He takes a few deep breaths and flashes Éclair a weak smile, trying to reassure her that he will be alright. ]

Don't be scared. I won't hurt you, okay?

[Éclair backs up, a little embarrassed for the boy. He seems nice, after all.Despite all that freaking out.]
You didn't startle me! But I'm sorry I scared you.

Don't worry. I've gotten used to it. [ He'll smile. ]
My name's Guy. Guy Cecil. It's nice to meet you, Miss.

[She extends her hand to shake and then, realizing her mistake, pulls it back in hurriedly. Embarrassed, she grins awkwardly at him.]

So, what are you doing wandering the halls so late? [ There's a hint of playfulness in his voice. ]

Do you do that often?

I try to!
I mean, a lot of people are scared or confused when they get here, right? So someone should be there to help them.

So, you just wander the halls all by yourself? Does it get lonely?

I'm not lonely, really! Sometimes it's a little boring, though.
