Serrana gave a shrug and a bit of a playful smile after listening to her brother - and to Gionni and Ada. "Eh, let him listen," she said, grinning a bit. "What have I to hide? I'm sure that he would be a fool to think that we wouldn't be sharing what happened with loved ones, even if we were being wise enough to keep it to ourselves beyond that. Either he's aware that this conversation is going on, or he, at the least, suspects it. Honestly, given anything else he knew, it would be unwise to assume any less. Regardless, it's good that you know - you'll be able to get mom and dad a message better than I will, if it comes to that. And they should bring Gardas. He can protect them on the way, if they need it."
Serrana let out a bit of a sigh, then gave her brother a warm embrace. "I should go - the carriage won't wait forever, and I still have much to do this night, since apparently I now have a new employer... I feel bad for Oran. He just got back his chief assistant, and I'm going to end up indisposed all over again. That poor man... do check in on him while you're still in town, would you? Especially if I can't? And if I don't see you before you go, Taran, it was good to see you. Really good. Thank you. For everything." She leaned in and kissed her brother on the cheek before turning to Ada and Gionni.
"You guys behave, especially you, Ada!" she said, grinning wide. "I don't want to have to come back here and put on a show just to bail you out of trouble!" Serrana gave each one a hug in turn, Gionni first, then Ada, before she whispered to the woman (though she wasn't being terribly secretive about it) "keep in touch. It may take far more than either of us know now for this to resolve well for all of us. I have a bad feeling about this..."
Serrana shook her head as she stepped back, looking at all of them as she did. "Okay, time to go get into more trouble. Who knew I'd be spending my evening time with royalty like this, hm? Perhaps it's time to cause some commotion in the palace, and see how much I can get away with, hm?" The sorcerous firedancer flashed a playful little smirk as she continued, that same impish tone to her voice. "Besides, if he's sneaking in to watch me dance, I must have a little bit of royal favor in my corner, no?"
Serrana smiled, waved, and headed back out to the carriage, waving to the driver as she did. "Can we head back to my home before returning to the palace? I have a few things to pick up, one that may be rather important, and I think the duke will want to see... it won't be a long trip, I promise!"
