Quirking a nearly-exasperated eyebrow at him, she couldn't do much else but to wait him out. The laughter was a bit much. "I'm serious, very serious." She added for good measure. It may have been a little out of character for her to actually be serious about something like this, but a lot had changed in the last year and everything seemed to be pointing her this way, why wouldn't she take it seriously?
