[Look at those pretty quills and brushes!! Too bad they're all up on the top shelf, out of the reach of this petite firsty. She hasn't given up trying as she stretches her hand upwards as much as she can, but she's still nowhere near the top shelf. Frustrated, she did a little hop, and then a second, in hopes that the extra boost will be enough.

All Ib gets for her troubles is thin air. She pulls a face, but keeps on trying.]

[gemuetlichkeit]

_{[Oh, that's actually... kind of cute. A quick glance reveals what she's looking for so he reaches up and grabs the container for her.]}

Ah... here.

[remembertheroses]

[This boy is tall. Ludwig is practically looming over her, and his height and body stature does intimidate Ib a little. However, the container of supplies is happily accepted, and Ib bobs her head slightly at him.]

Thank you very much.

[His accent is different from the British ones she's hearing, yet familiar...she might've heard, or rather read, someone who had a similar accent over the journals.]

Are you German?

[Her own accent gives her away as Japanese; her English is slightly slow as well.]

[gemuetlichkeit]

You're welcome.

_{[Her question kind of surprises him, but he nods.]}

Yes. I'm from Berlin. What about you?

_{[He doesn't want to assume; deciphering accents in English is hit or miss for him anyway, since it's not his native language.]}

[remembertheroses]

I am from Tokyo, but now I am living in London.

Do you know Oggie?

[She mispronounces Oggie's name as O-ggi-eay, rather than "Oggie".]

[gemuetlichkeit]

_{[Due to the pronunciation, it takes him a moment, but once he figures out who she's referring to, he nods.]}

I see.

Yes, we're in the same year. He's also German.

[remembertheroses]

[In the same year too?]

He wrote in my journal.

Do you like fighting too?

[gemuetlichkeit]

_{[Apparently all the Germans like to stick together or something.]}

Not particularly. I enjoy other types of athletic training, though. And football, naturally.
