[b]Arthur Shows Up Halfway Through[/b][/center]

The moment Lyssa started pouting about familiars, the goddess was concerned about the fact that she was going to be getting an offer. When the hellion changed the subject though, the Phoenix was a little surprised. [color=salmon][i]Touchy, not incompetent ...[/i][/color]




A little surprise ran across the red haired girls face as Lyssa handed over the cake. Iravis quickly regained her composure though, a single thought running through her mind. [color=salmon][i]Loyal as well ...[/i][/color] If the Phoenix could keep Lyssa from being too touchy, the demoness would make a good follower. But first ...




[color=salmon]"Allowing food to spoil is indeed wasteful."[/color] The goddess made the wall into a temporary throne, reaching in to grab the cake. [color=salmon]"You have me at a disadvantage though. You are knowlegeable of the powers I possess, but I know nothing of what you hold."[/color]




The goddess took a bite of the cake, and she admitted to herself that it was indeed tasty.




Lyssa was glad that Iravis seemed to enjoy the cake. She offered a bright grin as she was asked a question next.




[color=f6989d]“Well, if excessive adorability is a power, then I possess tons of it~”[/color] Lyssa giggled mischievously in response, before deciding to give a proper reply. The best show of one’s abilities, were by example! So, she just needed something that she could use an example. Piece of paper or something...Ah. The dorm assignment sheet.




She reached into her pockets, pulling out the piece of paper. [color=f6989d]“See this paper? Of course ya do~”[/color] Lyssa replied, still wearing a slightly mischievous grin. A flash of red, and the paper completely vanished into tiny scraps of paper. [color=f6989d]“Poof, gone!~”[/color] she giggled.




[color=f6989d]“I’m an alchemist! But instead of creating things, I use my knowledge of chemistry and elements to disrupt the bonds between elements and particles. Basically, I can destroy anything as long as I can touch it, and know what it’s made of.”[/color] There, that was a good enough answer, then. [color=f6989d]“Ooh, I’m also a trained martial artist! But uhm, I don’t really like fighting a whole lot,”[/color] She added, her grin turning into a slight frown. [color=f6989d]“So I uhm, don’t really use…uhm, my physical abilities a lot.”[/color]




The goddess, despite her many years in this world, had no idea what that paper was made of on a chemical basis. So the four-thousand year old woman had to concede that this girl was fairly smart as well, and possessed a rather unique and destructive magic.




Pacifism though? That could prove to be a problem for the first member of her religion. Another bite of the cake though, and the seventeen year olds smile spread. [color=salmon]"That's a rather impressive resume. A dislike of violence though? Why?"[/color] Some dissaproval entered the tone of the Phoenix as she questioned the hellion.




Lyssa fidgeted uncomfortably at the question.




[color=f6989d]“W-well…”[/color] She hesitantly began. [color=f6989d]“Violence is bad, isn’t it?”[/color] She replied simply. It was obvious there was more to it than that, but the demon didn’t seem too keen on speaking about it further, unless Iravis asked.




Perhaps it would be a good idea to spend some more time before trying to change the future servant's life for the better. For now though, a change of subject. [color=salmon]"The use of another's lustful gaze is less sinful than violence, I agree."[/color] This was a reference to the demon's early claim of being adorable ... which wasn't entirely false. [color=salmon]"One must be curious though ... four of us in that space ..."[/color] The Goddess shuddered slightly, obviously uncomfortable with being that close. [color=salmon]"... the bed. I claim half of it."[/color] It was hard to tell if Iravis was being serious or not.




Oh, good, she wasn’t going to make her talk about it. Lyssa mentally sighed in relief, a small breath escaping. She would have if she asked, but well, it wasn’t something that she was going to…well, enjoy doing. Her demeanor did a complete 180, though, the moment Iravis brought up half of the bed.




[color=f6989d]“H-half?!”[/color] Lyssa replied, a bit surprised. [color=f6989d]“But you’re so warm! I’m not sure I could keep my hands off of you~”[/color] Lyssa teased with a giggle. [color=f6989d]“Buuut, I suppose I can always just snuggle the others. Mugi is adorable anyways, and Katie looks like she’d be fun to snuggle.”[/color] Lyssa continued, before giving her a mischievous smile.




[color=f6989d]"If you’re [i]that[/i] really that against it…I could…be persuaded to…keep both of them occupied on the other half~”[/color] The demon finished with a giggle.




Well that went better than expected. This girl seemed to understand that a goddess needed her space. Of course, the mortal obviously requested something in return, the fickle heart needed something immediate in return for servitude. [color=salmon][i]Play along for now.[/i][/color]




So Iravis decided to respond to the giggling girl, requesting what she wanted in exchange. [color=salmon]"What does my noble servant need in exchange?"[/color] She tried to maintain an aloof and buisness-like air. She failed, obviously a bit excited at the moment.




Noble servant? Well, whatever that meant, but she’d play along because it sounded fun.




[color=f6989d]“If…your noble servant requested a hug, would she get burned?”[/color] She giggled, before pausing for a moment, taking a little more serious tone.




[color=f6989d]“Hmm…what would I want?”[/color] She hummed, obviously thinking a bit hard about what she wanted. [color=f6989d]“Well, there is a ball coming up in a few days.”[/color] Lyssa replied, a little more seriously. [color=f6989d]“And I’m all for parties. Especially with drinks. Buuut, going alone would be kinda silly. So. How about you come with me?~”[/color]




Iravis blinked a few times in response to the final question. The girl was being serious. A blush ran across the seventeen year old's face, and soon her skin was closer to the element she wielded than the original pale tone. Fingers went together as thoughts ran through her mind ...




Well, she had been a good servant, and it would give her half the bed, and going alone wouldn't be worthy of a goddess....




[color=salmon]"... Sure ... of ... of course! I require my retainers!"[/color] The blush hadn't dissapeared yet. [color=salmon][i]Merciful Ra, have mercy on me now, and destroy me.[/i][/color]




Lyssa smiled, rather mischievously. Whether she was actually finding Iravis adorable when she was flustered, or just happy that she said yes, was difficult to tell.




Arthur meanwhile was just entering view. Classroom aflame he had left, his students would be fine, they knew what they were getting into when they signed up for a pyromancy class anyways. Arthur assumed they had signed up at least, be a shame if someone got mixed up and thought they were in a class about math or something

Regardless Arthur walked towards the dorms, the female ones in particular. As Arthur thought before it was a shame Iravis wasn't at the class, the reasons she wasn't there obvious, and the fact that she may need to be cheered up after what was surely a lovely chat with the headmistress. Arthur then mentally reminded himself that he didn't need to remind himself what he was thinking about less than five minutes ago. Regardless Arthur easily spotted Red, and it looked like she had a friend. Demon? Most likely.




Getting within talking distance Arthur said, [color=maroon]"Hello there, having a good day you two?"[/color]




Lyssa turned her head towards the somewhat familiar voice. He was a teacher, wasn’t he?




[color=f6989d]“Ehe, yep. I got to eat delicious cake and met a bunch of new friends!”[/color] The demon giggled, not mentioning the date she had just gotten out of Iravis.




[color=f6989d]“So…you’re a teacher, right?”[/color] Lyssa asked. [color=f6989d]“Uhm, I don’t remember your name, ehe. I probably, uhm, fell asleep during class~”[/color] She chuckled nervously.




The Phoenix looked down as Arthur approached, seeming to get more embarassed now that he was here and not responding to his question coherently.




[color=maroon]"it's fine, my classes tend to be quiet boring anyways. People only get set on fire once in awhile, hardly a way to learn properly. I am Arthur Wick, your name?"[/color] Arthur asked.




[color=f6989d]“Lyssa Nemorienne!”[/color] Lyssa cheerily replied. [color=f6989d]“Yeah, I remember your class. Kinda. Mostly the time where my face decided the desk was kissable.”[/color] She giggled. By that, she meant she had whacked her head against the desk while she was asleep.




[color=f6989d]“Just call me Lyssa! Nice to meet ya, Mr. Wick.”[/color] She offered a friendly smile. [color=f6989d]“Say say, I have a question! Those doughnuts you gave out were delicious! Where’d you get ‘em from?”[/color]




[color=maroon]"Be careful with those desks, they're full of splinters. Not very high quality, but they also burn rather well. Concerning nuts of dough though, I get them from a pleasant little place in America, California. Buy them in bulk whenever I get a chance to go. Thinking about it my stockpile is starting to get a bit low I'm going to need to buy more in a few months. Hmm...[/color]




Arthur would then completely change gears to say, [color=maroon]"Iravis you okay? How'd the chat with Livia go?"[/color]




Iravis looked up after that, seeming to have recovered a little after Lyssa had distracted him. [color=salmon]"I am in good health, Sir Wick."[/color] The goddess delivered a curtsy in his direction. For a moment, the Phoenix debated whether or not she should reveal more details in front of Lyssa, built decided that her loyalty to Arthur was worth more than keeping a servant in the dark temporarily. 




[color=salmon]"The woman wants me to teach. Children."[/color] She stated this as if it was the most ridiculous thing to ever occur.




[color=maroon]"That sounds hellish. No offense to present company meant."[/color] Arthur said. [color=maroon]"If you need any help I'll be here of course. Anything else of note happen yet today for you two?"[/color]




Iravis at that moment prayed that Lyssa wouldn't say anything.




[color=f6989d]“Well, I got to take my roommates out for cake! It was delicious!”[/color] Lyssa replied. So Iravis’ job was to teach children, then! Well, she could definitely help! She was good with children. Probably. She at least didn’t mind them.




Anyways.




[color=f6989d]“Other than that, deciding if I should go to class tomorrow, or sleep in, and finish my conquest of France!~”[/color]




Arthur nodded slowly, [color=maroon]"If you have my class, attend. Otherwise, figure out who the teacher is. If they are sane, continue your conquest of France, then for good measure stomp on to Spain and wipe them off the map for me."[/color]




Lyssa gave Arthur a military salute as he spoke, 




[color=f6989d]“Aye aye, Captain! I shall make those Frenchies tremble before the might of the armies of Lady Demon Candy!”[/color] Lyssa snickered, before loud laughter erupted from her. It took her a few moments to catch her breath and reply further.




[color=f6989d]“Ahaha, hey, you’re not so bad for a teacher.”[/color] Lyssa said, still giggling a bit. [color=f6989d]“I think I will attend your classes.”[/color]




[color=maroon]"So, anything needed? I could get away with a few hours if I am required. Otherwise I suppose I'll just go home."[/color] Arthur asked.




The red haired girl shook her head, then paused. [color=salmon]"What should a teacher do to disobedient little ones?"[/color] If she was going to do this, they would need some discipline.




Arthur mused over the question for a time, [color=maroon]"It would be bad form to incinerate them, parents tend to hate that. Reason I'm teaching people old enough to offer consent and what-not. I personally feel the best way would be to be kind to them normally, let them get away with things, and then the moment they cross the line take away that kindness and be strict. The moment the child in question realizes their mistake and begins to act favorably again return to them the kindness."[/color] Arthur would then shrug, [color=maroon]"Then again my normal teaching methods get people burnt so maybe my advice would be best taken with a degree of salt."[/color]




Even a goddess needed advice, so she took mental notes of what her savior was saying. [color=salmon]"You advice will be used, Sir Wick. Wish me luck though, I'll need it."[/color] Smiting disobedient children did sound like a good pasttime, though.




[color=f6989d]“Waaah, teaching can’t be that hard.”[/color] Lyssa replied. [color=f6989d]“I mean, just don’t be mean and make sure they don’t get up to no good and it’ll be fine.”[/color] The demon said, adding her own two cents into the discussion. [color=f6989d]“Ehe, not that I would really know. I never really got along with the other kids a whole lot~”[/color] She chuckled.




[color=salmon]"If I need it, I'll be sure to call on you for aid"[/color] It was clear she was skeptical. She turned to look towards Arthur. [color=salmon]"I know I skipped out on our training today. Apologies."[/color] She gave a slight curtsy as well. It had been an expected absence, but still one nonetheless.




Arthur raised his hand, saying, [color=maroon]"Think nothing of it, it was the first day of school and I was just as busy as you were. What's one day in the scheme of things anyways, not like either of us were suddenly going to go super saiyan today or anything."[/color] Arthur would laugh, before adding, [color=maroon]"Though if that would have happened today then it is a shame we missed it, then again towering blonde hair wouldn't suit either of us..."[/color]




[color=f6989d]“Pfft, towering blonde hair suits everyone!”[/color] Lyssa replied cheerfully. [color=f6989d]“I mean, really! I’d look great with it.”[/clor] The demon said with her usual enthusiasm, she didn’t ask about the training. Obviously, since they were both Pyromancers, it had to do with that! [color=f6989d]“Eheh, you’re really not a half bad teacher, are ya?”[/color] Lyssa said to Arthur. [color=f6989d]“I’ve never met a teacher who was remotely interested in video games and anime stuff.”[/color]




She wasn’t one much for anime, really, but people who didn’t like or at least know of DBZ weren’t people. They were aliens masquerading as humans – she’d have to get her X-Com squad ready to annihilate them one of these days.




[color=maroon]"Have you ever asked any of your teachers about their hobbies? Then again maybe you have been cursed with boring instructors up until this point in your life who am I to say? I think you and I will get along well Lyssa."[/color]




[color=f6989d]“Totally,”[/color] Lyssa replied. [color=f6989d]“We should play DnD sometime! Ooh, maybe Smash bros! I'll kick your butt~”[/color] She confidently stated.




[color=maroon]"Now that is a claim. Me and Ike are ready any time then."[/color] Arthur said. [color=maroon]"That said, I suppose I should be off, unless there was anything else?"[/color]




The goddess shook her head. [color=salmon]"Thank you for your time, Sir Wick."[/color]




Arthur gave a short bow to Iravis, [color=maroon]"Tis next me meet, both of you."[/color] Mr. Wick would then turn and walk away towards the town. Home seemed like a safe bet, bed would be good. Nothing like going to sleep early for the hell of it.




[color=f6989d]“Byyyyye!”[/color] Lyssa waved after the teacher.




[color=f6989d]“So, I guess I’ma head back to the dorm for a bit. See if anyone else is there.”[/color] The demon said, walking over to the brick wall and grabbing her laptop, turning to Iravis. [color=f6989d]“Unless there’s anything else you wanna do? I’m not really tired, so sleeping is kinda…eh.”[/color]




Iravis shrugged. This would be a good time to discuss arrangements for their date, and perhaps lay down and read a book. [color=salmon]"I'll return as well, I have books to read."[/color]
