Serrica merely smiled somewhat entertained as Lilian spoke harshly to her.  There was always something entertaining about her interactions with the girl.  Few people truly troubled her and Lilian Meridan was no exception to that. "Nice to see you as well, Lady Meridan.  Looking as beautiful as ever."  She mentioned as the girl just stared her down.  Perhaps she would feel unsettled with the daughter of His Majesty's chief advisor staring her down... But a merchant couldn't let such trifles bother them.

She went silent mostly as Lilian introduced herself to Anne.  It didn't bother her a bit.  So long as she didn't plan on trying to snatch her new recruit from under her like a bitch.  Which is not what it seemed like.  Rather, she seemed rather focused on her for some reason.  She always seemed wary.  

Perhaps it was because she was not exactly polite to the royalty?  Well, she didn't have to nor did she particularly want to.  He was fairly boring as far as it went but, realistically, she didn't really focus on that sort of thing in her few playthroughs.

As soon as introduction was over... It was back to being stared at.  Serrica couldn't remember being particularly mean to Lilian or anything of the sort.  In fact, she had started trying to be.... Somewhat nice.  She has consistently invited her to tea parties.  Or, tried.  A good ally is the daughter of the king's advisor after all.  Now, however... 

"Well, I had come this far out originally to assist a girl that had been pushed aside and scraped her knee.  There I met this cute little miss."  Serrica mentioned, defending herself in a small way.  "And I always have time to make small talk with the new students, Lady Meridan.  It's always wonderful to meet the new faces we'll be seeing until we graduate."  She added before staring Lilian back in the eye.  "My, you know, Lady Meridan, you stare at me like that much longer and I'll wonder if you have a thing for me.  I thought you had a thing for the Crown Prince."  Serrica teased, taking a step closer.  

"Well, you may find that my [i]refined[/i] taste includes people with beautiful golden locks if you're curious."  The Duke's daughter took one more step forward towards Lilian.  She was curious if she hit the hammer on the nail, though she somewhat doubted she did.  Likely, she was just always irritated with the way Serrica treated the Crown Prince.
