Description
  A pale, muscular girl sat on the veranda just outside the cafeteria. Her attire seemed to be a mix of ancient greek mixed with modern, and she was quietly reading a book. She had an empty plate with a faint smear of salad dressing left on it next to her, and she seemed to be having a relaxing time overall.

  Colette took an exist and walked out of the cafeteria then passed the larger lady. However the blue haired stopped dead in her tracks to think 'oh wait I remember that lady' and then she looks back again to make sure of it and soon enough she was walking back towards the other female before stopping right before her.
  Colette smiles awkwardly. "H-hello..!"

  The udeaoi girl had a faint jolt as she noticed the other girl's presence, having been caught briefly by surprise. She closed her book carefully and looked at the girl greeting her. "She seems familiar, although I don't think we've been formally introduced. Apparently going up and saying hi to strangers is commonplace here, so I'll try to be nice about that, but formal introductions first." she thought, then extending a hand towards Colette for a handshake
  "Centurion Antia Bellator of the Sixty-Second Udeaoi Legion. I believe we have previously met, or at least seen eachother at a passing glance, but have not undergone formal introductions." she said, introducing herself

  Dumbfounded the petite female stood, her mouth opened and closed to get her words out but instead she looked like a fish out of water by doing this. Immediately it hit her 'oh my lord I bet I look stupid now, I don't want to offend her--' was her first thought. So to get things straight she immediately reached out for the other female's hand with both of her own and gave a small shake.
  "Colette Brooklyn of... uh... France?" Is... is that what she is supposed to say? Why was socializing so hard? What is she missing?
  "Um, very very nice to meet you!" Her hand didn't let go, as her previous shake went down to a slow she didn't release Antia's hand, instead she kept her weak grip and stared at the larger female's face. Little would you know that Colette in her head right now is struggling to find a way to remember and memorize Antia's name. Once it clicked Colette spoke out. "Oh! Tia! Can I call you Tia? You have a pretty name!" And for some reason she shook her hand again, but a second later upon realization she quickly drew back both of her hands and chuckled awkwardly.

  Antia blushed faintly at both the compliment and because Colette continued to hold her hand for awhile. She gave the other girl a smile before responding. "Aww thanks! Very nice to meet you too Colette." she said, analyzing the other girl as she did so. 'She's so awkward, but at least she's polite and friendly. I mean... I don't really like nicknames until I get to know people better, but she's so adorable I kinda want to say yes.' she thought. "Just Antia for now please. I'm not really a fan of nicknames unless it's with people I hang out with a lot. That being said though, you seem really nice, so the potential for a yes in the future seems pretty high." she responded

  The blue haired seemed to lighten up, her face now drawn with a more relaxed expression, especially her smile which grew even bigger. She thought ' good! I didn't mess up!'
  "Antia, Antia... okay..!" Oops but she seemed to move quite forward giving her a nickname, Colette didn't think of that, but whatsoever she never wants to offend anybody so in her mind, and after the couple of 'Antia's she said out loud, she continued to repeat the name in her mind, she knows how forgetful she can get... it's so awkward that once she called Regan Alessa then started calling him ReRe. Yeah no thank you, she will get things right!
  Whatsoever Antia's further talk got Colette's hopes up, she can't hide it, Colette is very much so determined now to make friends with this person. She seemed so nice and looked so cool and oh boy--
  "I'm glad!" She said maybe only a pitch higher than her usual voice, mainly because she's very excited.
  "I come around this area usually to draw! I try to talk to my ghost friends and draw their faces, even though I really... can't see them but I try! At least they try to tell me what they used to look like..!" She immediately started to open up, smiling at the other female as she played with a lock of her own blue hair. "How about you?"

  "If it's not too cold I like to eat lunch out here. It's a pretty good place to study too. I tend to do a lot of reading, mostly studying for basic magic, but I also really like storybooks too, so I read those here sometimes too." Antia answered, indicating her empty salad plate and closed book as she spoke
  "So you talk to ghost? That sounds pretty cool actually. There aren't any haunting me are there?" Antia asked cheerfully, being actually interested, although she was joking about herself being haunted

  She listened, genuine interested obvious by the expressions she showed. And then she got asked a question, which in answer Colette chuckled and rocked back and forth on her heels. She shook her head. "No you are not haunted, from what I can sense." She answered before putting her hands back up together in a small clap. "And yeah! Or at least I TRY to talk to them, I still can't figure out though why can't they move on and away from our world." She finished, giving a small shrug.
  "Oh! But-- Do tell about yourself, please! What do you do? Or like-- what class are you in?"

  "Oh me? Well umm... let's see... I'm forty-five years old. I've basically been in the military my whole life. I like to exercise and read books. I'm really strong, well compared to most people, I'm actually pretty average for a member of my race. I'm in Basic Magic class, but despite how much I study the most I've managed magically was to turn off the light switch in my room from a few feet away, and I still had to stand relatively close for that." Antia answered
  "What about you?" she asked

  "Oh!" Once again she lightens up at the mention of the same class she attends. Colette quickly point it out by saying- "I go to basic magic class too! And... yeah I'm pretty bad!" She said it, to be blunt, but grinned afterwards.
  "You're very interesting, miss Antia, not to mention very pretty!" Maybe she wasn't thinking of what she was saying but she said it anyway, picked up the thoughts on top and spat them out. Colette though seemed to find it so normal, considering her continuous smiling.

  Antia blushed at the compliment, not sure what to say. "Oh... umm... thanks. You too!" she replied, her face slightly flushing

  Colette assumed she didn't make things awkward, she even got a thanks! Well she was saying what she was thinking put loud. She grinned.
  "It's the truth!"

  "Thanks again. I guess that's common around here... there's lots of pretty people. Like you for example! You're really cute and I love your hair!" Antia responded, still trying to figure out how to interact with this girl

  She was one of the... pretty people??? Is that for real?? Pressing her palms to her blushing cheeks Colette gave a small smile and tilted her head down in embarrassment. She found it hard to believe... but still!
  "Th-thank you...!" She replied, still smiling. She honestly didn't know what else to say, she was struggling for words to begin with and now with all the compliments it got harder.

  "You're welcome." Antia replied, giving the other girl a small smile. "Well since we're in the same class, and seem to get along, perhaps we should get together and study sometime?" she purposed

  Colette nodded her head rapidly, returning Antia's smile with a smile of her own. "I'd love that...!" she replies, chuckling afterwards, obviously liking the sound of this.

  "Awesome. Just let me know when you want to at some point. My room is floor 2, room 3. Pretty sure we're on the same floor actually. I'm usually there, the gym, or class. So just hit me up whenever." she responded

  "Oh yes yes!" Clapping her hands together she replied. "Floor 2 room 2! I'll make sure of visiting you, Je promets!" She then continued, however, she seems to freeze at the sensation of... something near. Her smile dropped but only for a moment when she moved her head to look to her left and to her right, her smile immediately tugged back on afterwards.
  "He's here...! Well, thank you so much for the chat, Antia! I won't forget you or my promise anytime soon, À bientôt for now!" She chuckled giving a small wave before skipping in her walk away from the bigger female.
