	With her mistress and Lightsword becoming friends, Maoin decided to be silent, nod, and enjoy the light pettings as the two noblewomen conversed.  It wasn't really her place to have friends with a mortal as a familiar - it was her job to devote as much as she could to Lady Gwynn, and her mistress CERTAINLY needed that time.  However, it was nice to see her mistress acquiring friends, and the kitten hoped that would make her charge happier to be at St. Sappho.

[color=yellow]"Oh, but you two happened to be in a rush were you not?  Oh my, was it time for a class?  It seems to have slipped my mind."[/color]

	Maoing was about to reply in the affirmative, but her train of thought was interrupted as a euphoric feeling filled her.  It was possible to resist the light touches of a soft petting, but this sort of attention was irresistible, and suddenly the rest of the world stopped mattering.  The black haired girl's head tilted into Gwynn's hand, ears twitching happily and her tail swishing back and forth without a care in the world.

	Suddenly, she was pushed forward into the armored woman.  Gwynn had disappeared into the crowd, and the kitten knew it would be difficult to find her charge even with her advanced hearing.  Standing only two inches above five feet, she couldn't see over the heads of Gwynn's fellow students.  [color=DarkSlateBlue][i]I've been had ...[/i][/color]

	Totally unaware that Gwynn had actually gone to class, the familiar began to panic.  Maoin believed Gwynn's parents would be upset to find out their daughter skipped class, and felt betrayed because the kitten believed they had a deal.  The day's frustration culminated in a few moments, and Maoin's eyes began to water as a few tears ran down her face.  She looked up to Lunalel, trying to see if the knightess had noticed her 'friend' leaving.  [color=DarkSlateBlue]"Did ... did you see where my mistress went?"[/color]

	Maoin's animalistic features expressed her mood, tail somewhat between her legs and ears flat on her head.

	Swen's eyes continued to observe the garbage, but his three years here had taught him to observe his surroundings periodically.  Glancing to his right, the Prince saw a pretty blonde girl in a green dress looking at him.

[color=8dc73f]"So, what ya reading there?"[/color]  The woman began to reach for the book.

	A small blush ran across the nobleman's face, but after reading through this novel that completely contradicted every chivalric virtue he had been taught, he decided that perhaps it would be a good time to ask for advice from a member of the opposite sex themselves.

	The Magierprinz placed the book into her hand and responded honestly.  [color=gray]"I have a date tonight and was looking for advice ..."[/color]  Seeing her amber eyes, the nobleman faltered for a moment in embarrassment.  This woman certainly caught his eye.  Still, if it was for his future love he would be willing to look ignorant in front of this woman.  [color=gray]"... but I'm new to such things, and decided to turn to the library ..."[/color]

	The heir of the princely state gulped before gathering his courage.  [color=gray]"... but after reading such unfiltered narrative, I'm convinced it might be time for me to simply ask for help from a woman ..."[/color]  He awkwardly gestured towards the noblewoman, indicating that he was asking this of her.  There was still a few minutes before class started.  [color=gray]"... if it's not too much trouble, could I have your aid in this matter?"[/color]

It was for love.
