Elide
A figure appears from around the corner, and Elide has certainly heard the approach - but she is delving into her work, yes - it may be called that. Her attention parts from her papers and dark eyes scan... an Ascended? There are not many in Halo. At least, not that Elide knows of, so you'll forgive her if her hands freeze and her brows raise and her eyes widen. Her fingers release their grip along the contents of her bag (which is just.. more papers, mostly) and suddenly she rights herself.
"My work.." Elide echoes, her eyes following the other woman's towards the pile of books and papers strewn about. "Oh, right," Elide gives a small, forgiving shake of her head, using two slender fingers to push her hair out of her face, "If it is an interruption, it is a welcome one." She lifts her chin a bit and her eyes take in the other woman again. There is a glint in her eyes and the ghost of a smile along her lips. After a moment of silence, she realizes she must introduce herself before the woman is gone and it is too late.
"My name is Elide. I have not seen you around here before... where is it you come from?"
