[b][color=f49ac2]"Ah well,"[/color][/b] Marlene replied to Erika's first part in regards of [i]'befriending random little girls in the street'[/i], [b][color=f49ac2]"It's a little hard to explain in a sense you know? Long and complicated story anyways, heh heh."[/color][/b]

Her smile then turned into a saddish frown of surprise when Erika then thought of herself being annoying to Marlene. At first, she thought she was really being serious... or if anything some shot in the dark. Hell, she didn't seem to look or sound sad. Then the girl raised her blank stare up to Marlene's face with an innocent looking, asking if she said [i]'something strange again?'[/i].

[color=f49ac2][b]"Oh, no no,"[/b][/color] Marlene said in a slightly rapid tone to reassure her, [color=f49ac2][b]"Why do I consider you troublesome? You aren't so in my eyes. Besides, I just met you so why to just say that a few minutes into this? But no... I don't consider you troublesome you lil' cutie."[/b][/color]

She finishes with a friendly wink and a smile.
