The silver-haired girl approached with hesitant steps, as if each one was a major decision.
She stopped about two paces in front of me, her small hands fidgeting with the hem of her lavender uniform skirt. Her face was beautiful with delicate features, porcelain skin contrasting with her silver hair, and large, clear purple eyes. She looked… extremely nervous.
"H-hi," she said, her voice small and melodic. "I'm… I'm Natalie. From Laventia Academy."
I looked at her, waiting. "Yeah? What is it?"
Natalie seemed to get even more nervous. Her cheeks flushed slightly. She bit her lower lip, then took a deep breath, as if steeling herself.
"I… um… actually… I…" she started, then stopped, struggling with her words. "I… I'm a huge fan of your father."
She said it quickly, and then her eyes shone with sudden enthusiasm.
