Almost in unison with her movement, the tall gawky young man took a calculated half step away from the desk, though not before she got a good look at his "orbs", as she put it.
Rather perturbed, Lysander's large caterpillar eyebrows furrowed in mild distaste as the girl wondered aloud if he was aware of the size of his own eyes. "So I've been told," he responded sharply, the green eyes in question blinking in agitation behind the frames. As she suggested a spell that might provide him clear eyesight without the thick glasses, his jaw clenched in slight offense. He was irritated. "Ah, yes, the occasional migraine so I might see your overly chipper welcome in the 20/20 diamond clarity I so desire," he spoke sarcastically, revealing his surprisingly deep voice with its even tone and cadence. He had yet to speak this much, and when he did the sentences arrived evenly and quickly, on the brink of being too fast to fully hear. He answered himself: "Pass." He clearly didn't realize how rude this sounded, he just retorted as he thought. He towered slightly over her, always tall for his age, and looked at her truly. For the first time he scanned her face curiously, wondering who this girl actually was -- what gave her all of this energy and the gall to get so close to him before he learned her identity? She was obviously pretty, yet clearly lacked the common courtesy of observing personal space. Guess which one mattered more to Lysander?
"Do you have a name?"
Didn't matter that he'd taken the step back, Alexa was still at a good enough angle to see him and his large glasses and large eyes and large eyebrows and
small tolerance level. It was all rather amusing, more amusing than most everyone else she'd had a run in so far and she couldn't say she was complaining....even if he now might be internally.
AND HE'D BEEN TOLD ABOUT THEM HUGE THINGS HE SPORTED AROUND.
"Well that's a relief, not that I mind being the first to say because someone has to be first but I'd hate to think you came today unaware." Again, she persisted to lean closer, resting his wand down and beckoning him closer.
"Some people aren't all that great. They'll never say a thing when you can hear 'em but the moment you're gone they suddenly grow a tongue and polished case of opinions."
The sarcasm in his tone was overlooked. It was a minor detail and she was MAKING FRIENDS! So the guy might have looked
a little miffed and his voice might have sounded somewhat strained but that was probably him with his internal struggle of having to accept himself now that she'd told him.
"Oh it's not only so you can see ME. Dont'cha wanna be able to see other things and people too? Reckon you'd be a hoot with the ladies if you spiffied up a bit. Here, let's have a see." And without permission she fished his glasses right off his face.
A name? OH! Right. She had one of those.
"You can call me Lex." She said as she busied herself examining first his face then his lenses. Haha, really what was wand weighing even?
