She offered her hand as her mum had taught her, being civilized wasn't reserved for adults only. Or so her mum kept telling her. Over and over again... She smiled back, having already forgotten the spilled water.
Mariel nodded.
"Yeah, I'm addicted to their Lemondrop ice cream. Chocolate sounds good too though." Mariel loved chocolate only second best to lemondrop, but never thought to try that kind there. Lemondrop was just too good, but if it was anything like those fabulous chocolate frogs, it might be worth giving a try.
Mariel gazed at First Year Girl #2 curiously as she offered her hand. That was a first. Mariel had shaken a few adults hands when being introduced, but never had she seen an eleven year old girl offer to shake hands. Mariel shrugged and took the girl's hand. Either the girl's parents were awfully strict about manners or she was enrolled in some sort of etiquette class. Mariel smiled and said,
"Hi Patricia, I'm Mariel." Then she tilted her head as she gave a considering look at Patricia.
"Or do you like Patty?"
