Within and Without

[Foxglove]

It was rather hard to believe that Enma was one to like socializing with people. Given what Gen knew of Enma, she was the sort of person who got a nose piercing at the age of fifteen and told her parents it was not just a phase, only in adult. "You flatter me, signora," Gen told her, not letting her thoughts show on the outside. It was something she really needed to watch out for at times since it could get her in trouble. She also didn't dare say more because she felt like her voice could betray her mirth.

Clearing her throat, Gen tried steering her thoughts off the rather weird minds. "Ilena is the president's sister, as I said," she began, not daring to call Christina Martelli by her given name, as that would be impolite. "Quaint girl. Apparently only does what her sister tells her to. I'm sure she'd be open to suggestions if one were to make them. Also, she looks quite like her sister, I feel."
