Katie politely shook hands with Lauren, introducing herself directly there as well.  After the feel of a paw in her hand, and the soft fur against her palm, shaking hands with a normal hand was both a little strange feeling, and a wonderful comforting normality.  Everything about Liberty was just so strangely juxtaposed.  She acted<em>just</em>like every other teenager Katie had met at private schools, but she had fur everywhere, and a snout!  Free of hands to shake, Katie simply stood, nodded politely, and fidgeted with her skirt.  A glance at Lauren when the rooms were offered, and Katie shrugged, planning to pick whichever one was left after Lauren had her choice.  Of course, if she didn't pick one, then Katie would pick the one closer to Liberty.<br/><br/>Of course, thoughts of rooms and whatnot got rather rapidly derailed by the mention of food.  She hadn't eaten anything but the little packets of salted nuts on the flights in well over twelve hours, and when food was mentioned, Katie's stomach decided to voice its protest.  Almost immediately, Katie blushed, and clutched her hands over her stomach, following Liberty and finally muscling up enough courage to talk.  "I think something to eat might be a good idea.  You sure do have a lot.  Umm... I noticed in the information pamphlets that we have to pay for things here?"<br/><br/>She glanced idly about her roomie's bedroom, noticing the prevalence of Doctor Who stuff, and the neatness which she kept everything.  When the hoards of food, and even junk food started sort of appearing, Katie couldn't help but glance once again at Liberty.  She was pretty darned fit looking.  If Katie had eaten all of that, she'd have been like five hundred pounds in a week.  "Umm... how do you... you know... stay so thin with all that food?"
