Elizabeth was stood waiting in the vestibule of the college waiting for the next new student to arrive. After talking it over for John, they'd decided to offer some tours of the campus for new students to help them get acquainted with the new building. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she spotted someone coming towards her looking like a new student. Smiling, she stretched out a hand in greeting, "Hi there, I'm Dr Weir, nice to meet you."

	Pietro hadn't been sure about this tour but Wanda had wanted to go so he'd gone along too. It wouldn't hurt to find out a little more about the place they'd be spending time especially since they'd most likely be in different parts of the building too. Smiling he shook the woman's hand, "Pietro Maximoff" he replied, "I am going to be studying Kinesiology" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Good afternoon, Mr Maximoff, I'm Doctor Elizabeth Weir. Welcome to the University of California, Irvine campus," Elizabeth greeted. "Kinesiology...is that...the study of movement?" she asked, extrapolating from her extensive foreign language catalogue to approximate what the word meant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Pleased to meet you Professor" Pietro replied, before nodding, "Yes that is right, particularly related to physical activity and sport" he told her. He was very excited about his course, if a little daunted too. He and Wanda had wondered if English being their second language would hinder them but they were willing to work hard.

	"Ah, so are you hoping to be a professional sportsman yourself or to coach?" Elizabeth ventured. He was very polite so far and she had noted the Russian accent. It was nice to have foreign students studying on campus, it made the place a bit more diverse and interesting. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but Вы говорите по-русски?" she asked.

	"Coach or teach, one or the other" he shrugged, "I think anyway. I am perhaps to be changing my mind when I start studying" When she spoke in his native language he grinned, "Конечно. Я родился в России" he replied, "Вы очень хорошо говорите" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A native speaker! Then I apologise if my pronunciation is a bit off, I'm always willing to improve though," Elizabeth told him with a smile. "I think that is a very wise decision, remaining flexible is always an advantage," she told him. "So why did you want to study here then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Your pronunciation is not so bad" Pietro told her, he could tell she wasn't a native speaker but then most native speakers could even if someone had been living in the country and speaking that language for years.

	"A scholarship! Congratulations!" Elizabeth enthused, a bright smile on her face. "You and your sister must be very proud of yourselves!" she grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thank you" Pietro said with a smile, "We were very happy yes" he nodded, they had been surprised too. Neither of them had truly expected to get in but then they had and their lives had taken a different direction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So, tell me, what is your sister studying then?" Elizabeth asked, starting to lead him over to the table she had helped prepare earlier with maps, drinks and snacks laid out on it. She poured them both a glass of water and handed a cup to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Neurology" he told her, "We are twins but we have different interests" he grinned as he took the cup with a nod of thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well it sounds you are both incredibly intelligent young people," Elizabeth smiled. "Perhaps I could practice my Russian on you while you are studying with us," she offered. "How about we start with the tour?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I guess that will be seen when we start classes" Pietro said but he was smiling in a way that said he knew they were smart. "Of course, as long as you do not mind corrections" he teased a little, "Lead the way Professor" (Reply to this) (Parent)
