They could have been besties then too, they and Mercie could have been a trio

_{[Embarrassing stories were the best, more please. She can tell some of hers to help Asuna relax and it helps her own embarrassment to come clean and laugh about it. This is one of her quick ways to make friends! Though, Asuna was making it very easy.]}

Wow you've grown a lot since your first week. I'm the same way, I mess up so much I wonder if I'll ever get things right even just one time. I always seem to get something wrong.

Oh, yeah, it's nothing exciting. I can show you when we're outside. With my luck in here I'd hit my head.

_{[When Asuna laughs Annette laughs even more. It's a closed-loop now. She can imagine it, in her mind's eye Asuna's teacher is an older surly man not unlike Felix who just got his hair singed off. Felix' scowl and no eyebrows is instant comedy. Comedy which only grew more intense as Asuna puts that voice to her words. Annette can't help it, she howls in laughter and bends over. Her back hurts, it's hard to breathe.]}

No no no... ah that hurts... AHAHAHA! Did he have any eyebrows then? Ah- what if he didn't! _{[She needed to calm down but it was hard, it hurt her back and her sides, she needed to breathe but that image stuck in her mind and as soon as she'd catch her breath she'd see it and start all over again. She'd have a hard time looking at Felix now.]}

You should go see him again... take me with you!

That would've been great! I adore Mercedes.

[Annette is making it pretty easy for her to open up. Annette's laughing with her and not at her, and that makes it so much nicer. And oh, the embarrassing stories she can tell.]

It's hard because some people seem to pick up things so effortlessly. I've gotten a lot better but it's taken hard work and putting other things by the wayside. I was busy practicing my swordsmanship while everyone else was at dances and other school events.

I don't know, it sounds like fun! I used to dream I could fly when I was little. It would be so much fun!

[Just imagine Felix aged more like Hanneman than his father, and his hair made a tactical retreat ages ago. That's probably the best picture. And with a look that, well, probably matches what Felix would be if he knew about this conversation and the visuals. Asuna tries her best to stay in character, but the laughter wins out again.]

It... took a while. A long while. He would always glare at me when I passed by.

[Totally imagining Annette seeing Felix, doubling over in laughter, followed by him staring at her in confusion before letting out a long suffering sigh and moving on.]

We should!

[She tries her best to regain that posture and voice, but the effect is ruined by a few giggles slipping out.]

I am glad... to see... you have made... a friend... in the magical arts...

[And that's it, that's all she can manage before she took is doubled over with laughter, gasping for breath and slapping a hand against the table. You think looking at Felix would be hard? Imagine Asuna ever having to look at that man again after this!]
