"Oh! You wound me Lady Meridan!  Such harsh snappings at my person wound my spirit." Serrica said, hardly serious about the matter.   The rich noble didn't mind having one person that tried to put her down.  And of all people, Lady Meridan would likely be the best out of anyone.  Well, her and von Afah.  

"And treat this place as a hunting ground?  I think you will find that a place of learning is in fact the peak setting to find those with innate or hidden talents that one needs to draw out."  Serrica mentioned, looking at Anne in particular.  "And, if you must know what I was doing here, it's something I'm sure you would do in the same situation.  Some unruly students knocked a girl over so I escorted her here and then met Lady Marielle here."  None of it was false at the least."

With a smirk, Serrica looked towards Lady Meridan once more.  "And, lest I forget, you should hurry up and get together with that Prince of yours.  If you sadly aren't interested in me, that is."  The woman teased.  "I believe that would be in the best interests of everyone involved, wouldn't you agree with me, Lady Marielle?" The student had to ask the other, wondering if the Heroine found any interest in the prince.
