Seeing the other girl sulk in her apparent rudeness, Aria giggled lightly and shook her head. It wasn’t that big of a deal and honestly the lost time was being made up now with their time spent together. But the extra sweets were always appreciated. [color=bc8dbf]“Well…I suppose I do tend to be biased towards doughnuts,”[/color] Aria admitted with hesitation before taking up a cup and sipping at it. By the grin on her face it was evident that Alice’s proclamation was not hyperbole. Taking what appeared to be a cookie as well, she didn’t notice Alice’s blush and darting eyes at the mention of Vincent. Something else had her attention. [color=bc8dbf]“Ifrit? That’s interesting,”[/color] said Aria, her features creasing to a frown as she immediately thought of Reiko. [color=bc8dbf]“I have an idea of where he’s gone to, yes. But it’s far out of the way. You see, he most likely visited my former apprentice. The World’s Strongest Mage…actually, I think she’s taken up residence in the Red Woods where the SSS-Rank mission is located in.”[/color] Before she could continue on, she noticed Kazuki walking up to her with someone new by his side. Raising an eye, she could sense that this girl wanted to speak with her about something. She glanced to Kazuki to hear his input first before turning to Orihime. [color=bc8dbf]"Greetings Orihime. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Aria, the Head Magister and leader of the Chasers. How may I help you this evening?"[/color] [hr] [center][@Shisa], [@rechonq], [@KoL][/center]
