The mage listened to the fox's logic.  On one hand this was likely a partial ruse as the fox would likely go do something else.  On the other hand, Selvina did understand the logic.  After a few moments she seemed to make up her mind.  [color=gray]"Alright - I'll give you two and a half hours out there before I summon you back."[/color]  It wasn't so much out of distrust - it certainly was - but also in case something bad happened to the fox so she could be returned back into safe hands.

[color=gray]"... spend those last thirty minutes on yourself though ..."[/color]  A small pouch of coins was tossed to the familiar.  [color=gray]"If you finish early grab yourself something and get me some decent coffee.  I need to catch up on my studies."[/color]  Of course, the familiar likely had objectives of her own though.  And since Lady Gwynn would likely be at dinner it would be a good time to see her personality.

Maoin looked in the same direction that Lady Gwynn had been just in time to hop backwards and start drawing her sword as some terrifying and hungry beast was about to eat her - the cat found herself grateful when her former mistress grabbed the tail and pulled it down 'elegantly'.

The kitten let out a sigh of relief as they were introduced to what was likely to be a fairly rough relationship ... and she honestly felt a little bad.  Not about what Ritsa did but ... while Lady Gwynn had certainly deserved that hit and the initial rush of adrenaline was heavenly ... her tail and ears dropped just slightly as she saw the bruising on her old mistress' face.  Yes, the noble had deserved it.  But she just wasn't a violent person.

Maoin went up and collected the teddy bear in a few moments and brushed off the dirt as she walked, delivering it to Ritsa with a smile.  [color=darkslateblue]"Sorry if I made you panic, Ritsa.  Anyways, you dropped this."[/color]  The kitten felt a little jealousy in herself as she watched the other girl being pet, but shook it off as she looked back towards the lady who summoned her.

[color=darkslateblue]"Lady Gwynn, I think it would be best to eat over our conversation.  Perhaps we could eat somewhere decent or I could cook something ... and Ritsa could either come with us or spend time with her new friend?  She'd probably be safe with the Headmistress.  And she seems pretty strong as well."[/color]  Of course the cat could understand if Lady Gwynn needed to watch the child, but Maoin would prefer a bit more privacy.  She hadn't meant to offer to cook for the noble, but she hadn't done it in a long time and it would give they wouldn't have any interruptions.

Fia let out a breath of relief as the hug was finally released, then surprised as a 'hydra fin' was placed into her hands rather forcefully and the girl ran off.  After blinking at it a few times she simply seemed confused.  Truthfully though, she was simply glad the other girl wouldn't be bothering them anymore - she wasn't evil or anything, but Livia would feel some combination of annoyance and jealousy wash over the Crimosn haired girl.  Finally she spoke.  [color=salmon]"... strange ..."[/color]  For a second it seemed as if the phoenix wanted to elaborate, but as she looked down at the fin she simply nodded.

Well, at least her and Livia would be spending the rest of the day together, wouldn't they?  Alone, hopefully.  The crimson haired girl gave the headmistress a smile and she grabbed onto the older woman's hand.  [color=salmon]"... Livia ... you pick ...!"[/color]  Despite her quiet voice, the girl's tone made obvious she would be happy for the Headmistress to pick whatever stall would be their next activity together.
