaking to someone directly. "Pleasure to meet you, Henrietta! Are you enjoying Hogwarts so far?"

Etta’s eyes lit up at the mention of the gardens! She had yet to venture to said gardens since she was slowly familiarizing herself with the interior of the castle. Baby steps. ”I-I still haven’t been to the gardens yet. But I want to meet them soon.” Henrietta fancied gardens and really enjoyed taking care of her plants back home. Gardening learning about Herbology (with the help of her foster grandmother’s notes) was a hobby for the youngling. It kept her grounded and sane during her time in different foster homes or the orphanage. ”Lavender is my favorite.” She pointed out, perhaps a meaningless fact but it felt nice to share.

Etta’s lips folded into a sheepish and amused smile followed by a soft giggle at the mention of the Professor’s sweet tooth. ”I do.” She nodded. ”I like black licorice the most!...I guess it’s not very sweet. But once you get past the bitterness I think they are.” Speaking from her experience black licorice was delicious!

Etta found herself feeling a bit more comfortable speaking with Professor Liu, she wasn't as scary or intimidating as she perceived the professors to be. Another bashful smile formed on the youngling’s face as she gave Professor Liu a nod. ”I-It’s been good so far. My dorm mates have been very kind to me.” She has been lucky so far. No one’s been verbally mean or pulled her hair so she sees it as a win. ”How about you professor? Etta asked.
