Before he can answer that question, the professor holds up a hand, "Please, ma cherie, we are alone together in a non-formal environment, you may call me Augustine."
Miss places a hand over her mouth, "O-Oh! Excuse me then, Augustine.
I suppose you may call me Serena, then. It's only fair."A smile graces upon the professor's face, "Serena? My my, that is a lovely name for such a lovely young cherie, a fitting one. Just saying it out loud is satisfying! Serena.~ It has a certan je ne sais quoi to it, do you not agree?"
Bashful, Serena lightly dabs her cheek with a contagious smile given to her by Augustine, "P-Please, I'm not one to boast--"
"Ah! There is a smile, cherie! I have been waiting for you all this time to make one, for it is a subtle sign of healing--tres bien! As for your dilemma with Calem, you are most likely envious of the fact that he suddenly isn't paying attention to you and instead paying it to a mademoiselle of inferiority. You may or may not have feelings for him, the only reason you don't know is because your heart is in the wrong place and you haven't come to terms with facing it yet. If you feel as if a confrontation is necessary, you should assert your dominance, otherwise it's best you move on."
"I suppose that makes sense.."
A) Sycamore applauds Serena for having "good taste".
B) The conversation derails to more casual talk.
C) Serena wonders aloud if you have similar conflicting feelings.
