Lanassa followed the elf grumpily. The whole argument with Shui had left an incredibly bad taste in her mouth. But there was no swaying her. Especially when it was this place that had offered her to help her with her problems, relinquishing them entirely was just not something she could do. Were those just buttered words to lure her here, like a honey trap? If so, they’d be looking for a new water sage relatively soon.  If they wanted her to take up such a huge task as sealing the dark lord, something that sounded scarier the more she thought about it, then there’d be something in return. 

The landscape they entered didn’t do too much to brighten her mood either. This was mainly because of that castle they could see from afar. Lanassa never was much of  a fan of the color black, and this castle had a lot of it.  The gold made it a little bit better, but for some reason the gothic look gave her the impression she was still in tenebra despite the sunny fields. It wasn’t a secret that she didn’t like Tenebra, the demons had some sort of… evil stink to them. She, much like most others of her race, couldn’t stand it. The demon chosen to be a sage felt somewhat different, though. She seemed a lot more… kind.

In her absent-mindedness, it came almost as a surprise to her that they had already entered the university. Something she basically only realized once Idris and some other elf, apparently named Kailu, started fighting in front of her.  Maybe if she was in a better mood this fight would’ve been a spectacle to behold. Right now, however, this bickering just got on her nerves even more. She nearly shouted in praise to the water spirit when the fighting finally ended, but she managed to barely contain herself. She silently followed the warlock to the end of the castle, where her new home would be located. 

Lanassa was anything but pleased with the way the rooms were divided, as if she didn’t have enough reasons to be displeased  yet. Today just seemed to pile up all kinds of unpleasantries for her. She wouldn’t really have minded being roomed with the rather cute half-elf, the human and her accessory, the tree hugging elf or the somewhat, somehow adorable demon… but no, she got the tantrum-throwing snake with his smelly bear pet.  She wasn’t sure exactly how long she would be able to stand the hissing before she strangled the guy.  Lanassa normally wasn’t so… irritable, but today had kind of taken its toll on her.  On any other day she might’ve tried to socialize with some of the others. But really, she just wanted to be left alone for now. ‘Not too long after the serpent had rushed off in anger, she silently made her own exit. 

As she headed inside, she was greeted with the image of Morpheus holding his ‘pet’ and muttering. She sure hoped he wasn’t talking about her when he said [b]“Damn woman”[/b]. She figured it’d be about Idris. But honestly, she wasn’t in the mood to care about his troubles. She glanced at the duo with a somewhat condescending glare, then turned away.  [color=00aeef][b]”I’m going to take a bath.”[/b][/color] She said, her tone aa irritated as she truly was. [color=00aeef][b]”Please keep that thing off the couch. I am not cleaning all the fur it’s going to leave behind.”[/b][/color] Not even waiting for an answer, she opened the door to the bathroom and locked it from the inside. She turned on the hot water and let the bathtub fill as she undressed herself. Maybe a nice, long, warm bath was what she needed to brighten up. She realized she had been rather mean to the wereserpent, but she really did not care at the moment. It wasn’t as if he had been particularly good-mannered towards her either in his little anger tantrum. For now, she just drowned herself in the warm bathwater. Even more than Nymphe, the water was her home. And everyone knew there was no better place to lift your spirits than in your welcoming home. She relaxed, and slowly let all her thoughts flow out of her into the water.
