Arja smiles timidly and clears her throat, hoping to avoid embarrassments regarding her accent, "Many thanks Madam. I suppose I'll join the other students at the table and enjoy the hospitality."
Arja jumped a little, startled before pulling out a chair next to the girl. She took off her hat and placed it on the table, "Apologies, you startled me a little. I wasn't expecting to attract attention so soon. I'm Lieutenant Arja í-Lanalis Halfdansdottir Larathael. But please, simply call me Arja, my full name is merely a formality. Thank you for inviting me to sit next to you but I'm afraid we're not familiar, you are?" Arja smiles warmly at the girl and offers her hand to shake.
