"Wait wha-"

On one hand it did allow her to escape from one of the romantic interests. On the other, this wasn't anything like anything that had happened in the game. Anne certainly hadn't expected Serrica to go dragging her off like this out of the blue. In fact, none of this behavior seemed like the Serrica she knew from the game at all. Just what was going on? Of course it wasn't that Serrica wasn't wealthy and exuberant but...

Maybe she was just imagining it? Maybe it was just because of how things had already shifted?

Anne wasn't certain, and she didn't really know how to handle a girl just dragging her off in the first place.

"Er... er... Marielle," she managed, when Serrica asked her name. It was more then she'd expected to be dealing with from her already, so it took a moment for her to even begin to articulate herself, "A-Anne Marielle, er, I guess we just didn't... run into each other...?"

She was from a minor house, in any case, so the chances of that were exceptionally high.
