[She gives the other woman a sympathetic smile as Felicity straightens up on the couch. Her job could get just as hectic, so it's nice that they have at least one opportunity to try and see how they might get along. Her own job might not be quite as much of a boys' club, but she doesn't get much one-on-one girl time anymore either, since moving away from all of her closest friends.
She's a little surprised at the topic of her name coming up, but not for long. It's a pretty unusual name for the States, after all. Still, Felicity does a better job pronouncing it than she does with hers... "Felicity" is full of sounds that bring out the slight accent in her English. It's kind of embarrassing, with how hard she works to sound as close to native as possible.]
Oh, really? You watched those here too?
[Common ground already! Feeling a little more relaxed, she chuckles and adds:]
Felicity sounds like something out of a Western movie, too. [A slight pause, and she blushes.] Er... American, I mean... I guess 'western' usually means something different with movies here.
[She may have been corrected on this at work once or twice already.]
Anyway, what kinds of anime did you like? Romance? Hero shows?
