"U-Um...hi."
"Yeah, uh...h-hello."
"Should have figured," Sighed Aria with a wry smile.
"Yup," I nodded in response.
"I-I'm, um...I'm Iqra Barakat."
"Nice to meet you...I'm Cleo Nova."
Guess this is what happens when socially awkward meets low self-esteem.
We were all but done with the tour of the Guild, Iqra was the last person present in the building that we had yet to introduce Cleo to.
And, well, this encounter is awkward as all hell. On top of her natural stutter, Iqra's pretty much nervous and on edge by default, and Cleo's that way with strangers.
Iqra had been using one of the training rooms, and she'd just wrapped up her training session, so we figured we'd introduce the two of them to each other.
"Alright, well...we'll let you go get changed now, Iqra, looks like you were training pretty hard in there," Spoke up Aria, breaking the awkward silence.
