During her trip back to the institute Serena had attempted to think of many things to cheer herself up, yet none of them had worked, before she left the Sapphire mansion the Venrosa woman understood that her early depart would have people question since the gathering had been held mostly due to her and her losses. It had also made Serena aware that there might be some whispers of disapprove as she hadn't greeted the organiser of the event, Lyonel, but there were future days ahead when Serena could thank him for his kind gesture.
After Thomas had aided Serena out of the carriage, the curly-haired girl was tempted to walk past Charlotte and aim for her room, though Charlotte had also noted that she had returned early and called for her, and with her lips pressed into a thin line, Serena turned on her feet and faced the leader of the institute who had been accompanied by a man.
"You're back early," Charlotte noted and awkward, Serena glanced at the man who had oddly examined her before he expressed a look of satisfaction which had Serena internally curl up into a ball.
"I didn't feel well," Serena answered and empathetic, Charlotte politely beckoned her head before she gently pointed towards the man who stood beside her.
"Serena, meet Sir. Mortmain, Mortmain, meet Serena Venrosa, the newest member of the Institute," Charlotte kindly introduced and inspective, the man had taken one more look at her and so did Serena.
Serena took in that he was a short, middle-aged man with greying sideburns, features that were narrow and grey eyes that were light.
"Shadowhunter?" Mortmain questioned and instinctively, Charlotte shook her head as she gently held her hands together.
"No, Serena is someone who has the Sight, Serena comes from a noble family," Charlotte lied and slightly humoured, Serena bit the inside of her cheek while Mortmain politely pulled out his hand for her to shake.
