Mercedes did not make Sharpay wait long, and assumed that this meeting was something official, so she turned up wearing her cadet uniform. There was no knock on the door before she entered. Growing up with the luxury of pretty much going where ever she wanted made her totally oblivious to little rules of social etiquette... and it often got her reprimanded for showing such a blatant disrespect toward other's privacy.

Upon her arrival, Mercedes looked around the room long enough that she began to squint as if the sheer abundance of hot pink hurt her eyes if she looked directly at it. She had not realized that a color could be so bright that it seemed like it glowed like the sun. Then again it also might have been a combined effort between the color and all the lighting and other shiny stuff that was shattered about the room.

"Instructor Sharpay Evans?" She spoke as a way of greeting and as well as to confirm that she was in the right office.

At the sound of her name, Sharpay turned, giving the newcomer a quick, subtle onceover. One of the younger cadets...with wings?

She didn't call attention to this, though; that would just be rude, and she was a good enough actress by now to cover up her shock. She merely stood, grabbed some disinfectant from a bottle from her desk, and wiped her hands before striding across the room and offering Mercedes a hand to shake. Boi, her dog, followed her, sniffing at Mercedes's shoe curiously.

"Mercedes, right?" This girl wasn't in any of her classes; she must have been her 1430 meeting. "Please, call me Sharpay."

When the dog came her way, Mercedes took a step back, and watched with wide eyes as the animal sniffed her shoe. The way her hands were held, it may have looked like she was fighting the urge to get further away. Perhaps on top of a chair, or even outside of the room. This wasn't the first time she has seen a dog... but it was the first time that she has seen one so /small/, and it's bold curiosity was a little unsettling.

"Y...yes." She answered, but kept her eyes on the dog. "What is that?" Pets were still a concept she hasn't quite grasped completely... "Is this animal a companion of yours?"

Sharpay tilted her head at the girl's response.

"You don't like dogs?" She whistled. "Boi, leave her alone."

The dog looked up at Mercedes a second longer before whining and running behind Sharpay's legs. He seemed to be peeking out at Mercedes, though.

"I'm sorry; I should have warned you. Boi's a Yorkshire terrier, which is a breed of dog." At home she would have left it to 'Yorkshire terrier', but who knew in this world; someone could come from a world without dogs, or just one without the tiny ones. "Yeah, I guess you could say he's my companion. I usually just say he's my pet."
