The cat simply looked up at her mistress, noticing she was seeming ... a little uncomfortable as she shifted slightly. After a year of serving her, Maoin had learned many of her owner's mannerisms and it was easy to tell that she was wondering what was going on. [color=darkslateblue]"Yes mistress, is something bothering you?"[/color] The kitten blinked a few times innocently and tilted her head, as if confused. Then suddenly she started talking about dancing as new drinks were placed down by her friend before she left again. [color=darkslateblue]"In an hour musicians will come and the dancing will start ..."[/color] A brief look around revealed more than one pleasant looking girl and more than one handsome lad at the other tables, along with several rather cute and fierce familiars. [color=darkslateblue]"... and it seems like there's a few people worth enjoying their company at home, mistress."[/color] A second later, Maoin leaned forward in her chair, pushing her lady's mug into her hands as she took a sip of water out of her own.

Livia started with polite conversation, but the dragon ... seemed a little peeved, at a minimum. She was constantly snarling and it would be easy to tell the attitude was making Fia a little nervous at best. Fia's eyes shifted across the desk nervously, as if her ambers were examining the papers on top of it. The question didn't seem to hostile, but it made the phoenix raise a question of her own. [color=salmon]"... remember ...?"[/color] She'd seen Sorcha before, yes, but those were just dreams, right? But remember ... implied that those things had actually somewhat occurred. The Phoenix looked at Livia for a moment before realizing that the woman wouldn't reveal anything she didn't already know. After a short pause, the phoenix began telling Sorcha what she wanted to hear in a quiet, nervous tone that was nothing like any of the myths the dragon had encountered. [color=salmon]"... dreams ... with you ...?"[/color] For a second the girl paused, twirling a few strands of her hair as her eyes gestured towards it. [color=salmon]"... blue haired reflected in a pond ... taking a bath ... relaxing afterwards ..."[/color] She closed her eyes, as if trying to piece things together. Truthfully, ever since becoming Livia's familiar the dreams were both less vivid and far easier to stand. [color=salmon]"Travels, talking ... you called me ... 'Irasacha' ... friends ...?"[/color] [color=salmon]"... A new companion ... a huntress ... you seem ... more mature ... now ..."[/color] For a few brief seconds, the girl paused. [color=salmon]"... that's it ...?"[/color] It would be hard for Livia or Sorcha to tell if that's all Fia knew as the girl seemed to be questioning it herself, but she looked up at this point with her amber eyes as if satisfied.
