After the formal introduction Richard went back to the sandwich request Daan made earlier. Impolitely he rejected the offer by saying: "Oh you do not think that I would eat something of such poor quality as that sandwich. I only eat things made by my esteemed cooks at home. You see,
I do not like to mingle in 'normal' food en devours....but I suppose it was a nice offer in the first place so I won't judge you for it." He ended his monologue with a small smile, as if he were to send it off as a joke, although he did mean it all sincerely.
As Daan was born in Australia and was not part of the scum that normally roamed the school floors, he took keen interest in trying to protect him from the 'normal' student. As he saw the people he resented most gazing at Daan as he was young flesh ready to be consumed, he added: "I see that the others are looking at you feisty; I would not try to give it much attention. You can consider me as your guide through this school and as the one that will protect you from the plebeians here." Then, when a new brief pauze fell, he answered the question that was posed to him: "My hobbies? Well, those would include reading books, studying, playing mind games,
and playing on my violin. I would do anything to keep the brain stimulated. As I do not want to come over as impolite, please also tell me your hobbies."
