Mag/Merri | Bazaar market | 12:30PM
Mag shook her head and dragged Merri away from the passersby who were giving the strange blabbering man confused looks. "Ah, don't you worry about that," she told him. "Why would I mind being seen with you? People can make up whatever stories they want to. I'm not going to stop seeing my friends just because someone had nothing better to do than make up a rumor."
After a beat, she added, "And if I stopped hanging out with you, next thing I'd hear would be a rumor about our messy break-up, or something." She shrugged and grinned at him. "So I don't care."
