Annette shook her head as Kuroko apologized for the terseness of her statement based on how bad her day had been. While that might have been true, she could not help but feel that it was misapplied, and she herself did not feel offended by it. It was only reasonable that the Judgment member would insist the holding of cultural and societal norms and mores, and given that Annette had been chiding herself over it already, it was just that much extra. "It's alright," she replied calmly. "It was my mistake, and you were only right in correcting me." She would leave unsaid the hostility, since it didn't seem a very tactful thing to bring up. She had more sense then that. In mere moments Kuroko had vanished, making it more than obvious that she was a teleporter of some kind, and otherwise leaving Annette and Misaka to themselves. She nodded then, addressing the question posed to her just before. "Yes, that's correct," she confirmed. "But you can call me Annette." Such formalities weren't suited for an occasion like this.
