I meant that...<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 6pt;">mulligan?</span>"<br/><br/>Aurelie took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.  "Sorry, my words form faster than my brain can react, sometimes.  Most of the time.  New places and all that.  The crowd doesn't entirely help.  But, an opening address from Headmaster Ozpin himself is well worth a little discomfort, don't you think?"<br/><br/>She gave the boy a good sizing up after she had finished speaking.  Perhaps, part of her initial anxiety had come from his sheer size alone.  He easily towered over her, and while she had encountered plenty of larger students at Signal, it still always threw her a tiny bit to stand shoulder to shoulder with others who, in a normal situation, might have been able to crush her.  And yet, otherwise, he seemed friendly enough.  After all, he hadn't shrunk away after noticing her staring shamelessly at his odd weapon (which she still hadn't quite figured out, to her dismay.)  She gave him a more pleasant smile, extended her hand, and added, "I'm Aurelie.  And yourself?"
