<div style="text-align: justify;">Alexia felt her heart race a little. Had she said something wrong? Or had he simply regained control over himself? That was a hard question to answer, so the girl decided to keep on with her act. His reaction to her comment on her living arrangements made her not. "I do wish to earn a better place to be. I am grateful to my aunt for providing me with a room for now, naturally". Taking a sip of her own beverage, Alexia smiled when Hanz-Eren chuckled.<br/><br/>"No need to apologize", she replied kindly. "It is a pleasure meeting you". Listening to him, she nodded at his reply about being in Berlin most of his life. The girl sighed softly when he spoke about his family. It was partially part of the act, and partially a real longing for the days when she had her own family. "I am searching for some sort of employment, as I do not wish to be a burden".<br/><br/>Alexia bit her lower lip for a moment. She was really trying not to let emotion get the best of her. And this answer was indeed true, even if for different reasons than she claimed. "In part for a job, and in part because I did not wish to be alone". Alexia lowered her head for a moment, as if gathering strength to continue. "My mother passed away a few weeks ago, and my father had already preceded her", she added quietly.</div>
