"Well, they sound friendly enough. Haven't met Ravenclaw's prefects though." That seemd a bit intimidating. Mariel wondered if they'd be so friendly to offer help with homework or - groan - offer dating advice.

"NO!" Bree responded immediately. "I don't date. Boys are just, you know, boys. They aren't boyfriends or friends or anything..." she paused "...yet." she finished almost to herself. After meeting Raiden she'd realized that perhaps boys weren't so plague-ridden as had been presented to her before.

"Well maybe you'll get lucky and yours won't offer you dating advice," she joked. She was calmer now. The argument seemed to have died down.

"Nice to meet you, Bree!" he said brightly. His attention then diverted to Kingston Wendleworth, and he took his hand back from Bree so as to not bother Daphne Hopton with his arm's presence. His smile faded a bit, and he looked unsurely down the table to where Cale and Anna were talking to that Jason guy. "I'm alright, just a little con-"

And then that Jason guy... had somehow heard Raiden's soft-spoken words from all the way over there! How had he done that? Did he have some sort of magical hearing aid that he could turn up so as to hear everyone talking? Raiden's jaw dropped at the boy's sharp words. He claimed that he treated his friends and family with respect, but... he had just met Raiden and Bree and Daphne Hopton, and he was being really rude to them... And silly little Raiden let that thought out.

"But... you're not being nice to people you've just met," he said softly, wondering if the older boy's super-hearing would pick it up. "Even if you're nice to your friends and family, that doesn't mean you're not being mean to us... you were glaring at Bree, and you weren't being polite to Daphne Hopton...and you were short with Kingston Wendleworth, too."

And then Daphne Hopton had her hand on his shoulder and was speaking... Intimidated? Didn't that word mean he was sort of... frightened of the older boy? Raiden was irked by him, for sure, especially now... but frightened? He didn't seem all that scary.

"Intimidated?" he whispered, his words barely audible. "That might not be the right word, Daphne Hopton... Doesn't intimidated mean he's sort of frightening me? I'm not afraid of him..."

This boy rather seemed to like surnames. Bree decided to offer hers too. "Also...also my surname is Finchley. I'm Bree Finchley." she said slowly. She didn't have a chance to shake his offered hand because he immediately had to withdraw it to talk to Kingston Wendleworth. Bree was intrigued by his upper-class airs that seemed so like Daphne's.

She wasn't as refined herself. Just an average middle-class girl. Schooled on state funds. Her brother probably knew many people like Kingston now, seeing as he went to Cambridge. Without her. Whenever he came back he'd seemed slightly different. Sometimes she felt like he kept playing musical chairs with all of the people who looked like him but were very different personality-wise. She frowned.

"Alright, enough, ALL OF YOU!" he exclaimed, standing up and glaring down at everyone in the general area. "From what I've just witnessed within the past few minutes, I have to say I'm completely apalled. It's just plain rude to gossip about people in front of their faces, and all this arguing here is pointless and isn't getting anyone anywhere, it's just making the situation worse. If you've come here just to cause drama you can go back to your own tables," he addressed the people who were not Gryffindors. "And for those of you stuck at this table here--one more rude or sarcastic comment out of any of you and I'm getting a professor faster than you can blink." he told them.

And he had heard rumours that he wasn't a tough prefect. HA.

He sat down with a sigh and turned to Daphne, Jason, and Bree. "Whatever started this whole fight was, as already mentioned, probably a complete misunderstanding. However, this is no reason to continue the fight once it's started. Explain it was a misunderstanding, and that should be the end of it. We're all in the same house and we all have to try and get along with each other. If everyone is being nice to each other, I see no reason to be rude or impolite in return, right?" he asked. "One thing you have to understand about me is that I detest rudeness with a passion. And I won't stand to have any of it in Gryffindor. Ok? I really don't like yelling like that but...if we're already all fighting on the first day of term, and we haven't even started classes, how can we possibly make it through the year without killing each other?" he asked, frowning and wrinkling his eyebrows.

ooc: Ok, that was a little harsh, but you get my point, right? Whether it's part of your character's personality or not, there is just no excuse for being plain out rude and arguing like that. Kay thanks :]

Then she jumped again as Cale spoke up, yelling for the entire table to hear. She could feel the burning shame on her cheeks. She hadn't meant to 'cause such a fuss. Usually she wasn't like this. The entire day had consisted of her not behaving as she usually would. This school was bringing out the worst in her on the very first day.

Perhaps just avoiding Jason from now on and sticking with those she already knew would keep her out of trouble. She felt like going to bed now, her hunger entirely forgotten. She was exhausted from the excitement of the day. She nibbled quietly at her pork trying not to draw any attention.
