Carmen was so enveloped in the music she was playing to notice more figures entering the garden, and even didn't notice when one came over to her bench until he sat down and she felt the seat shake a little. She stopped playing and put her trumpet down, setting it on her lap horizontally. Only then did she open her eyes and turn to see a man next to her waving and smiling at her.

"I'm sorry, my mind was...elsewhere," she finally said, letting out a small courteous smile. "I'm Carmen, what's your name?" And after a pause, "And why are you wearing armor? Isn't this a peaceful campus?"
