[center][h3][color=aba000]~Sorcha~[/color][/h3][/center] The dragon sat in the water, letting out a long sigh as the cool water washed over her body. She rested her arms against the shore, leaning her body against it and her head on her arms. The cool water already was doing wonders for her mood. For a few moments she remained silent coming up with a reply. [color=aba000]"Thank you little one. Some days I swear my age is catching up with me, heh."[/color] She chuckled lightly before replying. [color=aba000]"It wasn't a matter of regret or not. The fact is, I could no longer be apart of whatever they were doing. Arthur had no need of me, and Merlin while he could have kept me around knew that it would be the best for both of us to let me go. I could have went after them, but it'd have only caused more problems, and I am fairly certain if I did, things would not have...went well, for me."[/color] Sorcha sighed, whatever she was implying there she didn't dwell on. [color=aba000]"In the end, I suppose no I don't regret it. Yes, it hurt at the time and years passed before I saw them again, but...it was well worth it, I think. I had grown a bit by then, and I was able to forgive myself for being such a foolish idiot, and I came to terms with what happened."[/color] [h3][center]~Cynthia~[/center][/h3] [b]"No."[/b] Cynthia replied curtly, sounding a bit harsher than she likely had intended. She was honestly just looking for something to talk about. Ah, she was messing this up completely, wasn't she? With a small, annoyed seeming huff she walked over to the desk to take a look at Mugi's progress. Well, she was doing...fairly well. If copying was going to take her this long though, she doubted she'd ever be all that skilled in the writing department. [b]"...You're slow."[/b] She replied, not trying to sound [i]too[/i] harsh and failing spectacularly. [center][h3][color=a187be]~Livia~[/color][/h3][/center] [color=a187be]"Ah? Really, was Fia being troublesome for some reason?"[/color] Livia asked, curious. She didn't feel anything was particularly off, but...well, it was probably nothing if the girl hadn't been in great distress. She'd have to talk to her later, though. A more important matter was at hand for the moment. [color=a187be]"Anyways, I may need you to watch over Maoin, Gwynn's previous familiar is all. I certainly can't do it and there is a certain risk she may...well, lets just say she's not the most emotionally stable at the moment and took Gwynn's leaving fairly hard. I believe she's fine for the moment - I have a few eyes on her. She's currently at the lake with Sorcha. I simply would like you to spend some time with her, and see if you can make her...comfortable." [/color] [h3][color=ec008c][center]~Myrilla~[/center][/color][/h3] [color=ec008c]"Haaa, Livia really needs to work on the security measures on keeping out little 'ole me. It's like she wasn't even trying."[/color] The demon lord chuckle lazily, placing a book back into it's shelf. Well, that was a slight exaggeration. She had to dismantle several locks, a number of seals made with her own blood, and even a fend off a few specters. Livia [i]really[/i] didn't like her, did she? Even after all the special moments the two of them shared, tsk. It was almost insulting. But ah well, thoughts for another time. Her current playmate was already here. The young noble, Swen walked into the library completely unaware of her presence. The doors closed behind him, though they didn't lock. As he moved through the shelves, looking for a book about his current target Myrilla simple watched from the upper floor, resting her arms against the railing. Eventually, he'd find the place where the book was supposed to be, but it'd be empty. Where was it? Well, right in her skilled hands. She'd keep watching for now, and wait for him to notice her.
