Alastor :Well, now, this certainly won't do. A frown doesn't suit a young lady such as yourself. A smile would be much more fitting, don't you agree? No matter. Here, take this.

Nikki:Thank you.

Alastor:no issue, my dear. Tell me, though, what could possibly darken such a joyous face?

Nikki: Sorry. It's been a long day. I'm a very long way from home, and I don't feel like I belong here. I'm scared, and all my friends are still back home. I'm alone, and I don't really know anyone here.

Alastor offers a hand to shake it:name is Alastor A pleasure to be meeting you. Quite the pleasure. There. Now you know at least one more person here.

Nikki smiles a little: I guess you're right. I'm nikki nikki Seracum. It's a pleasure to meet you, too,

Alastor:. There's that smile. There's that smile. There's that smile.
