Serah didn't quite know what to think of this "Jake", still. He told her that he'd worked with Mai before, but that didn't put Serah at ease in the slightest. She was a little relieved when he left, but still gave him a smile as he left. Serah turned back to Mai, avoiding eyecontact and scratching her chin a bit nervously. [color=00aeef]"Erm... you sure you want to know, Mai? I mean, shouldn't you be getting your strength back first or something?"[/color] 

Serah's smile was forced, and so was the small laugh she gave Mai. It's clear that the girl would rather avoid the subject of who died on the battlefield. The girl was silent for a few moments, then changed the topic. [color=00aeef]"...Anyway, so! What's up with you and Jake, hmm? He can't just be from another division, right? I mean, you two know each other and all... You sure he didn't just transfer to see you again?"[/color]

Serah giggled a little mischievously as she said that last part, glancing back over her shoulder to see the boy still standing in line. Once the girl confirmed the two of them were in the clear, she put her elbows on the table and rested her chin on top of her folded hands.

[color=00aeef]"C'mon, we're both girls. You can tell me~! I won't tell anybody, promise!"[/color]
