[h3][center][color=aba000]~Sorcha~[/color][/center][/h3] The dragon clicked her tongue as Luna commented on her current pastime. [color=aba000]"Oh? What do you take me for an uneducated backwater dragon? Being well educated is standard part of being a good knight, and queen."[/color] The dragon closed the book she was reading, placing it upon a nearby table. [color=aba000]"I am a particular fan of history, considering I've lived through most of it and have more than quite a few tales to tale as well."[/color] Sorcha stood, walking over to Luna with a small smile. Well, might as well get right to the point then. No sense in beating around the bush when there was something to be done. [color=aba000]"Uhm...Luna,"[/color] Sorcha began with slight hesitation. [color=aba000]"I was perhaps wondering if you could take me to the phoenix-er, Fia. I would go myself, but after my quite unacceptable behavior, I fear that she might flee at the sight of me. And do not worry, I do not [i]intend[/i] to harm the girl..."[/color] her voice trailed off slightly as her gaze drifted downwards. [color=aba000]"..But If I am unable to control myself..."[/color] Either way it was necessary. She had to see. Had to see just how much the phoenix remembered. [color=8dc73f][h3][center]Gwynn[/center][/h3][/color] [color=8dc73f]"...have I ever told you I hate those uniforms?"[/color] Gwynn commented offhandedly as she turned on her heels, heading out the door. [color=8dc73f]"Anyways, come on Maoin! Adventure waits for no one!"[/color] She grabbed the kitten by the hand, practically dragging her out of the room and out the dorms, passing a slightly confused Lyssa who had tried giving them a best-friend hug but was promptly denied as they bolted out the door. Gwynn led the kitten from the dorms right to the training grounds, not giving the kitten much time to ask any questions and if she did, she'd be met with silence or told she'd find out when they got there. After bringing her to her usual training area, Gwynn released the kitten and turned to face her with a confident grin. [color=8dc73f]"Alright! So. Remember when I said I'm gonna teach you how to fight?"[/color] Gwynn asked, pointing at Maoin, the ring that swen bought her glowing slightly. [color=8dc73f]"Welp, hope you're ready, I'm not gonna pull any punches and I only teach through practical demonstration."[/color] From the ring, came a shortsword. The weapon was smaller than Gwynn's usual sword and was much lighter, designed to be used with a bit more finesse and agility than hers. Perfect for a cat, if she could train that cat to use her agility correctly in a fight. [color=8dc73f]"Here ya go."[/color] Gwynn held the weapon by its blade, handing the hilt to Maoin. [color=a187be][h3][center]~Livia~[/center][/h3][/color] Livia simply poked the doll on its forehead. [color=a187be]"None of your business, my student."[/color] Livia chuckled, turning to Fia. She pondered for a moment, a bit unsure as to what she should do here. Fia was definitely feeling down after what happened with Sorcha. She needed to help with that. [color=a187be]"Don't worry dear, you don't have to do anything else today if you don't want too."[/color] She replied with a soft smile, before looking over to the doll. [color=a187be]"...play with this if you want while I work. The dusty old thing is just taking up space at the moment."[/color] [b][center]~Kostis~[/center][/b] hmm... It shouldn't be too hard to spot him, especially on his way to class. From the report, the young noble sounded both dashing and heroic, just like him! They should get along well, then. So just look for an upstanding gentleman with a heroic stature and- AH There he was! Talking to some small...wolf girl? Well, he had an idea as to who that was. He wasn't a fool, no no, but he wasn't going to press the issue. The matter had been resolved and that was just the consequence of not being able to do it himself. Of course, that didn't mean he wasn't going to attempt to get on the young lords good side. With a confident stride and friendly smirk the lord approached Swen with a deep bow. [b]"Greetings! You must be Sir Magierprinz! Apologies if I am interrupting - allow me to introduce myself. Lord Kostis of Greece at your service!"[/b] He rose back to his full height, holding out a friendly hand for the young mage to take. [b]"Let me thank you personally for resolving that issue that I sought assistance for. Clete here tells me that you and your fiance performed quite exceptionally."[/b] [b][center]~Cynthia~[/center][/b] Cynthia had been following Kostis quietly since he left Livia's office. No doubt he was aware of her presence, he didn't seem the type to not be aware of something, but that was fine. She was not attempting to be overly stealthy. She was simply doing as she was told - make sure he didn't get into trouble and letting him know he was being watched...well. He likely wouldn't attempt anything. If he did, it was unlikely she'd miss it. She of course, didn't want to linger too long in one area. besides she had a few other errands to run. She'd hear of anything that Kostis tried anyways. That was her job, after all. Make sure she knew everything that was happening in the academy...and then an insect...a pup decided to run into her. [b]"Sketchy maid?"[/b] Cynthia looked down at the mutt that had run into her with obvious disdain. [b]"Mutt, I would keep your mouth shut if I were you, Or you'll have the most hellish bath of your life."[/b] And that was a threat she intended to keep as well. ...without Livia here to keep lid on her mouth, it seemed the Maid was much more...offensive. [b]"...However,"[/b] Perhaps this was something she could have the mutts assistance in, then? [b]"Perhaps you could assistant the Headmistress in a small matter."[/b] She had observed the mutt conversing quite a bit with Swen, who was also the target of Kostis at the moment. Perhaps this could be used, then? [b]"I will be willing to pay you in whatever it is...your smelly canine self wants."[/b]
