Ellie can be quite tiring to deal with on a daily occasion. Her antics can sometimes give even me a headache,”[/color] Aria said, munching on her own doughnut. [color=bc8dbf]“But yes, you were called because of the Catalouger and his incessant desire to steal our Treasures….or something. Luckily I can rely on you to handle the problem effectively.”[/color] The Head Magister appreciated Alice’s assuring smile, glad that she could rely on the girl to get the job done. It was more than she could say about Ellie and even now she casted a wary eye on her familiar. Then Lucille arrived and announced her report to which Aria answered it with a smile and a nod. That was good; one mission was completed and she had a feeling the others were going smoothly. It was the right choice to have Lucille go to the temple. She had to wonder what happened to her partner before an expression of concern flitted across her face for but a moment. It always pained her a little to see Chasers lose their way and abandon the organization but she could do little about it now. What was done was done. But such depressing thoughts were soon stifled with a bloodcurdling shriek and Ellie screaming her head off. Suppressing a sigh to her overactive familiar, Aria blinked in surprise when Alice conjured up a cup of fresh, steaming tea. Taking the glass in her hand, she sipped it once before giving Alice a fanged smile even as she departed. [color=bc8dbf] “Thank you very much Alice. Please be sure to hurry back,”[/color] she said, sipping her tea all the more. She had faith that her Chasers could handle the issue without her interference, though it was concerning that a Youkai attack was occurring right outside her shop. What strange things were at play here....

She had to cling onto the bespectacled girl just to hold on though the use of her Synthese could have perhaps made things smoother. Still, she was surprised to find the both of them speeding along the desert paths of the Crimson Sky. So that was Haruka’s plan. [color=0072bc] “You’re assuming the time dilation is on our side,”[/color] Kiara pointed out calmly, hair flying back as the wind buffeted against them. [color=0072bc] “For all we know it could have been weeks back in the human realm while only a few minutes passed by here. And then your showing off wouldn’t really work now would it? Of course, I suppose I could just make the world forget about us and possibly stop the time dilation…but I know how you like to take risks.”[/color] Kiara sighed as they were so close to crossing the finish line. Honestly it was like she was answering these questions only to herself though that was to be expected when lingering around someone like Haruka. Still, the faster they could end this race meant more time for an actual date. Kiara leaned in, eyes narrowed as they sped towards the end goal of their destination.
