"You're only half correct. It was Alice and an acquaintance she's made while you've been stuck here."
"Huh.. You mean that boy from the lab? What was his name again, Chiko?"
"Chople, Calem. And yes, that would indeed be the boy in question. I'm not going to fib, I'm quite worried about them, they keep running off together, do you ever assume they're going somewhere? Perhaps conversing in secret, or pursuing interests? I know Alice means well, she tells me they're making use of free time, but still.."
You cock a dirty eyebrow, "Where the hell would they run to? What 'interests' would they pursue? Each other?"
Serena closes her eyes and looks away from you, "I... I don't know! Don't quote me on this, Calem, you're diverging away from the subject matter. I'm just concerned, is all."
>'Concerned like a friend, or concerned...like a mom?'A) "Serena, they're like...five, they'll be alright."
B) "Uh, about all of this, y'know, /this/... thanks."
C) "You're just overreacting because it's the first time she's met a boy her age, get over it."
D) "You think we could run away and pursue each other's 'interests' someday?"
