Dt10: Chocolat

[Violet Salu]

Violet sat down at a table with her lunch, saying grace before she started to eat.

[Paul Valmont]

Let's see... where to sit... ooh, this could be promising.

Paul put on his best winning smile as he walked up to the table. "Hi," he said. "Is anyone else sitting here?"

[Violet Salu]

"No one at all," Violet says cheerfully, "Go ahead and take a seat if ya want."

[Paul Valmont]

"Thanks," he said, smiling at her as he took a seat. Let's see... made of stone, but that doesn't always mean anything... cute face, hard to tell on the body but looks nice from here... yeah, this could be a good day. "Sorry, I'm new here. Didn't want to bother you if you had friends coming. I'm Paul," he said.

[Violet Salu]

"I'm Violet," Violet says, "It's good to meet you, Paul."

"And don't worry, I'm pretty new myself."

[Paul Valmont]

"Violet," he said, " That's a pretty name. It suits you." He gave her a winning smile before picking up his pizza.

[Violet Salu]

"I hope so," Violet says, "It's the only one I have."

[Paul Valmont]

He chuckled. "Well, at least I'm not the only new one. The whole 'making new friends' thing is... kind of intimidating," he 'admitted,' sighing a little. "Easier when I'm not the only one, y'know?"

[Violet Salu]

"Aw, poor dear," Violet says, "Making friends is easy. Just smile a lot and say 'hi' to everyone!"

[Paul Valmont]

Paul chuckled. "How am I doing so far?" he half-joked.

[Violet Salu]

"Pretty well," Violet says, "A little awkward, but you'll get there!"

[Paul Valmont]

"Well, that's reassuring," he admitted. "'Course, you seem easy to talk to, so that's probably helping."

[Violet Salu]

"I try my best to be positive and friendly to everyone," Violet says, "So, are you enjoying it here so far?"

[Paul Valmont]

"I think so," he said. "It's a lot different from what I'm used to, but that's okay."

[Violet Salu]

"Where are ya from?"

[Ryan Gabriel]

"Minnesota," he told her. "Just a little town, nothing special. I've been at the Massachusetts Academy for the past year and a half, but... my parents decided to pull me out of there. They weren't getting along with the Headmistress too well."

[Violet Salu]

"Oh, hey another Viking, eh?" Violet says excitedly, "Yeah, it's a bit different from back home, isn't it?"

[Paul Valmont]

"Oh, you're from Minnesota, too?" he said, a little surprised. "Yeah... totally different. I... haven't been back home much since then. Just... well, there always seems to be too much else to see, you know?"

[Violet Salu]

"I dunno about all that," Violet says, "But it is pretty nice around here. Food's good and everyone's pretty friendly."
