I knew it.[/color]" Cody asked before mumbling the last part under his breath. He had sensed something similar yesterday but had passed it off as simply the games taking place....that would also explain why James seemed tired when he got back yesterday. He finished his curry now as he stood up from the table. "[color=ed1c24]Well I'm ready to go when you are.[/color]" Cody stated as he stretched slightly.

"You looked absolutely smashing my dear! What do you think deary?" The woman(?) said excitedly as she clapped her hands together before glancing towards Robin. Jasmine fidgeted with the dress nervously, it wasn't exactly her style of dress however it was quite comfortable.

A game? Owe him? The very thought made her chuckle some more to the point she had to cover her mouth with her sleeve. "[color=92278f]Oh really?[/color]" She asked with a sudden seriousness to her tone as she clicked her fingers and looked towards Manami. A magic circle now enveloped a rather confused Manami as if on cue. "[color=00aeef]Hey Georgie what-[/color]" Suddenly Manami just disappeared from view as Georgie now looked back towards Monsoon. "[color=92278f]Now that we're alone...[/color]" Georgie suddenly narrowed her eyes towards Monsoon, her entire demeanor had changed dramatically now that Manami had been removed from sight "[color=92278f]The book you're after, Kleptotionap....you believe me acquiring the book of Absolute Defence is equal to it?[/color]" Georgie asked with a raised eyebrow before she snorted loudly, almost as if she was disgusted by such a thought. "[color=92278f]However, it is true you saved my two guild members. However you only did so to be granted an audience with me no? Not that it matters, I will gladly give you the book if you help me with a problem I have.[/color]" Georgie reached into her sleeve now and brought out a [url=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-xn9SF3V9DR8/U4ZFdYryDFI/AAAAAAAAof0/WKHp1wJYSyQ/w800-h800/maxresdefault+(2).jpg]picture[/url]. "[color=92278f]You see one of my S-Class wizards left the guild a year ago...I can't seem to track her down, and when we do find her she simply beats down whoever I sent before I can get her location so by the time I get there she's long gone. I don't believe I need to explain how much of a problem this is do I?[/color]" Georgie added as she handed him the picture. As soon as he took it however Georgie disappeared for a minute or two before reappearing, this time holding a large, bulky, thick brown envelope. "[color=92278f]Do we have an agreement? I'll even pay you with the book in advance and you help me find the girl, however I do expect the book back.[/color]" Georgie said with a small childish chuckle once more "[color=92278f]Although I must say...you have me curious. I know what this book does, I suppose you won't tell me what you have planned with it even if I asked nicely?[/color]" Georgie added as she went to hand him the envelope. However she wouldn't let him have it till he agreed to the deal of course.

Was it something she said or did? However when she felt Indigo's gaze, she did feel slightly uncomfortable. It was nowhere near the same level of discomfort as what Johnny or Simon, nor even Georgie when she was feeling particular playful. So one could say she was used to such stares, however something about it still just felt...strange. Ash watched as she looked away to the fight happening before them for a brief moment, so Ash allowed herself to glance down. It would seem a 2 on 2 fight was taking place...Wasn't that that Ash Slayer who fought this woman the previous day? Judging by the looks some of the people around her had, she assumed that two of the combatants were from Frenzy Plant. While the fight was interesting, once she heard Indigo talking once more she returned her attention to the woman. She seemed taken off guard by the questions Indigo now asked...she wasn't quite sure how to answer these. Were they a test? Letting out a small sigh Ash leaned against the railing now. "[color=9e0b0f]I'm not sure what I would do if someone threw a rock at me to be honest, it would probably burn up before it reached me anyway.[/color]" Ash replied with a small chuckle "[color=9e0b0f]I never had any 'friends'...however I wouldn't just stand there while my loved ones were in danger, I already did that once.[/color]" Ash added as she glanced down at the ground. She had to take a deep breath now just to calm herself, she had to keep her emotions in check otherwise her magic would go AWOL. "[color=9e0b0f]Submit myself huh? That's something I might struggle with. I don't like being ordered around, however if it is for the benefit of others I can swallow my pride.[/color]" Ash looked back up at her with fiery eyes now, trying but probably failing to match the intensity of Indigo's look. She wasn't about to let herself be intimidated by what this woman said, once Ash had made a decision she would follow through with it to the bitter end. "[color=9e0b0f]Overcoming weaknesses huh? I'm sorry to tell ya this, but my weakness cannot be overcome. It is simply how my magic operates. However if you want to manipulate it, try it as much as you want. I have counter measures.[/color]" Ash grinned widely before placing her hands on the railing, allowing her burgundy hair to fall over the edge. "[color=9e0b0f]The most powerful huh? I don't care if you're an army, a fight club, the most powerful or whatever. As long as I can grow stronger here to fulfill my goal that's all I care about.[/color]" Ash tightened her grip on the railing as she said this, her mind immediately drifting towards thoughts of her sister. She would kill her, even if she had to die doing so.
