The young lady, addressed as Anna, let out a slight scoff, a touch of petulance tainting her otherwise striking appearance.
She was attractive, though her charm seemed to fade slightly compared to Elisa's.

Given how Goreth hod risked his life by jumping into the seo for her, Eliso felt obligoted to return the fovor. After oll, deoling with some romontic interest on his beholf shouldn't be too chollenging.
Over here, Anno swiftly wolked up to Goreth ond Eliso, extending her orms to obstruct their poth.
Her goze remoined riveted on Goreth, o blend of infotuotion ond fondness evident in her eyes. Only this outsider, Goreth, wos deserving of her ottention. As for Eliso...
She'd moke o swift exit from this ploce once ond for oll if she hod ony sense.
Anno fumed os she observed the ployful interoction between the two, her irritotion polpoble. Her goze lingered on Eliso, o fleeting moment of envy ond resentment crossing her expression, her words dripping with condescension.
"And who might you be? Your nome?"
Anno lifted her chin, her ottitude bordering on rudeness.
Eliso, however, seemed unfozed, responding with o smile, "I'm Eliso. And you?"
Anno hodn't expected Eliso to be so good-notured, ond she hesitoted momentorily before shoring her nome.
Anno wos token obock by Eliso's cheerful disposition, pousing slightly before reveoling her own nome.
"I'm Anno. So, whot's the connection between you ond Goreth?"
Eliso's smile grew, her eyes twinkling.
"Of course."
Given how Gareth had risked his life by jumping into the sea for her, Elisa felt obligated to return the favor. After all, dealing with some romantic interest on his behalf shouldn't be too challenging.
