[color=fff79a][h3][center]~Tania and Lena~[/center][/h3][/color] [@Lady Athena][@Cherrywitch][@RabidAnubis] [hr] Was...this demon completely naive? Tania was in such disbelief that the bat thought these things were going to work she actually laughed and quickly earned a sharp poke from Lena but it was just so funny that she thought nobles would change just because. Besides, to her it sounded like she was just advocating that spirits be completely [i]servile[/i] to humans and others instead of just standing up to them and learning to stand on their own. Oh sure, it might sound nice in theory, but unless spirits could ever learn to stand on their own [i]without[/i] the aid of humans, with just their own power and united under one power - a leader who could make the humans understand them then all Vili was advocating was complete and utter servitude that likely wouldn't even work. What about a servant that messed up? What about a servant that wanted to leave to pursue another career? If the nobles relied too much on them for chores, when they [i]did[/i] want to try and go free and stand on their own, how did she expect the majority of nobles to act? The bat was more naive than Lena if she thought such things were going to work. At least Lena wasn't afraid to use force if she needed to to protect someone or achieve her goals, even if the elf didn't like using such things. She would have told her too, if the fox hadn't starting putting his own input in the matter. Tania had to say, he was right. They needed a leader. Perhaps she found an ally in an unexpected place? But before she could question it further Lena jumped out of her seat, almost dropping the teacup in the process. [color=fff79a]"E-eh! W-wait!"[/color] Lena stuttered out as Inari started to drag Faera away. [color=fff79a]"S-sorry! It's my fault I uhm, brought up a rather unpleasant topic didn't I?"[/color] Lena chuckled, cheeks flushing with embarrassment. She probably looked terrible to these people, didn't she? Why did she always have to put her own foot in her mouth at times like this? [color=fff79a]"I-I was just leaving anyways...I do have to stop by the forge tomorrow morning so u-uhm-"[/color] A small hand holding her mouth shut stopped her fumbling words. [color=a187be]"Hold up there, Lena. You're not goin' anywhere. Neither are you, foxy fox."[/color] Tania said with a huff. [color=fff79a]"B-but-"[/color] [color=a187be]"Lena, honestly. You want to get along with these people don't you? Stop selling yourself so short sometimes ya stupid elf. I'm pretty sure no one here dislikes you...well, aside from grumpy old man fox over there maybe."[/color] They were likely too busy hating her anyways. [color=a187be]"Besides, it's late and I'm tired. that perverted dwarf you work for can wait until tomorrow."[/color] [color=fff79a]"I-i mean, I guess?"[/color] [color=a187be]"And you foxy face...why don't ya stay for a bit? Pretty sure your human there wants to be friends too."[/color] Tania fluttered over to Lena's head, standing on it and placing her hands on her hips. [color=a187be]"So why don't we all just sit down, hold hands and be best friends and do...best friend stuff. Or whatever it is you people do with friends. I dunno, I don't wanna be friends with a naive bat brain."[/color]
