No matter how many classes she took or how many times Kurumi spoke to the woman, the little lioness always felt like she was going to collapse due to wobbling knees. Sure, the woman was brilliant, but she was also terrifying. "No statement has even been more true," she nodded, a nervous smile drawn across her lips.
Kurumi blushed, even if he hadn't meant his statement as a compliment. "I am sure you don't stutter as much as I do around meeting new people," she said with a soft giggle. "Besides, you seem plenty nice yourself. I don't imagine many people dislike you."
Adam supposed that maybe it would be a good idea to go and introduce himself to all the Professors, just so he could get a feel for them, but he had been so busy wandering around the castle just trying to get acquainted with everything that he wasn't really sure when he was going to have the time. From what he had heard though Professor Lafay, the Potions Professor was definitely someone that he should avoid at all costs.
"I haven't gotten around to introducing myself to all the professors, but I hear Professor Lafay is kind of frightening," Adam said with a little frown. After all she had been the most sour looking professor at the staff table when Louisa was pointing out the professors to him.
Adam noticed that Kurumi's cheeks had blushed at his compliment. Well...it seemed like she was just as modest as him, and if Adam was able to blush he probably would have blushed right then as well.
"I may not stutter but that doesn't mean I'm not collapsing from nerves on the inside," Adam said with a laugh before giving Kurumi another smile.
"And..um...thank you." Adam knew there were some people out there that were not a particularly big fan of him, but he figured that as long as he didn't focus on them, maybe they wouldn't be as noticeable.
