A sigh escaped Marlowe's lips. The thrill of the simulation and the unexpected revelation about her potential had left her brimming with nervous energy.
"So, what do we do now?" she asked, her voice bouncing off the padded walls of the training room.
Alex rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Well, are you interested in meeting Brittany right away? She might still be at her apartment."
Marlowe's eyes widened with a mix of excitement and apprehension. The idea of meeting a princess, especially one known for her magical prowess, was both daunting and exhilarating. "...Yeah, sure, I mean, why not? Besides… I wouldn't want to take a regular lesson today anyway."
Yoo-Euni, who had been silently observing their exchange, let out a long-suffering sigh. "You truly are a handful, Marlowe, Your personality doesn't exactly match your appearance, that's for sure."
Marlowe stuck her tongue out playfully. "Yeah, yeah, Ms. Yoo-Euni. I get that a lot."
