</div>Almeda initially thought to tell this gawking, pale-haired intruder to leave, but Sean beat her to it. "You're not welcome-" he began to proclaim with a sneer, but then the girl seated herself anyway. Almeda's own owl, a gray horned owl named Sorrel, seated in a large gold cage that seemed to have a miniature tree growing inside it, gave a rumbly hoot at the intruder and her barn owl, before turning away, as of this distraction wasn't worth her attention.<br/><br/>"We don't care about your feet. How about you take them and-" ah, dutiful Sean, just trying to help, and being a complete boor about it. But the young lady had already seated and introduced herself, putting a hand forward. Blesk, her name was. Almeda took a moment before responding. Blesk was clearly not a first year, and was in fact in Ravenclaw. Almeda had never seen her - white hair and pink eyes seemed to be the sort of thing you'd see around. And that stare she had given Almeda as she entered hadn't involved any particular recognition. Though she had picked up on some fascination. The girl was rather striking herself. Sean had even been staring before catching himself.<br/><br/>"I am Almeda Hohenzollern Beauharnois Williams-Torriani of Valupa, from House Aurum Tywyllwch. Almeda Williams-Torriani most of the time." Almeda set down the puzzle cube, extended a black lace-gloved hand, and shook Blesk's, introducing herself in a practiced manner. Professional, polite, and possibly just a bit bored. Beside her, Sean puffed up his chest, and lowered his arm to curl around Almeda's waist. A casual-looking - but clearly trying too hard - smirk and a narrowing of the eyes accompanied his snarky tone. "Sean Karassone. Name's not as long, sorry. And you, Bleskie, are on the wrong part of the train."<br/><br/>Deciding to not put her arm around Sean and return the gesture, Almeda simply flitted her eyes over to him. Subtle, but enough to convey a suitable amount of irritation. Beyond him, she could see a few students throwing glances inside the compartment as they passed. Clearly, whomever Almeda had invited into her compartment had to be important, or interesting, or otherwise significant, right? Almeda let her eyes travel back to the girl in front of her. "Have a seat." She had zero qualms overriding her boyfriend's will or contradicting his words. It served as a reminder of who was actually in charge, and who was the disposable one. "You seem new, if you wandered here. But clearly, you're in Ravenclaw."<br/><br/>She shrugged and went back to her puzzle box. "We're a few hours out. Make yourself at home."<br/><br/>Sean just rolled his eyes and glared at Blesk, pulling Almeda closer.
