They were giggling. Merlin, why where they giggling? Paris' cheeks flushed automatically and his eyes averted nervously when they whispered with each other. He distracted himself with ruffling his hair more and messing with his hat until he was being spoken to again, not too confident about this meeting. "That's a nice name.... do you have a shorter one?" It was pretty - like her - but he wasn't going to be able to remember two separate ones, so maybe she wouldn't mind him using just one. "Hey, Sophie." She had an air of familiarity to her, but he couldn't place her and was too nervous to think much about it.
Shaking his head, he smiled a bit sheepishly. "No, it's huh.... hard to get around here. Still figuring the place out. You guys like hanging out here?" Was that why they picked it? Quote:

She wasn't about to make this super awkward. Maybe he'd remember? Or maybe Soph would pipe up and ask. Or something. Eh. Was it really that important? Decidedly, she was going to call him PB for now. Pretty boy. But maybe not to his face. Hm.
Still leaning against the banner, and possibly trying to seem a lot cooler than she was, Coral nodded at the boys words. "Well, I go by CB a lot. Or Coral. But you can call me whatever you like. I'll answer to just about anything." As long as it was sorta like her name or a super cute nickname. Preferably not Thing Two. Which was what Casper Duluth had dubbed her. That was not going to fly.
She raised a finger to her chin in thought, "Y'know, I bet I could make you a map. Highlight all the best places that way you won't get too lost." She could color code it and try her hand at making something more boy-like because she highly doubted he'd want it to be all pink and frilly. "Umm..." she glanced at Sophie. "Not together? I kinda like the idea of starting off the term here, which is what I did last term. But it's also got a nice view and I dunno.. it's just a nice place to view the grounds if you're not too familiar with them."
Whattaya think, Soph? All of the boy's shuffling and fidgeting was sort of endearing - his bashfulness reminded her of someone, but she couldn't quite place her finger on who it was - and she just grinned, looking back and forth between her dormmate and their new friend.
Friend, right?
On the subject of maps, Soph raised a finger to chime in, "Or we can take you on a grand tour. Show ya all the places. We can be, like, your tour guides, and we'll make it so fun to see everything that you couldn't possibly forget where we went and how we got there 'cause you'll have the memories of hangin' out with us." She was offering them both up - in the most obvious way she could without coming right out and saying it - to be his new cool friends.
Sophie, who avoided hanging out on this bridge after one foul interaction with one Cutty Mordaunt, just shook her head at the inquiry of whether she hung out there a lot or not. "Just run through here on my morning runs." Sometimes. Depended on how she felt.
WHY DID THIS GUY LOOK SO FAMILIAR? "What's your name?"
