[wanda is here, for the most part, as moral support. she has heard this speech at least a couple of times already, and while it's not to the extent where she could recite it word for word, she knows that her being around is important to istreddโshe's an anchor, telepathically and physically, should he find his nerves getting the better of him.
so, she's one of the lounge sofas, and, having made matt come to this meeting, too, she's leaning against his side, a hand holding the one over her shoulderโwhile his other hand holds the telling cane he uses to find his way around.]
( A ) HELLO, MY NAME ISโ
Wanda. Yeah, that's me.
[just because istredd was in front of everyone talking, it doesn't mean that she ought to let him field every question and topic of conversation imaginable. she tried to lighten the mood a little and make for herself a sticker with her name written on it, stuck to her shirt, so people who only knew her by name could recognize her, now.
she pulls away from the sofa, as matt will be able to mind himself and find someone to talk to if he needs to cure his boredom. wanda is more than sure that he's aware of all the conversations taking place, though.
wanda tucks her hands into the pockets of her oversized jacket.]
What Istredd shared was pretty complete. Do you โ have any questions?
[it isn't surprising if istredd disappeared for a minute, though. he had a lot of people hanging onto his words for a moment there.]
( B ) SOCIALIZING ATTEMPTโ
[the ravens in istredd's horizon can be rather fastidious, but one thing of note is that they seem to preen and demand wanda's attention. her intention had been to go and talk to others, to meet some of the unfamiliar, new faces, but instead she had found herself halted halfway down a set of stairs by the five ravens who hop and squawk at her.
she makes a face.]
That's a little rude. [she mutters, drawing her hand forward, palm up, until one of the raven fesses up and puts down a shiny trinket on her hand.] You shouldn't be taking things from others, even if it isn't real here.
[a sad croak comes from the raven.
a person approaches, and wanda closes her fist around the shiny trinket. she waves the ravens away, who take flight towards the bookshelves.]
