Marisa Selwyn (a_singing_cat) wrote in light_of_may,

Marisa, who didn't really breathe through her nose that much unless something overwhelmed her, did exactly that and was surprised when she realized that this woman she'd approached was giving off that unmistakeable mix of animal and human that marked out a were. Huh, she must've caught that subconsciously. Even before the Light of May, or maybe especially before it, Marisa had been more comfortable around people who knew what she was just by virtue of being the same themselves. Only she didn't really recognize the exact animal she was smelling. It made her think a bit of a weasel or ferret, only that wasn't right. And she could hear her mom's voice chiding her in the back of her head just at the idea of adding the 'what animal are you?' question onto what she'd already asked. She should just be grateful that she'd found someone who looked like they might have a -- oh, awesome, no clue to be had. Marisa was really doing an awesome job at picking out people to talk to these days. Or an awful job depending on how you looked at it. No, wait, she deserved at least a B for not only picking out another were, but another professor. She didn't mean to sigh with relief but she did before a relieved smile slid onto her face.

"Thank god, I came up to you because I thought you'd know the place, but since I'm wrong about that at least I'm right with the thinking that you're not a student." Marisa took a firm hold on the woman, Faith's hand and hook it before letting go. She tried her best to keep her nose from wrinkling at the scent of a lit cigarette. Even during her time at college Marisa hadn't liked people smoking. Not only did it mess around with health in the short and long run, but it smelled terrible and the scent just clung to everything. It was even stronger than the scent of a were. "I'm Marisa Selwyn and I'm a new professor, theater." Points for finding another new professor but she might lose a few of them for finding a science teacher of all things. A lot of the science-y people that she'd known throughout her life weren't the biggest supporters or the arts and their various incarnations. "If you're taking a break then you should come get a coffee with me." That was weird. Marisa wasn't the sort of person who craved other people's company usually. It's because of Jacob and all that happened. Now that was probably very true. Ever since Saturday Marisa had been finding herself drifting towards people instead of away from them for a change. And she missed Kelly, who was still back out west, and James wasn't around anymore while Julian had other things to do... it'd be nice if she at least had another were who worked on-campus that she could maybe go out for coffee with. "New professors and were's should stick together, don't you think?" And after the 'were' thing was out there -- she still had a momentary clutch of panic in her chest at having said it outloud -- maybe she could get around to asking what exactly Faith was.
