[She's not good at this whole 'distant native' thing. It doesn't bother her very much though, she'd much rather have lots of friends. The new guy being cute is just an added bonus.]

Oh. Guess I hadn't considered that you probably speak a different language. [This fact doesn't bother her though, who cares? Since when was talking super important? Because if it was the be all, end all of things Squall would have way more problems than he already did.]

Luke, huh? Nice to meet you. Have you been here very long? [She waves cheerfully to cement the whole 'nice to meet you' concept before sliding back into her seat. Really Rinoa should be thanking him. She'd almost been tempted to pull out a math book and do some homework over lunch and who wants that?]

I'm sure you'll learn the language soon enough, everyone seems to do a pretty good job of picking it up. Apparently we've got some really good teachers here.
