Truth be told, Serene hadn't even noticed the master in the confusion and her own focus on the Pandas at first. It was only when the other...rather rudely one might say, interjected, that Serene turned her attention to the other. She hadn't even expected the other Servant to hear her, let alone the apparent master. Already off on a rough foot, that wasn't at all ideal. She took in a breath, then slowly let it out, allowing the other to have her moment in the sun with her tirade, before finally, Serene spoke, her voice crisp, and relaxed.

[color=lightcoral] "Terribly sorry, I didn't see you there in the flow of people. I apologize if that made you jump to unfounded conclusions." [/color] An adjustment of posture, even as she bite back any sort of scathing or dis-constructing remark about the other's behavior that wasn't a politely worded one. [color=lightcoral] "I was rather lucky the ritual actually worked, given we're not exactly in a Grail War. Let alone that the regent I used summoned who I wished to meet. But all that aside, my name is Serene Drakos, and well, this is my Caster, though I'm not sure if she wishes to introduce herself, or if I should give away her true name. Trust me, she's not 'just some portrait.' She's someone special." [/color] Was there a bit of an edge there now? It wasn't too clear, given the very cheerful and professional smile given to the other, all while the smile...didn't reach her eyes. While Da Vinci had managed to break some of the ice around the Blood Iron Princess, she was still...a little frosty when it came to new people. Especially ones she got off on the wrong foot with...
