If someone liked a rap? Gang member. If someone liked country? Mhm... that was hard to say, some country was good.

"Well that's nice. Thank you. And you can call me whatever you like, really. Though I do prefer Cedes because all throughout elementary school, people made honking noises whenever I passed by. Truly annoying. Don't want to relive that again," she said, smiling slightly as she shook her head. The horror. That was probably the only time that she absolutely dreaded going to school. And probably what confirmed her theories of cooties. Men became unbearably cranky and moody and mischievous when they got them. Which was why Cedes had suspected Professor Kaziman having it. He was... an interesting... person. Maybe children and elderly people were particularly vulnerable to it.

Oh. She was following her. Heh heh. Cedes wondered if the girl would notice if they climbed the stairs and all the way into the Girl's Dormitory. Probably. She forced herself to stay where she was.

And then the girl asked her a question but Cedes was slightly distracted, not enough to not know completely what the girl was asking. But Cedes was partly psychic so it wouldn't be too bad if she hadn't heard. "Oh... well if Kazimeriz was still here, I'd say... don't get stuck in a room with him. In fact, I'd just avoid him period, but thankfully he's not here anymore. We pretty much have new professors this term. All I can say is... do your homework. Attend class. Try not to get lost on the moving stairs because the name says it all. Annddd be nice to the Squid at the lake."

Arlie grinned at the girl's comment on her name. It seemed that Cedes did know that she was named after a car, and didn't really seem to care. Arlie would just have to remember not to make honking noises. That would be simple, for her. "My friends call me Arlie," Arlie amended. She'd rather not be called Arlette for the next seven years. Her brothers had dubbed her Arlie before she could walk, and there was no reason for her to be called Arlette suddenly. In fact, if too many people called her Arlette, that might actually make some of her brothers mad at her. "And I'm sorry people were insensitive about your name's origin. Cedes, and Mercedes, too, is a nice name."

But at the girl's advice, Arlie just blinked for a moment. Kazimeriz was a funny name for a professor, though the person--man?--himself didn't sound too pleasant. Doing homework and attending class, that was a given. Wasn't that what everybody did in school? And as to the stairs and the squid...Surely Cedes was just pulling her leg. Stairs didn't move. That was a preposterous idea. And there would be no squid in any lake, except maybe a salt-water lake. Weren't squids salt-water animals? So they'd be in only oceans. Not lakes.

"I'll be sure to be a good student," Arlie promised, not saying anything about the stairs or squid. She didn't want to look gullible, but she also didn't want to sound like she had no sense of humor. Sometimes silence really was best.
