Dastan wasn't particularly good at getting to know new people. Sure, that was his new goal here at Hogwarts, but he wasn't sure how he was actually going to do it. So far, he'd taken to wandering the hallways and running into people (which had gotten him into a few interesting conversations, but not really anything solid), and then the other day he sat next to Gwen in the Great Hall. At least that one actually seemed to work.
So now he was standing on the second floor in between classes, apparently. Hogwarts students were darting here and there as they made their way to the next class and Dastan just ended up standing in a corner as he watched them all move. Out of the corner of his eye he saw something different- he wasn't sure what it was exactly. Turning, he realized it was a girl. An ordinary girl, it wasn't like she was doing anything, but something seemed different about her, off in a way.
Before he really knew what he was doing, Dastan approached the girl. "Hello, my name is Dastan," he said in a bright voice. "Who are you?" Sure, it wasn't very suave, but that had never been Dastan's approach. He was better at being direct.

Janae was confused... again. The pain from her body overcoming her mind. What was she doing again? The curse Xavier had put on her had confused the nurses. Nobody seemed to know how to take care of these horrible boils covering Janae's body. She had spent the night under a nurses care but this morning they had decided the only thing they could do was wait till her body had time to fight through it. She had painfully walked back to her room with people stopping and starring. The pain made her care less about the stares. After feeling sorry for herself for awhile she did her best to cover what was on her face well enough with makeup that it wasn't as obvious. She needed to keep working. She couldn't let that horrible boy ruin what she was doing.
Remembering she needed to get back to the library she she almost didn't hear the question coming from right in front of her. She flinched expecting something bad to happen again. But as she focused she looked at a guy smiling at her expectantly. Ducking her head down suddenly embarrassed by how terrible she must look. Did he notice and was just being nice or maybe he hadn't noticed yet. "Um what was that?" Janae said raising her hand to her face.

She looked so confused and ... in pain? Was that even possible? From the second glance he had at her face, he figured something was wrong because it didn't look right, but he didn't really get a chance to get a good look, and assumed she probably wouldn't want him to. Dastan wasn't really sure, but she looked like she needed someone to be there for her, so he thought he could try and help, if she would let him. He smiled again, even though she wasn't looking at him. "I said my name is Dastan. What is yours?" He repeated in a low voice, his eyes narrowing when she raised her hand to her face. Was she trying to hide something or was she self-conscious about something. "Are you all right?" He asked in concern. Not that he should be concerned for her, a stranger, but he was. Why did she look so nervous and scared?

Of course some random guy wanted to talk to her now of all times. He was cute too... What was she thinking? She didn't even know this guy. Her shyness and embarrassment was almost overwhelming her and she tried to look somewhat relaxed. "Oh, um, yeah I am doing ok." With her hand still hovering over the lower part of her face she tried to smile with her eyes. But it felt more like a painful grimace. "My name is Janae." She glanced around wondering if there was a way she could get herself out of this situation without making this Dastan guy feel bad.

She looked like the type of girl that was generally shy, but something else was wrong with this picture. Her hand was covering part of her face and she looked terrified. He didn't want to argue with her and tell her that she wasn't all right, but he didn't believe her either. It also looked like she was searching for a way to escape. Was she scared of him or of someone else? Dastan glanced around quickly, searching nearby faces to see if anyone was angry at her, but no one was even looking at the two of them. Still, that didn't mean someone wasn't waiting for her to be alone. There had to be some reason why she was so scared. "Are you going somewhere, Janae? I'm sorry, I stopped you. I could walk with you ..." he trailed off, not even knowing why he was doing this. He didn't even know the girl, and she hadn't even asked him to help her. Maybe it was him she was afraid of. Still, he would try to help, if he could.

Janae was quite a bit shocked by this guy. He must know more of what was going on with her. Had he seen Xavier put the hex on her? He seemed concerned. Which kind of felt nice. He was offering to walk with her which actually sounded good. Most of the time she liked to do things on her own but she was really nervous about going back to the library by herself. "Um.. Actually that would be really great. I am headed to the library." Just saying that made her break out in a sweat. She shouldn't be this nervous. He was being nice. Why did she have to have the courage to talk back to a jerk but not talk with someone who seemed nice. Maybe this way she could find out why he was helping her. People don't usually do that kind of a thing without an incentive.

Poor girl. Whatever was going on with her had her terrified. Dastan waited for her to answer, wondering if maybe he should just leave so she didn't have to worry about answering him. Then again, that would probably seem quite rude, and he didn't want to be rude. So he stood there patiently. He blinked in surprise, not expecting it when she told him that she was going to the library and said she wouldn't mind him coming with her. He tried to cover his surprise with an easy smile, "Awesome. I've never actually been inside your library before," he commented, mostly just trying to help her feel more comfortable. "So do you need to do schoolwork in there or ..." he trailed off, curious about the girl in front of him. Was she one of the girls that was more studious like him (the type of person that would go to the library for fun) or did she just have homework to do?
