Not that there was any sensible point in backing away - the woman would likely just teleport behind him once more if she wanted to get close. And he probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it. But there was one thing he might be able to do, which was upright deny any sort of trade with this woman. There was no way this could possibly end well for him, and so long as that book was his the magierprinz was fairly certain of his victory.

I have no interest in selling my soul to a lord of sin."[/color] The heir was truthfully surprised at how steady his voice remained, because internally he was hoping she wouldn't notice him backing towards the door out.

Sure, it was easy to deny a kitty, but a grand dragon? Even the headmistress would respect her words! Lady Sorcha would find herself hugged tightly by the kitten, who seemed somewhat relieved. [color=darkslateblue]"Please Lady Sorcha!"[/color] The kitten's words seemed a little excited, almost like a child was told that they would be getting a new toy. Of course, the entire day had been terrible for her but this little beacon of light returned a resemblance of the kitten's energy, ears twitched under Sorcha's nose as she was embraced. Soon though, the girl let out a small yawn, leaning her head against the dragoness. [color=darkslateblue]"... thank you ..."[/color] She wasn't falling asleep, but a yawn made it clear the emotional strain of the past hour was getting to her.

Didn't they already have a bath house? And didn't the headmistress say she preferred it in private? It was rather obvious Fia was confused, but she remained silent as she waited for the group to leave.
