Torusa

Marie giggled softly and offered her hand to him, "Lead the way, then~"

Oh goodness, he was even more nervous now. It was so adorable! The darling was just so cute! She absolutely adored how nervous he seemed to be. He was so cute, stuttering and blushing and all. Honestly, she didn't really know of anyone else who ever acted this way around her. She was the strange girl who was always studying and playing with slimy things. Brady was different, though. Certainly she was strange to him, but he was still so sweet to her.  

[PrinceFigment]

She kept a steady smile, following Brady through the houses. It was a little strange to see this sort of part of town. Her family had been very much about being proper, having the right house and the right car, living in the right neighborhood. This was really the first time she'd been in a place like this.

When he mentioned the 'odd' decor, she shook her head. "I'm sure it's all just lovely."

Of course a lot of things were lovely, compared to her own childhood home. So cold and insensitive, the kind of home that featured reproductions of classic artwork and a library of psychology books. Compared to that, everything else was wonderful.  

[PrinceFigment]

Always curious, almost recklessly so, she took a step back at the snapping jaws, but stayed calm. Even if the... rather large... creature meant to harm them, getting all worked up wouldn't do any good. As the frog jumped down onto the crocodile's snout without any trouble, she smiled. My, such strange pets Brady's family kept. It was a nice change from the usual dogs and cats.

She was rushed through the house almost too quickly to see anything, though she did try. Marie caught glimpses of the books, wondering on them, but thought it best not to ask. Perhaps they were interested in strange literature? If they were, it certainly wasn't her duty to point it out.

The young woman rushed through quickly enough, with Brady's encouragement. "Your home seems lovely, Brady..."  

[PrinceFigment]

Marie smiled softly, "It's much nicer than where I grew up."

When he started to edge his way to the door, she paused to watch him. He seemed even more nervous than before. She didn't really understand the reason for it, but that was fine. She mentally shrugged it off, just enjoying the company for the moment. The young woman thought she heard something strange when he tossed whatever it was out of the room. It must be nothing, though, she was sure. "Oh. Whatever you'd like to make is fine."  

[PrinceFigment]

That strange man sounded far too much like the little frog for Marie to just dismiss it. It would simply be too good of a trick, if it were. Something was going on. She would easily dismiss most things, but this was a bit too much coincidence to be done.

The young woman crossed her arms, looking at Brady, "What's going on, Brady? You're much more nervous than usual... and that... 'family' sounded an awful lot like Mikey."  

[PrinceFigment]

Marie's usually cheerful appearance faded slightly. Something was going on, but it was obvious that he wouldn't tell her. He didn't trust her to know, she supposed, but that was only to be expected. They'd only just met, after all. Though she hadn't given him a reason for mistrust, had she? She certainly tried not to.

Sighing softly, her gaze fell to the floor, "Perhaps I should go... it... it seems to be a bad time..."  

[PrinceFigment]

Marie was ready to be rushed out of the house, clearly he was upset and she was sure he wouldn't want to tell her why. He wouldn't tell her anything that seemed to be going on.

With the entrance of the other two men, she turned her glance to Brady. 'Potions'? 'Normie'? There was something strange going on, but she wasn't sure it was a bad thing. If anything, it made things all the more interesting.

Glancing to the other men, she offered a weak smile. Simply because they were a bit strange, that didn't mean she needed to be rude. It was their home, after all. She was a guest, at least for the moment.
