where she has been! Not that she missed her or anything..

lost track of time on her whirlwind tour of the continents and nearly forgot to return home. She's too exhausted to do much now.

bangs on her door.

blinks, surprised by the knock. She reluctantly gets off her bed and shuffles to the door. "Bonjour?" She greets as she opens the door.

accidentally nails her in the nose since she opened the door so suddenly.

yelps in pain as something hits her nose. "Mon dieu!" She catches sight of the culprit and shakes her head. "Ann, don't you have better ways

to greet your friends?"

looks a little surprised before covering up and pretending she meant to do it. She snorts, placing her hands on her hips. "You deserved it_

and who said we are friends!"

chuckles, "An eye for an eye then?" She leans forward and places a tiny kiss on her nose. "You deserved that too." She winks and pulls Ann_

into the house. "Well, my non-friend, what brings you here to visit?"

squeaks at that, cheeks turning red as she grumbles something along the lines of 'french women!'. "...You were gone a long time. I had to_

come see that you were bothered."

grins, "Mm, I'm a little tired for bothering, but since it's an old friend... Bother away, cherie~"

huffs a little at her agreeableness today. "Where were you?"

frowns deep at that. "Almost forgot to come back? Well good riddance then!" She had clearly taken it personally.

offers her some snacks and smiles. "Ah, you wouldn't miss me if I were gone then?"

eyes the snacks hesitantly, like a wary cat...before reaching out to nibble. "...Of course I wouldn't." She was lying. She had felt_

something was missing with her gone.

pouts. "Well, I guess I shouldn't have come back then..." She takes a snack to nibble.

looks away, feeling guilty a bit. "Though it did feel like something was missing..." She finally admitted.

smiles brilliantly at her. "But of course! You couldn't find anyone to bother, eh?"

goes a bit red at that! "I had plenty of people to bother!" She mostly harassed Alicia

amused by her reaction. "Vraiment? So it is your hobby to bother people? Really, you should find better hobbies, cherie~"

gasps! "No! That is not what I meant and you know it!"

chuckles, "Oui, oui. I was only teasing, darling. You make it too easy." She smiles fondly at the other.

huffs at her, now feeling silly. She hated how easily Marianne could get her worked up. "Well, cut it out!"
