When the dragon returned home she would have found the cat dressed in probably what was her cutest dress - the blue one Katherine had made for her along with a small bracelet that matched her hair and a small bow to go in her hair and a matching one for the end of her tail.  And obviously makeup - lots of it.  It was a little annoying to have to clean while dressed up like this, but after a year of practice giving a place a light dusting without getting oneself dirty wasn't exactly a difficult task.  Of course she had made some food for Lady Sorcha as well and watched cheerfully as it was devoured.

And the red lightning bolt was in her hair still!  Maoin was relieved that Lady Sorcha seemed to like it - she was afraid the dragon would be upset with her spending her money, but apparently she seemed to appreciate small gifts.  Her ears perked up as she heard the sound of someone approaching - they had the same cadence and garb of a familiar night.  [color=darkslateblue]"Lady Sorcha, Lady Lightsword is almost here."[/color]  The cat offered an arm to help stabilize the dragon to help stand up in case she needed it.

Fia's eyes widened as she was hugged after their brief playtime, although technically she had won their little competition!  Livia would feel a little excitement run through her veins when she was finally released and able to relish a little in the victory ...

... she didn't want to play anymore?  The phoenix looked back over at the stack of paperwork.  It was for the best, right?  Despite what the phoenix was thinking to herself, Livia would be able to feel just a bit of sadness and relief through the bond at the same time as the girl returned to her constant paper sorting.

Soon enough it was time to go home - Fia squinting in annoyance as her head was patted once again - and she rose obediently and stood somewhat behind the headmistress as she let out a long sigh and stretched her muscles out from the long day of work.  Four though?  Who was the fourth?

She finally realized that Cynthia had been in the corner the entire time.  For a few seconds the phoenix hesitated before remembering what the headmistress had said.  [color=salmon]"... Cynthia ... massage at ... home ...?"[/color]  It was rather apparent the girl was nervous and uncertain about asking for such a thing, but the maid had been around for a while, hadn't she?  And besides, her muscles hurt just a little.

The cat found herself jumping at fish - hundreds of them, sold on the street.  There, ready to be eaten.  The night prowler licked her lips with enthusiasm as she ran by and snatched one, preparing to place it into her -

The world jolted slightly as Meowka opened her eyes.  Then it jolted again.  Meowka hissed slightly as she looked around for the source as she noticed a doll nearby was reaching for another poke which the cat slapped out of the way.  The rude contraption then held up a sign in front of her with the markings of writing on it.

She simply gave the doll a dumbfounded look after a couple moments of trying to interpret it.  [color=blue]"I can't read, you silly thing."[/color]  Besides, she was supposed to be waiting here for Mistress Katherine, right?  Meowka laid back down and closed her eyes once more.
