[h3][color=a187be][center]~Livia~[/center][/color][/h3] [color=a187be]"The door is always open...usually, you know."[/color] Livia replied from her desk as Aetheria knocked on her door. It was a small truth at least. Unless something important came up she liked to try and keep her door open at all times. [color=a187be]"I was wondering what was taking you so long, Aetheria."[/color] She said as the mage entered the room. [color=a187be]"I was starting to think I would make more progress on my own."[/color] Not an entire lie either. Aetheria was good, of course, no doubt about that but she wasn't one to sit around and wait for something to happen if she could make it happen. [color=a187be]"So, what did you find, hm?"[/color] [h3][color=6ecff6][center]~Miren~[/center][/color][/h3] Mirens home, was actually inside the library. A small second story apartment one could get to through a side door in the building on the outside or after walking up a set of stairs behind the main counter near the restricted section or from the second floor of the main library. Livia insisted the room be there, as it would allow her access to the library on a moments notice. Not that she minded, she liked books, and generally liked being in the library. The Chimera yawned, stretching her arms as she walked to her desk. That redhead girl, Fia was there again today. Not that she minded, it was kind of adorable really, but she was extremely curious as to what the girl was even studying. Something about phoenixes and legends regarding that? The headmistress had given her permission to give her anything she wanted, even books from the restricted section if she had wanted it. Well, she could at least try making small talk. [color=6ecff6]"Erm, hello..."[/color] The rabbit cautiously approached the redhead, bunny ears perking up curiously. [color=6ecff6]"Fia, was it?"[/color] The first day of talking didn't exactly go so well. The bird was surprisingly shy... [h3][color=aba000][center]~Sorcha~[/center][/color][/h3] [color=aba000]"Oho, someone's been practicing? Or are you better at this whole thing than you let on?"[/color] The dragon chuckled, though her grin faded the moment she laid eyes on the doll. Katherine? For the love of Odin's grand beard...the dragon snatched it from the kitten's hands, frowning at it. It'd be easy enough just to crush it into many tiny little pieces, and probably would work out better for them in the end since Katherine might as well have been as close to a right hand henchman as Livia had. [color=aba000]"Katherine, sent...this...abomination with you, huh?"[/color] She mostly said that because she was fairly certain Katherine would be listening and she just wanted to be a little petty. She tossed it on the ground carelessly. [color=aba000]"Well, whatever. As long as it doesn't get in the way...alright. You mentioned you didn't exactly have much so I took the liberty of gathering a few things."[/color] Sorcha said, walking over to the lakeshore, a medium sized pack filled with supplies was laying next to the shore. [color=aba000]"A few camping supplies, and since winter is coming a cloak for you, as well. We'll be heading west to the ocean, and if we're lucky we can travel there quickly enough. Don't worry about carrying it either, I can carry a hundred of those without any problems, and still have room for an adorable kitten, heh~"[/color] Turning to Maoin, the dragon gave her a look over. [color=aba000]"Are you ready, then? It will be a fairly long journey, I imagine...and we'll need to figure out how exactly to get to Atlantis."[/color] [h3][color=f6989d][center]~Lyssa~[/center][/color][/h3] [color=f6989d]"Eh...? EEEEEH?! S-swen? H-how did Swen get even more adorable?!"[/color] Lyssa was obviously surprised by the turn of events, though her tone seemed torn between amused and concern. Her mother had a hand in this? But, Swen was just as adorable as a guy, wasn't he? And...why would her mother do such a thing? She wasn't supposed to even be here, was she? Not unless...she was...shirking her work again and doing the exact opposite of what she was supposed to be doing and... [color=f6989d]"Oh my gosh, I am sooo sorry."[/color] Lyssa said, and at least seemed somewhat apologetic about the turn of events as she followed after Swen. [color=f6989d]"I...I should talk to her."[/color] It was true, her mother did have a habit of meddling in things and as much as Lyssa loved her at times she needed a good bit of sense just smacked into her. Usually her dad did that, but if she was here on earth instead of hell, meddling... [color=f6989d]"Uhm uhm, you're not hurt anywhere are you? I mean, you're still adorable and cute and I can still give you hugs! I don't care if you're a girl if you want them!"[/color] She was, at least trying to cheer Swen up bug hugs were likely decidedly not what she needed right now.
