Thierry & OPEN (Multiple Threads are OK!)
Thierry was mostly using the speed dating activity to entrench himself in who was who around the school. It was one thing to use the journal system and another entirely to actually speak to people face to face. While not foreign to him, technology was not his ideal form of communication. Thierry liked getting to know people face-to-face. What better place to do that than at a speed dating activity which would have him moving from table to table every five minutes? Brief view and then he could talk to them more after if they didn't scurry off.
But there was a bit of a hustle and bustle about it. He wasn't disappointed, per say, but he did get turned around a number of times. He sat with a young girl first and they chatted a bit. Found out where she was from, what she liked, and managed to get her to smile a bit too. Enough that when the bell rang, she looked somewhat disappointed as he had to move on to the next table.
"See you around, 'chere," he said with a grin and combing his fingers through his hair before he made it to the next table.
