Selvina nodded, then found herself remembering the date as well.  Oh no, she needed to hurry!

Luckily she had read up on manuals for makeup and such and although she hadn't purchased any hopefully she'd at least be able to- as her head looked up into the mirror she noticed that there was some pretty Asian characters written on her cheek.  Frankly, they looked beautiful although she had no idea what they said.  [color=gray]"... I ... I didn't know you were into calligraphy ..."[/color]  Perhaps the fox had been intending to help her out with a little beatification that came form her culture?  [color=gray]"... thanks, I guess ...?"[/color]

That actually was a useful skill.  Though as she looked into the mirror she realized it was likely going to be a bad idea to let the fox wander around all day.  [color=gray]"Hmmm ... I don't expect you to be a maid, but you need to learn at least a few skills useful for serving me.  I'd like you to stay inside here for today and practice something that you'd think would be useful for me - I just expect you to tell me what it was when I get back."[/color]  She'd been relatively good so she'd earned a little autonomy.  Perhaps she'd buy a larger house here and hire another servant if things changed, but for now she was a noble lady who needed at least a little attending to.

As she ran around the room and got herself ready the mage threw on a new set of robes and finished tidying her hair as she prepared to leave the apartment.  [color=gray]"I'll get you some nice food from that restaurant again if you do well, alright Sly?"[/color]

The Phoenix looked over the hydra as she seemed to examine the paperwork for a few moments, and then declare both herself and the work she did boring.  Fia looked towards Ritsa with a slightly agitated look before realizing this may be a blessing in disguise.

[color=salmon]"... yes ... paperwork boring ..."[/color]  It wasn't a lie exactly.  But a bit more explanation would probably help.  [color=salmon]"... have to help Livia with it ..."[/color]  Especially after taking the previous day off the sheets were stacked fairly high.  Truthfully the headmistress would likely be a little overwhelmed if she went away.  Or she'd be forced to hire a new worker that could be less than trustworthy.

[color=salmon]"... me boring ... maybe ...?"[/color]  Fia wasn't exactly sure how to answer that question.  She was being boring at the moment, at least.  But was she boring as a person?

Either way, it was clear this girl needed some other form of entertainment or else she'd keep on being bugged by her.  The crimson haired girl pointed at the doll that always hid in a certain crevice in the office.  [color=salmon]"... you could play .... with doll ...?  It even moves ..."[/color]  Now that it was pointed out, the object would likely be clear to Ritsa.

She hoped Livia would think that was clever enough to not be upset with her choosing to not take care of the beast.

Meowka listened to the other woman list of her titles.  'The Puppeteer' sounded like something she expected and sounded appropriate for the way she behaved.  But 'Nymphomaniac Lesbian' made the cat chuckle a bit.  

Mistress Katherine' though?

The thought made the cat pause mentally for a moment.  Ronat had been her mistress beforehand, and even though the two were generally informal Meowka still thought of her as such.  Thinking of another taking that position made the cat feel a little sick ...

... but then again she had been ordered to move on, probably the only serious order she had ever received.  Even if she'd never be a maid she was this woman's familiar.  And the mage had promised to take care of her seemed to intend to treat her like some luxurious pet.

The next subject made her blood keep boiling.  Sure, she'd tell her new mistress about the situation.  Maybe the archwizard would help.  [color=blue]"Ronat died in my arms from an easily cured disease that we couldn't afford the medicine for.  Her dying breaths were spent on the very fucking cousin that convinced her parents that she should not be invited to the family because of some play time rivalry."[/color]

Meowka's voice went cold.  [color=blue]"Mistress Katherine, the moment I deliver Ronat's message I am going to tell that woman off and beat the ever living shit out of her."[/color]  She had problems with her littermate Maoin as well, but this was a one step at a time issue.  [color=blue]"Ronat would be disappointed in me if I killed her, so I'll try not to."[/color]

It seemed that Katherine's earlier order about 'don't spill blood' was being taken in a minimal sense.
