Nina stood at the entrance of the arena, hanging back and watching Serenade in the center. She didn't want to draw his attention to her, not yet - she was still somewhat leery of other duelists, not wanting to become anyone's property.

But it seemed that to regain her past and to find out what she was, she'd have to submit to that fate.

She'll merely watch Ether dance across the arena floor for now, hanging back, out of his sight.

His movements stopped as suddenly as they began, with the tip of his sword scraping across the ground for a second before his arm came to a halt. Did she expect him to pretend he didn't notice? She could forget that. After all, her very presence proved that she was already involved.

He cocked his head back and peered toward her, crimson eyes flickering in the shadows cast by the illusionary castle. It was like he was silently asking her for the reason to watch him.

Surely, she had better reasons to do. Such as deciding who she should sacrifice her freedom to.

Nina remains silent, although she stops hanging back in the shadows and moves slightly forward. She'd thought he'd been too focused to notice her but she'd been proven clearly wrong.

She has nothing to say to him, at least not yet. For now, she remains somewhat wary of any unknown duelists - if she's forced to become someone's property, she'd rather be the Rose Bride of someone she knows than a complete stranger.

Serenade didn't speak up yet, no. He merely looked her over with a dull expression on his face, not particularly caring if she was here for a reason or not. She wasn't all that different from all the kids in this game, confused and filled with distrust. In the end, it was doubtful that she was worth the headache.

Should he speak to her? Was she even worth the trouble? But with how intently she watched him, it seemed like the only coherent choice...

"What?", he finally quipped in a bored voice, his body leaning back a bit and his hand letting his sword hang back in an almost useless manner. With that weapon in hand and the metal armor sitting above his uniform, he really looked somewhat like a knight. But was he one behind that bored expression?

Nina takes a few steps forward. "Will you continue?" she asks. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to distract." She's getting that feeling again, that she's seen a blue-haired man wielding a sword before.

She hesitates, looking as if she was about to speak but held herself back. While Serenade felt familiar, she wasn't sure if he actually had anything to do with her past itself.

There's nothing to be gained in remaining silent, she decides, and takes the plunge. "I... Do you know me?" she asks in a low voice. "Do you have anything to do with my past?"

"I don't feel like it," he answers shortly as he raises the blade once again. It spins through the air several times and stops in a horizontal position behind him, where he can easily support it with both hands for better comfort.

"How would I know?" He peers at her curiously, blinking twice in surprise as he wonders why she even asked him that. "Do I look someone who even remembers himself?"
