[color=a187be]"She's...everything?"[/color] Livia scoffed. [color=a187be]"What are you, a child obsessing over some fictional hero? A religious zealot who can't live without his silly god?"[/color] It was quite clear that Livia was not approving of Maoin's thought. That said, if this was how the kitten felt there would likely be little she could do to change it. People like Maoin who were clearly [i]obsessed[/i] with something could only accept the harsh reality once they saw it for themselves. [color=a187be]"At least they actually [i]try[/i] and aspire to be something for the one they serve. You, though?"[/color] The headmistress walked over to the kitten, giving her a cold glare. [color=a187be]"You put her on a pedestal and made her out to be something she wasn't. What have you done but make Gwynn's life harder for her? Oh certainly she's a fool sometimes and not entirely blameless in this situation, but at least she [i]tried[/i]. You didn't even do that, did you? And now you just wallow in self pity. You're not even going to try, are you? Pathetic. You could at least try and go after her, couldn't you?"[/color]

Livia stopped speaking giving the kitten a moment to reply if she would, at all.

[b]"You're correct. It is horrible. A child could do better."[/b] Cynthia wasted no time in helping her, however. Swiftly, and elegantly she took the pen from Mugi and wrote the entire upper and lowercase alphabet on the paper under Mugi's attempt. The difference was quite obvious. Where the Yuki-Onna's was crude and inelegant, Cynthia's was the opposite. The letters flowed neatly, and were written swiftly and smoothly. [b]"This is the alphabet. I can assume you do not know proper written grammar either, correct?"[/b]

Cynthia went on to explain the basics of each of the letter sounds, as well as writing the brief pronunciation and phonetic structure of each letter very briefly. It took a few minutes of writing, but eventually she was done. She liked to think she was doing a good job - but she did have her doubts. Practice would help Mugi quite a bit more than simply observing, as with anything.

[b]"Hm...I think the first step would be to memorize the entire alphabet."[/b]

[color=6ecff6]"T-the restricted section? Oh, uhm...do you have a reason for it?"[/color] Miren asked, shifting uncomfortably.[color=6ecff6] "I'm less worried about you harming the books there - a few of them could easily defend themselves, but uhm, there are things in some books there the headmistress has deemed-eep!"[/color]

Before she could finish speaking, the wolf was upon her. Miren froze on the spot, eyes going wide with fear as the hound hugged her before she could get away. Every instinct in her body was telling her to flee, but she couldn't. She had a job here and as scared as she was she couldn't run.

[color=6ecff6]"Y-yes I'm a soft innocent little bunny bun and please let me go before soft innocent bunny bun dies of fright."[/color] Oddly enough though, the hound felt...incredibly warm. Like a warm fire place or somewhere safe she could possibly take a nice nap in. But that was a silly thought. This hound probably just wanted to make her adorable life quite a bit shorter.
