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?"

Patricia's smile widened, "I don't mind being called Patty at all, Mariel. I love your name, sounds almost french somehow." she said with a grin, shaking the girl's hand briefly but solidly. Patricia had noticed that Mariel's expression had changed a bit when she had offered her hand. Didn't anyone shake hands anymore? She felt suddenly a bit self-conscious about her friendly gesture. Oh snap! she thought nervously, hoping she hadn't done something wrong on her first day here.

Hoping to get over her possible faux-pas, she decided to move the conversation along. "Is this your first year here?" she asked with genuine curiosity.
