Gemma kept that blank smile on her face as the man spoke back to her. She could tell from his expression that she was not making a good first impression. She was really hoping for a 'she shots and she scores' but she knew right now it was more like a 'she shots and Airball!' She forced herself to not roll her eyes, not at him of course that would not be the solution to the situation, but more at her own shortcoming.

She let out a small breath that she hadn't realized she was holding as he smiled back at her, "I honestly like to think that we have a little bit of every house inside of us....it's just that some people are more willing to see all of the parts than others." she said in a very calm, yet soothing voice, "And only a few select of those embrace each of those parts as equals." yes that was deep thoughts by Gemma, but in her head it made sense.

She paused as she saw him stand up and head towards the podium and make the opening feast. She smiled out at the crowd as he mentioned the new staff...yes that was her and she was proud of that distinction. She turned back to the Headmaster and listened.

Yes he had mentioned the mysterious ship from day one. This made her History heart flutter with excitement and anticipation. She couldn't wait for them to be able to explore the ship. She was highly interested in the story behind it. As she thought about all of the wonderful stories and historical value of the ship, the food appeared on the table and it was only then that she heard her stomach growling and realized that she hadn't eaten all day.
