He raised a brow when she started to blush, "But you are brave!" he insisted, totally missing the modesty part of her tone. "You shouldnt be selling yourself short just because you're.... uhh.... " he trailed off. See? Subtle.
He tried shifting gears, because he sure didnt want to end up with a Cello on his head "You can play the piano too? And American neighbors? That's cool! Where you from by the way?"
Ari dipped her head in greeting, angling her head towards him as he leaned against the wall again.
"I find that people overlook me because they don't know what to say. They don't know how to handle it or something. I don't mind." Why should she? It started with her parents.
"Blind, Mister Salander," she finished his sentence. Ari reached up a hand and pulled her glasses out from in front of her eyes. She probably should have waited, but it just kind of happened. If the light was well enough, he would be abe to see that Ari had bright green eyes underneath a thick, milky veil. She blinked towards him a few times.
"I've always been blind," she stated matter-of-factly as she pushed them back into place.
Awkward pause.
"I know my way around one, but my cello is what I'm best at. My whole family is from Ireland, but I was the first one of them to be born in England--but my American neighbors are the ones I spent the most time with, so... My accent, I guess, is BritMerIsh," she laughed, making sure her glasses didn't bounce off her nose.

"Yeah they do," Daisy said smiling. "I'm Daisy by the way. Third year." She held out her hand to the girl.
"Arienna Malone. Sixth year Ravenclaw." Ari held out her hand, only to encounter Daisy's. Taking a breath to avoid the blush, she moved her hand to the side to properly grasp the girl's hand.
She gestured between the three of them.
"Daisy, Salander; Salander, Daisy; Ari, Daisy; Daisy, Ari; Ari, Salander; Salander, Ari; Daisy, Ari, Salander."
