text, un: trenton

[inshallah]

I haven't been doing very well at being social since I came here. It's admittedly no one's fault but my own. I've always been the quiet sort, studious and the like. I focused very much on school before ...

Well, I was part of a hacker group that caused a lot of trouble. But even then, it was a different sort of situation to be in.

I guess, I'm going the long way to ask a very simple thing.

Would anyone want to go to coffee or something? I would like to get to know more people better.

[ She has no idea who to expect — to be honest, she wasn't even sure of the gender. trenton as a username could be anyone. But the glancing and looking around to see who else is here, that's her cue.

So Felicity raises her hand and waves by wriggling her fingers. When they make eye contact, she tilts her head to the side a little, as if to say, "Hey, it's me I'm here! You know, if you happen to be looking for someone." And when Trenton gets close enough, making it clear that yes, she is looking for someone, Felicity stands, ducks her head slightly and asks: ]

Hey I'm Felicity. Are you ... Trenton?

[inshallah]

[ Trenton instantly catches the movements and a small and a bit shy smile touches her lips as closes the little distance there is left with a nod. ]

Yes, sorry I'm late. [ She's not sure if she actually is but it comes out instinctively as she offers her hand for a handshake -- belatedly realizing that's probably weird but it is too late to back out of the motion now. ]

[ The handshake is totally happening. But the encounter isn't awkward or weird. In fact, all things considered, Felicity's pretty good at shaking hands. ]

Oh no- [ She starts, as they shake. ] You're right on time. Especially since I think I said 4-ish. Do you want a coffee? [ She motions over to the counter. If Trenton does, she's happy to keep sipping her own and waiting until she comes back. ]
