"As a matter of fact, no, I don't have a partner yet," she said when she got nearer. "We've missed you on the pitch," she added idly, before slipping into a seat. "Trying to avoid someone?"
Nia smiled as she saw her team mate head towards her, parchment and bag in tow. "Cool, I'd be honoured to partner you, in that case," Nia said with a smile - glad she had someone she knew as a partner. It'd make things easier, whatever they would be doing with parchments and favourite animals. And Nia now had a distinct feeling she'd made a bit of an awkward choice. She hoped Elizabeth wouldn't have to guess what she'd chosen or something, as it wasn't the most obvious creature to try and describe.
"Missed me?" Nia asked, honoured that Elizabeth had said so. She looked up to all the older members of the team. "You've been doing pretty well without me though..." she added, tipping her head sideways thoughtfully. She was only a reserve afterall. "As for avoiding someone...who in particular did you have in mind?"
