SNOH
"Ladies, this is Dáire Tibba, a second iso student at Clouiths also originally from Speka," Cassiel announced her with a bit of awkwardness which made me wonder if he really wanted to introduce her in the first place.
Lunette and I both turned to the newly-identified woman anticipating what she would say; we both observed as she let go of Cassiel's sleeve in a brief motion and stepped forward, confidently as if she has done this many times prior.
"Right as my partner has stated, I hail from a city in Speka called Skoica. A pleasure to meet you lovely women." She held out her hand for a formal handshake and I automatically reached out to take it as a form of respect.
"A pleasure, I am Snoh Encre." I introduced myself in a kind manner.
She nodded, her eyes were almond-shaped and colored a mesmerizing stardust-lilac; those very eyes surveyed every ounce of my facial features, hair, and wardrobe before returning a cautious smile in return. "Encre? I've heard that name floating around the academy grounds, you're quite the person of interest at the moment." She commented with a slight smirk edging at the curve of coral-painted lips.
The Dáire woman was quick to identify her position with the mysterious Fiestran man the minute she opened her mouth, so I could tell very quickly she had a bit of a possessive nature to her; despite that revelation, she looked pretty well taken care of with her beautiful features such as her round face and soft chin.
Her skin was peachy porcelain, smooth and delicate to the touch and almost glassy in appearance by how pore-less it looked. I think the most interesting feature out of her exterior besides her eyes was her orchid-dyed hair. I think it had to be magically dyed because I didn't see many people with vibrant colored hair unless they were in the Sprite realm and well....
My special situation.
But I could be mistaken, I wasn't a natural-born Spekan so I wasn't familiar with what a common woman from that nation would typically look like that; despite that, her interesting hair fell to the middle of her shoulders in very soft waves. Almost as if she could instinctively tell that I was studying her, she removed her hand from mine and tossed her hair back over her shoulder self-consciously.
I cleared my throat, reminding myself that we were in the middle of a conversation.
"I don't really consider myself that much of interest and keep to myself. I can't really help what is said about me around the school." I said to her.
"Right." She replied with a simple head nod.
Dáire's gaze turned over to Lulu who was watching this situation play out with a curious stare, once she noticed the woman's eyes on her, she gave her a beaming smile, "Nice to meet you, Dáire. I'm Lunette Wasip, Snoh and Enid's best friend." She reached out to give her hand.
