I-I'll gladly, if you'd like. [Marianne does actually take a quick look at the stables, before shaking her head.] He must be with someone else, but...I'd be happy to.

[Marianne listens, though, when Xander starts to talk. She doesn't know a thing about him, really, but hearing all of this...it's at least good that the horses had someone to take care of them. Xander's mother must be a kind woman, but Dahlia and Jasmine both sound like delightful characters.]

That's wonderful. Dahlia and Jasmine sound...like very wonderful friends. [Marianne giggles, very slightly.] They...they certainly sound like sisters. Complete opposites of one another. It's sweet, but...I'm glad that they both warmed up to you so much, and that you were able to befriend them.

Yes, they... really did help me get through some of the tougher times back home. I'm very fond of them.

[His smile is soft as he reminisces, but he's quick to settle into something a little more poised.]

I would like to meet Dorte sometime, and perhaps hear more about you as well. Would it be alright if we meet here again at some point?

[He doesn't want to pressure her, of course, but Marianne seems like a nice person and he really would like to get to know her better.]

[Marianne smiles a bit, seeing that soft smile for only a moment. She doesn't deserve to see it, but...it is nice on him.]

I'm...I'm glad to hear it.

[...]

I-I'm not very interesting, but...I wouldn't mind. Maybe Dorte will be here, and I can introduce you two. It...it would be nice.

[Marianne bows a little.]

I'm...going to go take care of the horses, now. Um...take care, Xander.

[He returns the bow easily.]

Of course. Thank you again for checking up on me. I'll see you later, Marianne.

[He's content to leave her for now, but the thought of meeting with her again to learn more about her is really nice. Xander heads out, but even as he goes that soft smile returns to his face.]
