[center][h3][color=aba000]~Sorcha~[/color][/h3][/center] [color=aba000]"Aha, I said I would try, but Livia is surprisingly stubborn even compared to a dragon sometimes."[/color] She chuckled. [color=aba000]"If I feel better tomorrow, I shall talk with her. For now though you should probably try and get some rest. You look absolutely exhausted little one."[/color] With a stretch and small flap of her wings, kicking up a bit of water the dragon gave her a gentle smile. [color=aba000]"Sleep here, if you wish. I likely won't be going anywhere for awhile...at least, not until I feel better, I'll wake you when I leave."[/color] [h3][center]~Cynthia~[/center][/h3] Wrong...idea? Cynthia's cheeks started turning the color of red as she realized what the Yuki-Onna was getting at. [b]"That is most certainly [i]not[/i] what I was thinking of you perverted [i]cretin[/i]."[/b] Cynthia replied quickly and harshly. [b]"I just...was...thinking about...how I could do this talking thing...better."[/b] If they were done with the teaching bit, she had the rest of the day off so they should go do something. [b]"...perhaps you'd like to visit somewhere on campus? Have you been to the baths? They are a little warm but there is a cool side bath for the familiars with a bit more...cooler tastes."[/b] She really probably should have suggested something other than that, but that was the default suggestion she went too if the headmistress was troubled by something. For uhm, various reasons. No ulterior motives at all. [h3][color=ec008c][center]~Myrilla~[/center][/color][/h3] [color=ec008c]"Tsk, so quick to deny me."[/color] She chuckled, the book Swen needed vanishing in an instant as little wisps of black particles disappeared into the aether. Myrilla took a step closer, leaning over slightly to be on a more even level with the young lord. She smirked, either amused or irritated though it was difficult to tell. [color=ec008c]"I don't want your soul. I have no need of a pathetic soul like yours. It'd barely be a drop in the pond, as they say. I could hardly do anything with it."[/color] She gave him an affectionate seeming pat on his cheek. [color=ec008c]"And try not to let the perfume go to your head, I had lust make it for me. It's surprisingly effective at making you funny little mortals quite...cooperative, heh~"[/color] She stood at her full height again, a cruel smile forming. [color=ec008c]"Though, I suppose sense you are disrespectful enough to try and walk out on me...you're not the type to be easily controlled, are you? That's good, it'll make this so much more fun."[/color] Her tone suddenly got much, much darker as she laughed. [color=ec008c]"Let me teach you a little respect, boy. If you're at least half decent as that disrespect of yours suggest, you won't die."[/color] Red energy crackled in the air around Myrilla, flowing along the ground until it reached Swen's feet. It was the only warning Swen would have before the ground beneath him began to twist and seemingly come alive. Pillars of earth shot into the air, twisting as easily as if they were water before slamming right down onto Swen. If it hit, it certainly wouldn't be enough to kill him, but it'd certainly break more than a few bones. Truthfully, this was a bit much but Myrilla was extremely stressed. Peaceful times recently meant she didn't exactly have all that many...outlets, for her aggression. Damn council and their urging for peace... [center][h3][color=a187be]~Livia~[/color][/h3][/center] [color=a187be]"Oh my, if the Elder Undine heard you saying that about her lake she'd do all sorts of fun things to you."[/color] Livia chuckled. [color=a187be]"I'll have you know that lake is likely the healthiest, most sparkling water in the entire world. All sorts of magical creatures live there if you were unaware katherine, dear, and they make a point to keep the water sparkling clean. It even has healing properties, from what tests I've run. But if you don't want to go to the lake, where else do you suggest we go? I suppose we could take a quick trip to somewhere using the teleportation services..."[/color] Truthfully, Livia didn't want to stray too far from the campus but...well, if her precious little student could suggest somewhere fun...
