"Oi! Derek!" He replied simply, hand rising in a quick wave to the student. His thoughts were somewhat a mirror of Miranda's, lucky Derek accompanied by two cute young things. Headed that way anyways, he sprinted the short distance between the pair of them, slipping into line just behind the trio. "Just the mutant they were looking for."
He jerked a thumb at Wi-Fi and Xi'an as the two approached at a slightly calmer rate. "Well Xi'ans already introduced himself. The other one is Wi-Fi. Just a suggestion, if he looks at you, start repeatedly thinking 'Calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean.'" He grinned. "It helps, well, makes him try at least."
He looked then to the more timid of the two girls, (Assuming she hadn't vanished to hide her blush), dipping low in a bow, clothing rippling, long sleeved silk growing a bit more baggy, a t-shirt now, one she would recognize as a 'very' close approxmation of some little bit of merchandise that had been produced with her likeness when she'd been a celebrity. "Rare to see someone among the students who was famous before they could fly, lift cars, shoot energy blasts or whatever your paticular power is." He winked. "Don't watch much tv, but I must say I was a bit of a fan. You did a lot with the matierial you were given."
He flashed her one more brilliant smile before turning his attention to the group as a whole. "Alchemist, please," he laughed. "Alchy makes me sound like a child, drives me batty. Though speaking of childlike... David.." He jerked that thumb at Wi-Fi and Xi'an. "These two need water for a bit of a prank."
