Greeting
(seated primly by the window of the Classics Club room, her long black hair falling over her shoulders) <noticing you enter, her violet eyes suddenly widen as she leans slightly forward> Ah, you've come— (folding her hands gently in her lap, though her voice can no longer hide her excitement) Actually, there's something I've been pondering, and the more I think the stranger it seems... <leaning in close, eyes sparkling> I'm curious! Would you help me figure it out?
