What ... did she mean by getting to involved with a teacher? Were the rumors about the teachers basically being like one of those instructional novels he read true? The mage wasn't certain, but he'd have to investigate. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/4cYfLG5.jpg[/img][/center] Damn. Either this woman was oblivious or she was hard to bargain with. The teacher guessed it was the second. But she might as well get the first possibility out of the way. [color=lightyellow]"Well headmistress, I will come back with more things to the table in the future. If possible, do the things I asked, the research should be beneficial to you. Perhaps next time, you can make a little time to discuss your research and future plans for the academy? And maybe talk a little about your familiar? I haven't seen the red head in a while, and as a medical professional I'm feeling a little concerned for her."[/color] If Aetheria didn't know what clear was, that would hopefully make it obvious. The white mage wanted a place on her inner circle, and damn she was curious why Livia would accept such a ... unstable spirit to serve her. It made little sense to her mind at least. There had to be some other way Livia benefited from the relationship. Was she secretly harvesting the girl? Rising from the chair, the white mage gave a short but respectful bow before turning the room and making her way out, staff taping the carpet softly as it did so. She'd need to turn her hypotheses into facts by then though. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/KDNoPCb.jpg[/img][/center] This. Was. Irritating. Pink hair pets kitty. Pampers kitty. Then stops. Then her mistress pets kitty. Pampers kitty. Then stops. Then her mistress and the cold hand pet kitty. Pamper kitty. Then stop. She didn't know what the jealousy was about, but damn she was sick of the lack of consistency it caused. It was costing the poor servant that had just pulled them a breakfast out of thin air, and she was having none of it. Animalistic eyes looked between the three of them, the girl's voice surprisingly hostile as she began to flail her arms and put them into their place. [color=darkslateblue]"I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHICHEVER WHORE IS JEALOUS! All of you - and I mean all of you - are going to pet me for the next ten minutes. All of you. At once. No talking. If you don't -"[/color] Maoin thought up the most lethal threat she could think of. [color=darkslateblue]"- you'll be forced to watch the others eat the delicious cookies am I going to bake afterwards. And I make the best cookies in heaven, earth, or hell, so you'd rather DIE than be forced to go through such hideous torture."[/color] The kitten was shaking a little bit afterwards, glaring at them expectantly. And damn it, she planned to follow through with that threat. Even her owner would see the same look, second only to the ones delivered at the library or the following aftermath. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/HuFvrKV.jpg[/img][/center] The phoenix began to walk next to ... the dog person. For a moment she questioned why she was being called 'red girl' but after hearing 'sword-woman' - probably Luna - and 'sketchy woman' - certainly Livia - being addressed she understood that it was probably just the dog-spirit's way of naming people. The amber eyes still were watering after the incident, but it was slowing down just a little. She was very curious about who this person was, and why she felt so ... warm. Like some sort of fire flickering in front of her. Like one of the ones in the office or at her house. [color=salmon]"... I ... I was ... wrong about ... my dreams ... that's all ..."[/color] In truth, that was probably the best way to describe it. She'd had a hope, a dream, tried to grasp it, and only felt it be rejected. She couldn't even make friends if she wanted to. Was she ... even worth anything at all to the dragon?
