<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: comic sans ms;">Cerise had just taken the datapad from Avalona and was about to turn around and head on her way, when she found herself bumped up against something.  Or, in this case, someone.  Blinking a few times, Cerise looked up, her mouth open, ready to apologize for her clumsiness, but was cut off by the person she had knocked into.</span><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=82482.msg3758013#msg3758013">Quote from: Gladiator0161 on 11-10-2010, 08:06:44</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"My apologies...are you alright?"
