Sorcha blinked, and then gave a tired sigh. She picked up a rather troublesome little apprentice, didn't she? The dragon pushed herself up to a sitting position. Really, she wasn't in any condition or mood to really comfort the kitten in any manner, but as she agreed to teach her some things she did feel at least partly responsible for her. Sorcha walked over to the kitten, taking a seat next to her and wrapping a comforting wing around her while resting her own head on the kittens shoulder, careful to avoid her horns as usual. For a few moments, the dragon just sat there letting the kitten cry a bit. Sometimes that was what one needed to help feel better. After a few minutes though, the dragon finally decided to speak up.

[color=aba000]"Didn't I tell you I didn't want to hear that kind of talk from you?"[/color] The dragon gave the kitten a light bump on the head with her own. [color=aba000]"Truthfully little one, I am not all that well today so I am not exactly in the best position to advise you."[/color] She continued tiredly. [color=aba000]"But...perhaps you simply need to find a new master?"[/color] Sorcha replied with a soft smile. [color=aba000]"I don't mean to sound as though I'm telling you what to do, little one, but...perhaps you and this previous master of yours simply...weren't compatible? I remember my first master. A great wizard I admired greatly, as well as a fierce, young knight who I thought was the most courageous, bravest person in the world. High praise coming from a young, arrogant dragon."[/color] She chuckled lightly. [color=aba000]"Oh the times I wished he would just think about me more than a simple dragon used for scaring off the Saxons."[/color]

She shook her head as she continued.

[color=aba000]"In the end, they left me. It hurt, really. After everything I did for them - but really, it was for the best. I was too...much of a child, still. Merlin released me from the contract because I needed to...grow up a bit, learn how to...well, be more than a dragon. Arthur had someone else, anyways and I couldn't keep sticking around. In the end, I found someone I liked much more - though even that would prove to be short lived even as good as it was."[/color]

She fell silent once again after speaking.

[color=aba000]"...I do not mean to impose on you when you are currently in distress little one, but I am not feeling too well. Would you mind helping me over to the lake and getting out of this armor?"[/color]

Cynthia listened intently to Mugi. It sounded...well, if Cynthia had to be honest quite lovely. Much moreso than the country here, at least. Not that she didn't like it here, no, but from what Mugi described it was certainly an interesting place. She'd have to go visit some time...if she ever got some time off, that is. Well, more than a few days anyways. It'd be interesting to see what it was like. Now though...how could she continue this conversation? Mugi was living here already so she couldn't exactly enthrall her with tales of here. She supposed she could ask something a bit more personal but that would be...rude, wouldn't it?

[b]"It was. It sounds...lovely."[/b] Cynthia replied.

...and she was out of ideas how to continue the conversation.

Honestly, Livia tired. Not that she didn't mind dealing with the kitten or Gwynn, but ugh, she wanted today to be relaxing not...whatever it currently was. Well, at least now it was over and she could get back to doing whatever she wanted for the day. With a sigh, she walked into her home, unsurprised to find Katherine waiting for her.
[color=a187be]
"Katherine,"[/color] She said, giving the teacher a warm smile. [color=a187be]"Pleasure to see you here, dear. I wanted to talk to you about something, but I'm quite certain you already have an idea of that."[/color] The headmistress walked over to where her student was sitting, taking a seat next to her.
