Do you take me for a child? [ Asks the thirteen year-old who's short for her age. ] That I would believe that the older me was abducted by an organization from the future and now lives in this seedy lodgings? If this is some foolish attempt to foolishly prevent me from being a prosecutor, then know this-- my Papa will hear about this. And he will not stop until you've been found guilty of all the crimes you have and might foolishly commit.

I won't too, once I've successfully passed the bar. I won't show you any mercy [ She swings her riding crop around as an example ], not even one minuscule bit.

[ Convinced that she has managed to intimidate her abductors with her message, young Franziska von Karma smiles. True to her nature, that smile comes off as snarky and condescending. ]

Of all the lies... time travel? Really? In the future, when I am prosecutor, all criminals won't escape punishment for their crimes. I won't be caught in a den of fools like this.

We're tea buddies.

Oh. I'm sorry you had to suffer through that.

[whatsupcroc]

It's okay. I suffer in the most pleasant way possible.

( She nods. )

It's character building.

[ She shakes her head. ]

Being with my little brother has clearly turned you into some kind of deviant. We must do something before it's too late.

( Curiosity defines her features: more by choice than honest feeling. Collette's largely amused by Franziska's statements. )

Oh no! What do you think we should do?

[perfectionisms]

You can start by sticking with me. We don't want him to influence you further.

[whatsupcroc]

Good idea! Then what?
