"You're probably right... " Vashi murmured as she eyed Mei with a look of concern, before she produced a small rag from her bag as she cast a light frost spell on it. Holding it over Mei, she gently placed it over her targeted shoulder. The cold should presumable help ease any discomfort and help with recovery, and probably make her wake up sooner, following the logic of the age old tradition of showering someone fast asleep with an ice cold bucket. [i]"Mistress made me do that one too many times... at least she saw some use with my magic."[/i] However, as much as she wanted to stick around Mei, there was also the fact that they were currently in a highly dangerous workshop that could only be described as an alchemical tinderbox that threatened to blow up without a warning at any moment! It was time to find the complaint department... "Miss Gnome, I must have a word with you!" Vashi finally got to her feet, her trinkets and baubles clattering about as she turned around to track down the group. However, before she could find that abject Gimpsy, she would overhear the conversation between Liaena and Sharon. Pausing, Vashi's eyes suddenly darted between Mei, Liaena, and Sharon, only to rest at the black haired girl. With a ponderous look passing over her face for a moment, she suddenly raised a smile at Liaena as she curled a pair of fingers through her turquoise blue hair suggestively. "I... may have a subject sample." Vashi added with a surprisingly casual tone, her eyes innocently drifting off to the side as she spoke towards Liaena. * "Grrrrrr.... " "Oh, for the last time, I've told you time and time again, the kitchen is off limits!" Miss Collinz tone could suddenly be heard across the devastated kitchen as the elderly woman stepped into it, carrying a heavy iron cauldron filled with boiling stew as she gave the giant, purple face of Serphia currently wedged in the room a stern look. "Look at this mess! Half the kitchen is gone! How will I ever complete the evening desserts?!" "Wha... " *BOP* Having just put down the cauldron, Miss Collinz gave Serphia's huge face a bop on the nose with her ladle. Two huge, silvery eyes blinked in perplexing down at the small human. Had this weak, little & minuscule humie just attacked her with a kitchen utensil?! ... [i]"Well, she does make quite good food."[/i] A brief, inner dialogue suddenly occurred within Serphia's mind as she considered the recent offense. However, she decided to let it slide. The human DID have her uses. And she was quite good at them to booth! "My apologies, Master of the Kitchen. I am currently saving this mansion." Serphia apologized, a heavy tone of hesitation in her voice, which was as close to a genuine excuse as a human could ever expect from the currently oversized, giant Captain. "However, if you ever need a reference in the future, you can add me! I commend you on your wor,- " "[color=ed1c24]And here comes the ROUNDHOUSE KI,-[/color]" " ... sorry, I need to take this!" And as Malizia's booming voice could be heard throughout the house, the giant Serphia would throw herself back out of the house and spin around, narrowly deflecting a roundhouse kick from Malizia's hoof that disintegrated at least two guest rooms in Sharon's mansion, before the Captain kicked horizontally at Malizia's remaining foot, swiping it out from beneath her as the giant demoness came crashing down with a loud bang! "It's round two, bitch!" Serphia sneered as she threw herself at her fallen foe!
