If Christine's own red face was anything to go buy, Nephele had definitely succeeded in appearing as her prince charming. As soon as Nephele pulled away from the kiss, Christine held the sides of her own face, completely enthralled by her rather, objectively, amateurish acting. It wasn't bad, but it certainly was cheesy, but it had the desired effect on the young noble.

[color=6ecff6]"Aaaaah!~"[/color] She pulled herself away from Nephele with her usual over dramatized demeanor, a loud giggly squeal, twirling once on her feet and acting like a village girl who just got her first kiss from some knight in shining armor. [color=6ecff6]"Oh be still thy beating heart! [sub]Haha I'm such a genius still[/sub]"[/color] She held both of her hands to one side of her face, going on to mutter a few things, such as 'guys' and 'this was better'. [color=6ecff6]"Such a great idea me, oh how do I come up with these ideas! A forbidden love between two women, aaah such a scandalous tale is almost too hot for the stage!~"[/color]

[b]"Do forgive my daughter,"[/b] Gerald chuckled before giving her an encouraging grin. [b]"She is easily excited. You did well, I think, Nephele! That is exactly what this play needs, I think! Boldness and bravery! -ah...hm?"[/b] He turned his head to the doorway where Maria was walking in. [b]"Ah...Lady Maria! nice of you to join us. Nephele and Christine here were practicing their lines. Finish giving yourself a tour of the mansion? Thank you for the Chandelier, by the way."[/b]

Upon hearing someone new enter the room, Christine stopped her giggling and twirled again, turning to face them.

[color=6ecff6]"Ah...hello! I don't think we've met. I'm Christine!"[/color] She flashed Maria a grin. [color=6ecff6]"...so, dad says you might've been exploring the mansion? Run into any spooky things in this old place?"[/color] She asked brightly, though her tone of voice was slightly odd. Almost as if she already knew the answer. Gerald simply sighed.

[b]"Christine, please do not bring up those silly stories."[/b]
