The magierprinz nodded, a little surprised that he was the only person that had shown up.  Certainly there were a few people here at least as studious as himself ... right?  Perhaps it would be a little awkward, but he would be glad to wait and make sure he didn't miss a single day of class!  After three years here, the only class days that had gone by without him involved missions handed out by the school!  It was almost a point of pride for him.

Choosing a seat in the front row ... [color=gray]"I'll wait then to make sure class doesn't start.  What would we be learning about anyways?"[/color]  In a way, Swen was curious to see exactly how much of her teaching Kathrine actually planned out.

Aetheria looked at the headmistress as she appeared to soak in the information ... but Livia's gaze went on for just a bit too long, and knew that the woman was plotting something.  The teacher questioned if it was information that would be useful for her ...

[color=lightyellow]"... if there is something you know, or in some way this is useful, it is my responsibility as your employee to be of assistance and my responsibility as an academic to use that possible knowledge in my research.  Has the girl done anything that suggests otherwise?"[/color]  Of course, there was more information.  The woman had no intention of hiding what she had figured out, she simply wanted to be paid for the overtime in trust, favors, or wealth.

This was like playing catch with a bomb though.  She'd have to wary of angering Livia by requesting too much.  On the other hand, she wasn't a slave and this information was of little benefit to herself.

Maoin was glad that her mistress was concerned about keeping the sheets clean, but in truth she was fairly certain this was just a ploy to keep herself from watching a scene unfold.  The kitten largely ignored the remained of the banter as she began to feast on the food in force, chewing slowly and enjoying the flavors.  Fish went good with everything.

[color=teal]"Oh, but, if you are jealous like inferred, I can give a hug. Especially to Neko-Chan over there.  She's incredibly cute."[/color]  

The kitten looked up, a slight meow leaving her lips as she continued to chew.  Sure it was nice to be called cute all the time, but Maoin was starting to question if anyone ever took her seriously ... did they?  She didn't mind of course being petted, especially by her owner, but it didn't seem to make the noblewoman happy when others got too touchy feely.  It made sense with a little thought.  After all, she was her lady's pet, not theirs.  Even if she would never admit it, Maoin knew that her mistress enjoyed being her primary source for pettings and similar pampering.

There was only one way to counter this trend, and that was to fight fire with fire.

[color=darkslateblue]"You are cute too, Mugi."[/color]

Fia looked as the buried figure revealed themselves.  It only took a moment, but the crimson haired girl recognized the sleepy figure.  Aside from being a bit taller, having a slightly more aged face and tarnished draconic features ... and of course, a significantly larger chest, this was certainly the woman that had been appearing in her dreams.

The dragon's eyes were barely open when she started to lazily reply to her mistress.  For a few moments, Fia wished Livia would let her be this lazy.  It would likely be a much easier existence than the mountain of paperwork she constantly received.  The phoenix shot only a slight look over at Luna as the headmistress was called arguably reliable.  She wouldn't debate that.

However, upon being called out as a friend, the crimson haired girl made herself more visible by stepping just a bit further away from Luna.  The creature before her though ... before she could catch herself, she spoke probably the loudest and most coherent words in her entire life (which meant a solid average volume for most people.)
