[color=gray]"Yes Eith, she is cute. But could you please let her go so I could get into the library?"[/color] The mage put a small amount of effort into prying the puppy off of the librarian, putting a small amount of force in to ensure the hellhound got the message. Hopefully it wouldn't make her mad, but it was worth knowledge that could possibly save his life.

Maoin hesitated for a moment, then opened the door as she chased after the taller woman. It took a few moments, but she carefully constructed the arguments into her head before she started speaking. [color=darkslateblue]"I'd converse with her ... perhaps she left me ..."[/color] The kitten looked down, faltering as she spoke. It was hard to admit that, the words causing a pain in her stomach as if she was slightly sick. But she continued anyways, pressing onwards. [color=darkslateblue]"... but if I'm not hers, then I'm free to do what I want! I've made my decision."[/color] Maoin seemed extremely steadfast, then started working on the second point. [color=darkslateblue]"And I CAN fight. I'll have you know I fought a grand dragon and lived!"[/color] Perhaps that was a bit of a ... misrepresentation of the events that had occurred, but she wasn't about to stop here as she moved alongside the older woman. Her next words seemed more stern and serious, the teenager placing her unwavering will into them. [color=darkslateblue]"I'm stealthy, quick, and well balanced. I can pick locks as well, which I know she can't do. I can see in the dark as well, and have hearing far beyond hers. So I'd be an incredibly useful asset, and not having me along only increases the chances of her demise AND the chance of a failure. Unless that's what you want."[/color] This time, the girl stood picked up her walking speed, trying to keep up with the headmistress. [color=darkslateblue]"I'm clever enough to know I at least need a starting point. Look, I don't know what you want out of all this, what the objective is. I promise I won't get in the way of that ... and I'll promise you a favor in the future. Anything you want, so long as I can do it and it doesn't hurt Lady Gwynn."[/color] Maoin finished speaking quickly, taking a few breaths to give the headmistress a chance to interject.

After a bit though, the girl headed back downstairs with the doll, looking around for the headmistress' friend. If she was there, the nervous girl would walk towards her. [color=salmon]"... here ... found ... your ..."[/color] The doll was lifted into her hands, ready to be handed off to the older woman.
