Considering this was not a place she had ever been to before, Serafina was surprised to be addressed. She hadn't seen Daphne approach because the puppy had chosen that moment to sniff at a random spot in the sidewalk, which didn't appear to be dangerous or disgusting, but she attempted to distract him anyway, making him return to his own plate. Then she looked up with a bright smile.
"Daphne," she said warmly, in greeting. "I'm quite well, and you?" She laughed at the mention of the puppy at her feet. "This is my new pet. He was a present from someone that I thought was quite fond of me, but he's such a troublemaker that I'm beginning to wonder..."
She was joking, of course, but actually wanting a pet was something only Tia had ever known about her, and she wasn't sure she wanted to divulge that secret. "I don't know how long he'll be willing to sit here, but would you like to join us for a bit?"
