[color=a187be][center][h3]~Livia Fiore, Black, and Miren~[/h3][/center][/color]

Of course, Livia did have a general idea of what happened...but it was always good to hear the details, lest one let misinformation cause bad judgement. She listened quite intently to Sel's explanation and even the events after it. It was amusing, to say the least. Especially the bit that happened after. With a small smile, the headmistress watched as Sel had a bit of a panic about her classes.

[color=a187be]"Concerned about your classes, then? Perhaps you shouldn't have involved yourself in something that didn't concern you, 'Selvina'."[/color] Livia said with cool voice. [color=a187be]"It's quite a shame your parents will have to hear about this, isn't it? I doubt they will be very understanding...after all, it was quite foolish for you to go somewhere so dangerous. Not to mention what Myrilla has done to you. What will your parents think? Maybe they'll marry you off like they tried to do with Gwynn, hm? Now that would be funny, woudln't it?"[/color]

She was getting a bit off topic here, wasn't she?

[color=a187be]"But I digress. It is a pleasure to meet you Kouze. I am assuming the...other one that was with you is a friend of yours? She seems to have run off with Lyssa...I'll meet her later, I suppose. Anyways. I will take the liberty of preparing room for you here. I'll send a servant to find you later with the details."[/color] Livia lightly ruffled Fia's hair before looking over at Luna.

[color=a187be]"As for you, Luna...I assume Selvina here dragged you into this by no fault of your own."[/color] She hummed. [color=a187be]"You share the blame as well, but for now I simply will say I will allow you to make up any work you miss - but you will have to help me with something in the near future. That is all I ask, now...I have some news you all may wish to here."[/color] Livia's face suddenly took a slightly grim turn, voice becoming much more serious. [color=a187be]"Lord Kostis...the one who asked you to do this, has gone...missing. Likely was murdered."[/color]

Miren, somewhat curious about the events but for now simply focused on the hound in front of her.

[color=6ecff6]"A-ah! H-hello Eith."[/color] The bunny couldn't help but to still be somewhat nervous around the hound. [color=6ecff6]"W-well, I am doing well, though, I am no longer the head Librarian here. Livia has treated me well, and paid me well for my services as both a researcher and librarian over the years! So I'm moving to a small apartment in the town..."[/color]

The fox merely yawned where it sat, reaching up and scratching an ear with a paw. This was boring. Sel was boring. She wanted to be anywhere but here. Bah.

[color=aba000][h3][center]~Sorcha~[/center][/h3][/color]

Sorcha smirked as she looked down at the kitten sitting on her lap, ruffling the kittens hair slightly as she started speaking.

[color=aba000]"Always, always, anticipate what your master wishes and ensure they have the maximum amount of comfort possible even when comfort is difficult to find."[/color] She pushed the kitten off of her, standing up off of the bed and walking a bit away from the kitten. [color=aba000]"This extends, to everything, and may require you to do things that the master themselves may not be entirely aware of that they want or need."[/color] The order itself was rather...nebulous in nature, and likely would cause the Kitten a bit of stress until she understood what exactly she was speaking of, and until after spending a bit more time with Sorcha. This wasn't designed to be wholly strict however, it was also to give the kitten a bit of Autonomy in her actions as well so Sorcha didn't have to order her around for every little thing.

[color=aba000]"So...for now I am hungry and would like something to eat."[/color]

[h3][color=6ecff6][center]~Katherine, Celine, Myrilla~[/center][/color][/h3]

Katherine lazed about her room, curious what to do for her day.  It seemed those students that left on some adventure had returned, perhaps she could go greet them.  Of course, she could just work on some dresses or something more productive.  [color=green]”Regardless, today is perfect after learning about Livia and Myrilla. Heheh.”[/color] The Puppeteer giggled to herself.  There was also the cat and dragon that seemed to return as well.  Well, they seemed lto return to Lunalel Lightsword’s room, so it would be best to steer clear of that for now.
 
It had been…so long since she had walked anywhere outside of the lake. Truthfully, to say she was a little more than self-conscious was a bit of an understatement. Not that any filthy humans would know that. With any luck, she wouldn't be seen either, except by that insufferable human by the name of 'katherine.' She had given great thought to visiting the human, and she eventually had gotten bored enough to give her a visit. Fish didn't exactly make for good conversation partners, after all.
 
So she decided to pay her a little visit.
 
Katherine would suddenly become quite aware there was the sound of water coming from her bath. Before she would even have a few seconds to react to it, the sound of a small stream suddenly turned into what would have been an almost impossible amount of water for the bath to use naturally.
 
Seconds later, the water coalesced as it stopped pouring, as it took the shape of a woman Katherine was somewhat familiar with.
 
[color=6ecff6]"Hum…so this is a human abode. Smells of your filth, definitely."[/color]
 
Katherine was more than a little surprised by the visit of the Undine.  [color=green]”We can’t all make everything spot less in a short period.  Though I rather hope you don’t flood my living quarters. Too many things that can get water damaged you see.  Still though, it’s nice to see you again, so long as you don’t plan on kidnapping me.”[/color]  There was only one thing that spoke of “filth” in a way like this and with the familiar look it was easy to gander a guess.  [color=green]”What brings you out here, if I may ask.”[/color]
 
[color=6ecff6] "Ah,"[/color] Celine turned her head up slightly as she observed Katherine and left the bathroom. [color=6ecff6]"You're here…unfortunate. Water damage would only improve the décor in this place."[/color] She huffed, looking around the room at the less than idea furnishings. [color=6ecff6] "I was merely bored…so entertain me."[/color]
 
[color=green]”Hmm, well.  I suppose I could.  Did you have anything in mind? Or are clueless on the matter?”[/color]  Katherine asked, curious.  The only thing Katherine was sure of was Celine had no issues with killing humans and disliked them greatly.
 
[color=6ecff6] "I am supposed to leave my home and come all the way out here to your filthy residence, and also come up with the entertainment?"[/color] Celine's mouth turned downwards in displeasure. Truthfully, she was clueless. Completely so. She wasn't entirely sure what entertainment humans could provide.

Aside from dying and begging for them not to kill you.

But details, details.

[color=6ecff6] "You ask something quite absurd."[/color]
 
[color=green]”Sometime people come over and ask friends if they want to do things.  I can’t think of anything you’d be especially happy to do since there are so many ‘filthy’ humans around.  We could find something to do here perhaps?  Unless you’re willing to be around ‘filthy’ humans.”[/color]  Katherine said as she pointed to the door leading to outside.  She was mostly trying to read the Undine to see what she would and would not be willing to do.
 
[color=6ecff6]"You even claim to be my friend. How arrogant."[/color] Celine scoffed. [color=6ecff6]"You are the host here, are you not? It is your job to entertain your guests, so entertain."[/color]
 
Katherine giggled a little bit, [color=green]”The first entertaining thing I can think of with guests as beautiful as yourself tends to be lewd.”[/color]  Her gaze laid on the Undine’s chest remembering the past experience with her.  [color=green]”We can go people watch, it can be entertaining around here.  There are odd-balls from all over with their familiars.”[/color]  It seems Katherine made her mind up there.  If nothing else, it would be a good way to get the Undine use to people.
 
Celine seemed to unconsciously puff out her chest a little as Katherine commented on it. How crude, but she'd save her breath. The human would never learn, besides, she had said something next that caused the Undine a bit of concern.

People…watch?

[color=6ecff6]"Why would I ever want to watch…people?"[/color] Celine frowned. The idea didn't seem very fun or entertaining at all. [color=6ecff6]"I suppose if that is the best you can come up with, human, then very well. Lead the way."[/color]
 
[color=green]”This place is an oddity in the world, since we have people from all over it.”[/color]  Katherine lead Celine out of her place and down to a park.  Since it was a busy spot, it was the perfect place.  [color=green]”I think this place will be perfect.”[/color]  The puppeteer found a bench that wasn’t being used.  It looked fairly clean, but probably not clean enough for her companion.  [color=green]”There are a lot of sights here.  I think even you might be entertained a bit.”[/color]  The teacher said as she patted the bench next to her, asking Celine to sit next to her.
Now that she was actually outside, Celine made an obviously careful effort not to put herself anywhere near the other people, as if she had some aversion to them. She walked with light steps, taking great care to watch where she walked as she attempted not to stain herself with the filth of the humans. Sitting on a bench made by them? She'd have never even considered the thought before. Still…

A jet of water expelled itself from the undines hand, blasting anything that may have been covering the bench off before she brushed some dirt off of her dress and took a seat on the now cleaned bench.

[color=6ecff6]"I do hope this is worth my while."[/color]
 
[color=green]”I do too.”[/color]  Katherine said with a laugh.  She had no idea if Celine would enjoy it or not.  But she would at least see how human mage society was.  It was starting to get busy and people moved past.  Every type of person though most were students of different skin colors.  A notable example was a weird guy that had a large chicken with him.  Katherine had made note of this before, but she had no interest in why he had a chicken that looked like it could be ridden like a horse.  A group of three girls walked by talking about how, [b]”Miss Luna has come back!”[/b]  Likely talking of Lunalel Lightsword.  [color=green]”I feel like this school is skewed towards girls that like girls sometimes.”[/color] 
 
Celine quietly watched as people passed. That chicken, was huge! She had never…actually seen a chicken before. Even a normal sized one. Some talked about some 'Luna' that Katherine also mentioned. Some sort of…human celebrity then? It was curious, to say the least. She had to wonder who this Luna was.

[color=6ecff6] "…girls that like girls?"[/color] Celine commented. [color=6ecff6] "That is not that unusual, is it? Of course, I suppose since Undine tend to all be female…I suppose it does not matter."[/color] Celine turned her head towards Katherine. [color=6ecff6] "Who is this 'Luna' those humans mentioned? Some…human celebrity of yours?"[/color]
 
Katherine had to lightly chuckle at the question.  [color=green]”Lunalel Lightsword. She’s one of our students.  I’d hardly say she was a celebrity, but some of the girls swoon over her because of some incident where she stopped a girl falling from hitting the ground or something.”[/color]  The Puppeteer had to go back to the first thing the Undine questioned.  [color=green]”That said, normally human relations go with Male and Female couples since that’s how children are made.  Then there are people like me and. . . Apparently, many here at this school that aren’t quite into those relationships and go for someone a bit more like them.”[/color]  At that moment, a girl in some eastern robe created an ice path in front of her and slide across with a happy look on her face.  [color=green]”Oh, it’s that Snow Woman.”[/color]
 
[color=6ecff6]"Snow woman?..."[/color] The undine watched as Mugi skated across her field of view. [color=6ecff6] "She was dressed…oddly?"[/color] It seemed the oddly dressed woman was meeting another woman - one dressed in a maids outfit. She had seen her before, actually. A servant of Livia's. [color=6ecff6] "Cynthia?..."[/color] This was quite odd. Normally the servant was attached to Livia in a number of ways.

…she was slightly curious as to what they were up too, but she returned to the subject at hand.

[color=6ecff6]"Hm…"[/color] Celine said with a small huff. [color=6ecff6] "All you filthy humans are the same to me."[/color]
 
[color=green]”If that were true then you’d never have come to me specifically because you were bored.”[/color] Katherine said with a sly smile.  Then she went on to answer one of the Undine’s curiosities.  [color=green]”But yes, that is Cynthia.  She’s been getting along with that Snow Woman from the east.  I find it rather humorous.  I think she’s got a thing for pale skin and huge breasts.”[/color]  
 
[color=6ecff6] "I gave you a thorough cleansing,"[/color] Celine replied in her usual haughty fashion. [color=6ecff6] "Of course you're different than the rest of these fools."[/color] She turned her attention back to Cynthia and Mugi. [color=6ecff6] "And those small things?..."[/color] She said observing Mugi for a few seconds before glancing down at her own chest. [color=6ecff6] "Those are hardly what I would call 'Large'."[/color]
 
[color=green]”Compared to you? Definitely.  I think it’s in the way she flaunts herself intentionally or not.”[/color]  Katherine said as she looked at the Undine’s body and poked at the side of her breast.  [color=green]”I’m a bit jealous of you in that.”[/color]
 
[color=6ecff6]"As well you should be,"[/color] The undine didn't seem to mind the touching too much, though she gave Katherine a disapproving frown. [color=6ecff6]"The body of one such as I is something you humans are naturally envious of."[/color] With a small smile she continued. [color=6ecff6] "Perhaps if you drink something more healthy you could actually have something more than an ironing board at your disposal."[/color]
 
[color=green]”I’m bigger than that.”[/color]  Katherine said as she poked harder.  [color=green]”Do you count as something healthy?  That could be fun in itself.”[/color]  Of course it came around to this for Katherine every time.  [color=green]”Who wouldn’t enjoy anything coming from such a beautiful undine?”[/color]
 
[color=6ecff6]"Hah! As the purest source of water in this world, I of course count as 'something healthy"[/color] She replied, reaching a hand over and grabbing Katherine's own breast. [color=6ecff6] "And please, you might as well be a washboard! Look, barely more than a handful."[/color] Perhaps a slight exaggeration for the sake of her arrogance and teasing the human, but she didn't care. [color=6ecff6]"Don't think your filth can easily ply me with compliments just for a taste of my waters, either."[/color]
 
[color=green]”I’m sure compliments would be the second or third thing if I wanted to take a drink.  I’d probably just ask first.”[/color]  Flirting was fun and all, but if Katherine wanted a drink she was sure there were other ways.  [color=green]”Besides, this is hardly the place to do so.  I’d first probably take you back and try to cuddle up in my bed . . . The rest we can leave to your imagination.”[/color]  It was a lot more fun this way, planting ideas and thoughts.  The Undine was too proud to easily fall into it though.
 
[color=6ecff6]"As incorrigible as always it seems…as if I would let such impure thoughts cloud my mind."[/color] Celine scoffed. Though, perhaps it could be…fun…a small hint of purplish colored blush formed on the Undine's cheeks before fading. Such things were not embarrassing to her obviously considering what occurred on her and Katherine's first day, but the situation here was slightly different. [color=6ecff6] "Or allow myself to rest on a human bed that is likely dirtier than a barn.”[/color]
 
[color=green]“I think barn is an exaggeration, but I suppose it's a bit dirty. I probably have a bit too much ‘fun’ to be honest.  I wouldn't mind sharing my fun with you.”[/color] Katherine said slipping her hand to the undine’s side.  Her hand caressed Celine’s curves as she spoke again. [color=green]“I wouldn't mind if you cleansed or cleaned my bed. It'll just get dirty again soon enough.”[/color] Celine frowned but didn't seem to mind Katherine's arm too much, or at least she was tolerating it.

[color=6ecff6]"Perhaps I should."[/color] She replied. [color=6ecff6]"I refuse to let any place I may be staying in have any amount of filth in it…human or otherwise, and if I do they will remain so because I refuse to let any filth fall upon it."[/color]
 
[color=green]”Oh-hohoho. Does that mean what I think it means? I prefer plain words when I tell my intentions, personally.”[/color] Katherine said as her hand moved even lower to Celine’s watery butt and giving it a nice squeeze.  [color=green]”I wouldn't mind if you made me at least temporarily clean while you're at it.”[/color]
 
[color=6ecff6]"Oh?"[/color] Celine reached down, pulling Katherine's hand off of her backside and gave the woman a stern look. [color=6ecff6]"You are thinking something perverted, aren't you, you affront to purity?"[/color] The undine stood, moving in front of Katherine. [color=6ecff6]"All it means, is that I may grace you with my presence occasionally, and if I deem the human filth getting to you, then I will cleanse you personally. And I think it is has been awhile since I gave you good cleaning…so we will return, and I will purify you."[/color]
 
[color=green]“Perverted? Well, I… can't deny it.  In my defense your body makes me think of things of that nature and I wouldn't mind if you had your way with me.”[/color] Katherine said as she stood up after Celine, [color=green]“Shall we return to my humble yet apparently unclean abode. It's refreshing after you clean me.”[/color] She smiled at her companion, resisting the urge to put another hand on her.  She was lucky getting to where she was, no need to push it.
 
[color=6ecff6] "Oh? Having impure thoughts about this body…tsk, how debase."[/color] Celine took a step close to Katherine, extending a slender arm around the humans' waist. [color=6ecff6] "I shall need to give you a thorough cleaning so you don't have any such desires for a while."[/color] Suddenly, her hand reached down and gave Katherine's butt a firm squeeze, followed by a harsh slap. [color=6ecff6]"And since you seem to enjoy these things a bit too much, I'll make sure you have no desire to use one for a few days."[/color]
 
Katherine gave a small yip at the grab she didn't expect. Though she eased into the slap a bit. [color=green]“My, I'm not much for pain… but I suppose I'll have to live if I want to get cleaned by you.”[/color] Katherine teased as she continued to her place with Celine.
 
[hr]

For the next half hour or so, Celine kept Katherine more than a little busy with her 'Cleansing'. It was thorough, full-body and at times, painful considering Celine's definition of cleansing involved using pain, if just a little. To say Katherine's bed was cleansed thoroughly with the Undine's water was an understatement. Oddly enough though, the sheets did seem much cleaner and smelled of fresh water…and Katherine would definitely find herself feeling a bit more energetic.

Oh, and Celine definitely kept her word about making her not want to sit for a few days…

[color=6ecff6]"You should feel much better without all that filth weighing on you. I will be taking my leave now."[/color] The undine said, standing in front of the bath. [color=6ecff6]"You may expect another visit to ensure the filth of these humans does not wear on your mind too much. So make sure you can entertain me properly again."[/color] With that, the Undine's body seemed to shudder, before collapsing into a body of water and flowing down the drain of the bath and back to her home.
 
As soon as the Undine left, Katherine would become aware of a certain perfume worn by a demon she was quite familiar with filling the area. If she was so happened to be curious and follow the scent of it, she'd find Myrilla laying on top of the teachers table in quite the risqué fashion and an apple in one hand as she chewed on it, giving Katherine a rather knowing smirk.
 
[color=ec008c]"had fun with that insolent little undine, Katherine? For a girl that talks so big you certainly are quite the submissive, heh~"[/color]
 
[color=green]”It hurts a slight bit, but I hardly think you're one to talk Miss ‘My student is the only one that can make me submissive’.”[/color] Katherine said as she eased herself toward Myrilla. [color=green]”Still, that was a bit more pain than I wanted.  Might need to find a pain numbing spell for next time. How are you Myrilla dear?”[/color]
 
[color=ec008c]"Oho, of course you saw that."[/color] Myrilla said with a light chuckle as she bit into the apple. [color=ec008c]"What can I say? Even I sometimes enjoy a nice, cathartic submissive streak. Watching Livia finally snap like she did was quite enjoyable and worth it. It'd be quite fun if she could do it again, you know. Might make my husband jealous too, which would make for quite some fun things in the bedroom with him, heh~"[/color]

She sat up on the table, tossing her legs over the edge of it as she bit into the apple again.

[color=ec008c]"But to answer your question…I am better than ever! Apple, dear?"[/color] She said, extending an arm and holding out the apple to Katherine.
 
[color=green]”Is this apple going to cost me and a leg?”[/color] Katherine said as she grabbed the apple and just looking at it.
 
[color=ec008c]"Well, It might cost your leg being used for something,"[/color] Myrilla said, bat-like wings fluttering behind her as she let her hands rest on the table. [color=ec008c]"But it's nothing dangerous, dear little Katherine…In fact, lets say, I just have a little deal for you."[/color] The Demon Lord gave Katherine an odd smile, swiping the apple back from the human with ease.

[color=ec008c]"You know where that apple comes from? Probably not, heh, but that's not important. Let's just say it's not an ordinary apple. It was grown specifically in one of my…relatives estates after its seeds were pilfered from somewhere. It could…increase your knowledge and magical ability, for a price."[/color] She let her words hang in the air for a bit. This definitely had suspicious written all over it.
 
[color=ec008c]"Interested? I hope so, because I could get into so much trouble for even showing you this."[/color] She dangled the bitten apple in front of Katherine with a light giggle.
 
[color=green]”Oh my, so that damnable Church got one thing right in that book if this is from where I think it is.”[/color]  Katherine said as she looked over this supposed magical apple.  [color=green]”What is the price though? What do you get out of this deal?”[/color]  The Puppeteer asked this time looking Myrilla in the eyes.


[color=ec008c]"All myths, legends, and rumors always have some base in fact, Katherine. Humans just have a tendency to…exaggerate things they don't understand, but that's a discussion for a different time."[/color] Myrilla said with a chuckle, looking down at the human. [color=ec008c] "As for what I get out of this?"[/color] The demon paused for a moment, seeming to either try and think of a price on the spot, or only making a show of it before responding.

[color=ec008c]"I want a new apprentice to play with."[/color]
 
[color=green]”I do have a master training me already.  I’m sure you realize.”[/color]  Katherine bluntly said.  [color=green]”And regardless of what happens, I’m staying at this academy.”[/color]
 
Myrllia frowned, giving a displeased huff as she hopped off the table.




[color=ec008c]"Are you quite certain, Katherine?"[/color] She continued, the apple vanishing in a puff of black particles. [color=ec008c]"My teachings could make you much, much greater than you already are. How do you think Livia got as strong as she is? She has definitely eaten more than these than most humans ever dream of. Knowledge, power, control…I can offer you all of it. And don't lie, I know that is exactly what you want."[/color] She leaned in close, eyeing Katherine carefully.
 
[color=green]”Nothing to deny.  I want power, plain and simple. That said, there’s one other thing I believe the Church got right Myrilla dear. Or, at the least made me think about it.”[/color]  Katherine said as she looked the demoness in the eyes.


[color=ec008c]"Oh? And what is that, dear?"[/color]
 
[color=green]”Be careful of your terms with the devil.”[/color]  Katherine said with a smile.  She didn’t seem wholly against making a deal, but definitely cared about the terms she had with Myrilla.  [color=green]”Right?”[/color]
 
[color=ec008c]"Oh? Is it the terms you are unhappy with, then?"[/color] Myrilla asked, a small smile forming on her lips. [color=ec008c]"Then name your terms. I am…flexible. What would it take to get you to be my apprentice, hmm?~"[/color]
 
[color=green]”What would being your apprentice entail, I should ask.”[/color] 
 
[color=ec008c]"Hmm…aside from being my personal plaything and doing whatever it is I tell you too? Nothing at all."[/color] Her voice indicated that she apparently thought that was a pretty good deal. [color=ec008c]”Simple, yes?”[/color]
 
[color=green]”So I can expect not to see you for long amounts of time as you play with your other toys.”[/color] Katherine half joked, but she knew that would probably be as it was.  Still, [color=green]”At the very least, I want to wait out being your apprentice until Livia’s life is extinguished.”[/color]  
 
At that, Myrilla simply laughed.

[color=ec008c]"Then you better work on extinguishing it yourself."[/color] Myrilla replied, giving Katherine a smirk. [color=ec008c]"That woman will vastly outlive you…and I doubt she's going to be sharing her secrets, even with you. And don't ask me…we have a deal, but If you were to agree to becoming my apprentice right now…"[/color]
 
[color=green]”Hmmm.  I’m not sure.  Perhaps you can give me a bit to consider?  Perhaps a time when my rump doesn’t hurt.”[/color] Katherine said, lightly rubbing her rear.
 
Myrilla pursed her lips, but at least seemed content with the answer. It wasn't a no - which meant she just had to give Katherine both time…and with a little more, persistent persuasion, she could do it.

[color=ec008c] "Oh alright, I am a reasonable little demon after all."[/color] Myrilla said with a chuckle, sauntering past Katherine and stopping behind her, tail lightly smacking the human's already likely sore rump. [color=ec008c] "And maybe I can help you with that pain a bit, hmm?~"[/color] Katherine would feel the demon's hands wrap around her from behind, with Myrilla resting her head on her shoulders. [color=ec008c]"At least make my time coming here worthwhile, or I might be a little…upset~"[/color]
 
[color=green]”Well, fine, as long as the pain is eased a bit.”[/color] Katherine teased a bit back.  She didn’t really need to deny such a thing, did she?  She knew what she was getting into here. . . So long as Myrilla didn’t do anything rash.
 
Some almost hour later, Myrilla finished with Katherine. The demon was practically insatiable as always and at least for her trouble made Katherine squirm a bit. After finishing, the demon left as she usually did, but left a half-bitten apple next to Katherine's bed, with a note saying that she was free to accept the deal at any time she wished…
