[h2][center][color=orangered]~ Carmen ~[/color][/center][/h2]

Carmen chuckled at Ryuu scrambling to explain himself. Before she could insert a remark about how she was [u][i]sure[/i][/u] that she believed him, Andromeda piped in as well, assigning blame to herself.

[color=orangered]"Now Ryuu,"[/color] Carmen said, with a grin that was the combination of amused and devious, [color=orangered]"Don't you know that you're not supposed to put yourself in a position where ttractive women can't fall on you? That's...well that's just [i]step one[/i] of being a male, I'd imagine."[/color]

Carmen then turned her attention to the man and the miniature female. She thought for sure she'd seen them before...or at least the man. What was his name? Edgar? Aaron? Something like that...

She stood propped against the doorway, with one leg on the ground and one leg bent with the foot resting against the doorframe. Andromeda presently introduced herself to the man, and Carmen stayed silent as she inwardly thought, [i][color=orangered]Oh good, now I'll know the man's name. The little girl might be harder, but I have a feeling the man might introduce her...[/color][/i] Carmen was essentially just musing to herself, remaining a fly on the wall as the exchanges took place. She assumed, satisfyingly, that was enough to put the otaku on edge.
