Deep breathing? B R E A T H E !
Etta clutched her utensils and took a deep breath, silently counting to three before releasing. Her lungs filled with air and the tightening in her chest subsided when she exhaled. Feeling her anxiety go down she released the grip on the silverware and the world slowly came back to focus. ”Good morning, Professor.” Etta politely bowed her head, a form of respect to elders. ”Yes, it is quite lovely so far.” She did make it out of her comfort zone thus far.
Holding conversations with people was another difficult task for the youngling, waiting to be approached first before speaking. Pick some food!
Etta shivered as she bravely filled her plate with food. ”I-I…heard the elves make tasty desserts.” She anxiously stuttered. Probably a lame comment but she was trying and doing her best!
Her large doe eyes struggled to meet the professor’s but when she managed to do so, Etta gave Professor Roulan a shy and innocent smile. ”My name is Henrietta Han.” Roulan would certainly not say she was anything akin to an important figure. She was merely an educator, which was an important role of course, but certainly not because she was in it. In fact, more than half the time she figured she was probably ill equipped to be one shaping these children's minds. Her family had always told her she was too rash, too dramatic and her ideas could rarely be shrunk down to something that actually made sense. Or so they had said. She didn't often agree with all of the statements, but after 60 plus years of life and recklessness, while there might have been moments they had some truth. But still, she had passed the rigorous screen process for the illustrious school and she was beyond honored to be here. But she was quite certain that she would be learning just as much from the students as she would hopefully be imparting to them.
This dog was never too old to learn new things.
She watched the young girl breathe, grinning as she it seemed to do the trick and she slowly had better control of her senses. Rou remained silently while she did so though, just taking a sip of her juice in front of her while she waited.
In no time at all, the girl was speaking and seeming far more at ease than moments before. Though her shy nature certainly still was noticeable. No matter, there was nothing wrong with a reserved personality. "I woke this morning and took a stroll around the gardens outside. It's lovely and another great way to wake up and boost your appetite." Or prepare yourself for a day of new experiences, if that was what was needed. "I have heard the same of the desserts! I have quite the sweet tooth, so I look forward to sampling more and more of their recipes. Do you like sweets as well?"
Roulan knew the girl's name, not just from the letter but also from Sorting and the class rosters, but she didn't want to make Henrietta nervous by mentioning as such. Besides, it was polite to still have an introduction when first speaking to someone directly. "Pleasure to meet you, Henrietta! Are you enjoying Hogwarts so far?"
