Wait, what am I doing here?

Merana looked at him strangely and nodded. It was a touchy subject. That and she really didn't know much about her past as she would have liked to.She lightly sighed and looked around quickly, then putting her gaze back on the guy. "Hmpft." She made a small noise with her mouth. "I wonder what types of things you 'liberate.'" She quoted him, trying to make a joke, though it sounded more like an insult. She paused as he explained the origins of his name, and smiled a bit.

"I've always loved Greek mythology." It was nice to know that at least she could admit that. Merana got a bit worried as he pulled out his phone, unsure of what he was going to do with it, that was until he explained. When he offered her to look, she leaned in to look at the phone, reading the words that described his name. Merana leaned back a bit, as he typed in her name. She had never done what he was doing, to look up what it really meant. Merana leaned in again though, when he started to talk. The thought of her name meaning, made her laugh a bit. "I am not good at swimming actually." She looked away, knowing that it didn't really relate to the topic. "And I have a, dark past with water. So, that's an interesting meaning."

Merana nodded her head swiftly as the boy talked about the meaning of his siblings names. "Siblings must be nice though." She said quietly under her breath. Did he even like his siblings? Merana had once heard that even if you hate your siblings, you still love them because they are family. Merana quickly smiled though as he made a remark about his parents again. She then lightly sighed and nodded again. "Yeah that's true." She placed her hands on her lap and looked around quickly. Merana then turned her head back in the direction of him and tried to not look at him straight on. "Soo.."

Well all of this sibling talk made her think of her past, so she tried to block him out a bit, like she had done to everyone else in her life, but it didn't work. She lightly sighed to herself and looked down, blinking her eyes. When he was finished though, she looked back up at him. She grinned a bit as he had accidentally talked out loud. "What?" She smiled a bit. "Poetry? Is that a part of something?" Merana had no idea what that one little sentence meant, but a part of poetry was as close as she thought she would have gotten.

Merana waited as the man infront of her tried to explain herself. "Hmmm." She said almost silently, as she felt that the guy was reluctant to say what he wanted to. What was so important that he couldn't say what he meant? He was probably just worried or concerned that whatever they were doing right now would end or something if what he said didn't interest to Merana.

She sighed lightly and waited for him to either say that it didn't matter, or for him to explain himself.

When he finally did, her ears and eyes perked up to listen to the answer. "Oh, alright. That's pretty cool actually." Merana calmly smiled at him and nodded. "Sounds alright, I mean as long as they aren't secretly plotting to kill me, I can see why you are at this school."

Merana was still a bit surprised at his reaction. She had once been in this situation before, as she once knew a person that was different, but they quickly stopped seeing or talking to her because they weren't happy with themselves. She smiled though, happily that he hadn't freaked out at her response.

"Well tell them I'm happy to hear that then." She paused her train of thought, to think as to who, and why they were even, well in his head. "Ah." She smiled a bit, not wanting thing to wither get quiet, or awkward. At least not yet. "Are they related to you? or did you have a special connection with them? Or were you just born like that?" A wave of questions flooded her mind in that moment.
