"Sera, what are you doing there? The Headmistress is already calling for us."
Then came Clement out of nowhere.
He appears right behind her, making her jolt in surprise for a second. Only then does she realize that she has been outside for a while now.

"O-Oh, hello again… C-Clement…" Seraphine greeted with a strained smile, a little hesitant to start a conversation.
"Say, you really like talking with me, huh?" she then asked, trying to know what exactly was her relationship with him in a roundabout way.
"Hasn't it always been that way? Why ask? Don't you want me around?" Clement replied as he went around the boulder and stood right in front of her.
"Wait, we're like… really friends?"
