Serenity looks at him. She liked his name. In a strange sort of way he was smooth and elegant. Filled with the ways of a gentleman while not being a stuffy noble. She rather found that entrancing. She didn't say so. She looked back down and didn't look up until he spoke and asked the question. Frowning a bit. "I was not trying to get myself into trouble. Julia says the best places to find true and genuine people is in the town or market place." She says truthfully. "I did not mean to get into trouble. I was hoping Susanna was here today. She works here in this tavern." she explains. Biting her lower lip. "I was wanting to find a friend who was male who wasn't a stuffy and boring old noble. Someone who would be my friend for who I am personally. Not for who I am as far as wealth and things go."<br/><br/>She wasn't lying and really wasn't a good liar even when she attempted to do so. She sighs. "I want to find someone...who will like me for me. Someone who I can like as more than just a friend possibly. I made an agreement with my father. He would let me choose who I would marry but I had to find someone myself. He agreed..." she says softly. "...very reluctantly but he did." She lifted her face yet it was still shadowed by her hood. Blushing a bit.<br/><br/>Looking down so he wouldn't see the shock at the connection he unknowingly had made. "Yes. It is a pretty name. It must be a coincidence." she stammers nervously. She didn't want to be found out. He might call guards or something. Then she would have a very hard time finding a male friend who liked her for her. She bit her lower lip. He couldn't know who she was...could he? If he did was he going to force her to go back? She snuck out on purpose. To find a friend. Sure maybe it wasn't the wisest of decisions but she knew no other way to meet someone who would like her in return. She nearly paled as she realized that she was starting to develop a strange and confusing crush on the man in front of her. She barely knew him yet she felt...safe around him.<br/><br/>In walked Michael, Damian's older step brother and she paled. Pulling her hood to cover her face more. Avoiding looking at the male. Praying he just kept walking. That guy scared the hell out of her. Even in her father's castle he had pinned her to a wall and forced kisses on her. He intimidated her and as such she was afraid to tell her father about his forceful kissing of her. She was tense and only relaxed after Michael left once more. She looks to Damian. Unsure how to ask if he would be her friend. Or even if it was a good time to do so.
