Serena wasn't exactly much of a gossip, but it was interesting enough to get the scoop on the people she'd be working and living with. Gossip was just that; to be taken fairly lightly until one new the real details from a trustworthy source. And even the source itself couldn't necessarily be trustworthy.

"Interesting," was all Serena replied with, her mind quite obviously processing the information. "Well, it was a pleasure meeting you, Miss Annie." She hadn't gotten a rank, anyway.
