It was tempting to scream at her and blame her for the entire circumstance, but it seemed that she was truly apologetic and there was a good chance that she had nothing to do with the entire exchange. [color=gray]"Maybe we could embrace later but we have places to attend ... if you could afford a conversation with your mother I would be very grateful."[/color] She tried to sound confident and even a little hopeful, but ultimately Selvina's words came off as frustrated and annoyed. After a quick check to make sure the puppy was still following, the lady continued to lead the way until they arrived at the arranged meeting place where Luna would soon be arriving. Selvina wasn't sure how to handle the upcoming awkwardness with her, so instead she decided not to and to let her realize on her own as she appeared in the distance.

A stack of papers landed on the desk with a small [i]thud[/i] as Aetheria began to pick through them and eventually found the one she was looking for. Pulling it out, she took a brief look over the page as if once again to confirm that what she was about to say wasn't utterly insane. [color=lightyellow]"... ummm ... after some deep soul analysis ..."[/color] The former peasant had to force herself to calm down, get to the point, and speak with confidence. [color=lightyellow]"For starters, I think we can find out who your familiar was originally. Her original form was one of your ancestors."[/color] The tears would have made it more certain, but there was a reason why Livia likely hadn't been able to figure out the next part on her own.

While Maoin would have offered to do so and her instincts as a servant told her to make the offer, the cat ultimately decided to allow the stronger woman to do the heavy lifting. After all, dragonkind was not exactly as weak as small kittens. Or apparently nearly as adorable. [color=darkslateblue]"... an adora- Thanks Sorcha ..."[/color] The girl looked away with a brief blush, but soon the nightseeing eyes returned to the teacher. [color=darkslateblue]"I was actually wondering if it would be possible to intercept them at Gibraltar? The straight is very narrow, although we'd be hard pressed to catch up with a boat that has two day's head start ..."[/color] They'd have already taken teleportation if that was an option. A second or two passed as the girl looked towards the ground, then back up at the dragoness as she awaited a response. [color=darkslateblue]"... have you been to Atlantis ...?"[/color] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/HuFvrKV.jpg[/img][/center] The red haired girl watched the librarian's keeper approach a little nervously, wondering if by arriving so early that she could be annoying the poor little bunny. As the other woman began to speak though, the phoenix looked towards the ground as she nodded in response. Livia had told her to ask the librarian any questions she had, and reading the books had brought up several of them. Aside from the complex and academic language, the research materials on her seemed to be vague, incomplete, partially destroyed, or even contradictory. And having absolutely no academic background, the girl in truth had no idea how to take notes to organize her knowledge into small, understandable parts and then connect them via relationships. Ultimately a single word left the girl's lips as she looked up at the librarian with pleading eyes. [color=salmon]"... help ...?"[/color]
