Alright, the hellhound was speaking [i]really[/i] strangely at this point.  There hadn't even been a good insult since this morning.  And the only reference to food was calling him 'meal-ticket', but that was an expected title at this point, sadly.  Along with 'Magierprinz' and 'Zaberbuch'.

And hell, maybe he was being superstitious for some reason, but this beast came from the pits of fire herself, didn't she?  In a joking tone, he looked towards the puppy with a put on smile.  [color=gray]"You don't mean that literally, do you?"[/color]  It was too damn early in the morning for these pranks, and he didn't really want to put up with them.

The kitten listened to the headmistress, frowning as the track record was mentioned but respectfully waited until it was obvious she was finished speaking before bothering to reply.  [color=darkslateblue]"Of course, give me just one second."[/color]  Maoin started to brew some tea, allowing a pot of water to boil slowly, although she willed it to go faster so the headmistress wouldn't be left waiting.

It was a bit odd though.  Why would her mistress ask to talk to the headmistress ... and if so, why wasn't she here?  And the woman didn't even seem remotely upset her owner had totally failed academically.  [color=darkslateblue]"I never hoped my mistress would make A's ... I just think she deserves the head start in the world a degree can give her.  I ... I really just want the best for her."[/color]  A glance down at the bandages on her arm though spoke otherwise though.

[color=darkslateblue]"Though ... I've been too selfish recently.  My lady was upset with me last night - which I deserved but ..."[/color]  The kitten paused for a few seconds, mustering courage and trying to remember the words from the previous night.  She had left a note saying she was out training, and she promised she wouldn't leave.  She'd be back soon, surely?  [color=darkslateblue]"... she should be back soon hopefully ... and I really wanted to talk to her anyways."[/color]

The kitten shook her head.  The headmistress wasn't interested in her problems, she was here to talk ... at her mistress' request?  [color=darkslateblue]"Anyways, I hope my mistress gets back soon.  I think it's rather rude to leave the headmistress waiting, personally."[/color]  Maoin passed the cup of tea over to Livia, placing it on the table in front of her, obviously a little irritated with her absent owner for leaving someone so important waiting around.  [color=darkslateblue]"Although ... I hope she's alright.  If it's not private, perhaps I could save some time and pass the reply back to her?"[/color]  Playing messenger wasn't entertaining business.

The crimson haired girl looked up at the maid with confusion, still a little curious about why she hadn't been given the day off, and wondering slightly where Livia was.  Had she angered the woman by barging in yesterday?  Was everything alright between them?

Kathrine started talking about the shennagins as well, so it seemed like she wasn't the only spectator in there.  Still though, a slight flush ran over the phoenix's face as she looked towards the maid that was trying to instruct her.

Cynthia was straight up gone, and Fia had been assigned to help her, but based on the way she was hurrying up the staircase implied that it wasn't important.  [color=salmon]"... I'll ... go to bed ..."[/color]  And with that, the girl ran away from this unfamiliar maid and into the bedroom, wondering what exactly was going on.
