Ritsa was hot on Fia's heels. The phoenix took a sharp left, and her bet paid off even if only a little. The hydra's bare feet skidded across the ground, bending her body low and practically leaping forward and using her momentum to make a sharp turn. Fia had gained a precious few seconds between her and the Hydra, but unless she could put a bit more considerable distance between them the Hydra would catch up fairly easily.

[color=black]"There's also such a thing as being entirely too serious and not having a sense of humor whatsoever."[/color] The fox rebutted. [color=black]"But I suppose that is obvious, [i]master[/i]."[/color] The way she addressed Sel seemed even more hostile and filled with even less respect than normal, if such a thing was possible. [color=black]"You're the one who took a creature that is marked by chaos. I do hope you weren't expecting me to be some perfectly servile thing like that fool of a cat."[/color]

Whether she got a reply or not, the fox walked over to a nearby window, reverting back to her fox form and laying on the windowsill.

[color=6ecff6]"E-eh? Of course it would. W-we're friends aren't we?"[/color] Miren said, tilting her head to the side. [color=6ecff6]"W-well, I mean, a-aside from the fact I'm apparently your servant and all...n-not that I mind, of course."[/color] Before either of them could comment further though, a bell notified Miren of the door to the shop being opened. Her head immediately turned to the source of it. [color=6ecff6]"A-ah! My first customer."[/color] Oh dearohdearohdear. It was alright, she could do this.

[color=6ecff6]"Stay here for a moment, Eith. L-let me go help and...do librarian stuff."[/color]

[b]"I enjoy the work."[/b] Cynthia commented with a dismissive tone. [b]"I...probably won't be done working until late tonight, Mugi."[/b] Cynthia continued, frowning slightly. [b]"I-i't good to see you of course, b-but there's not much to do here while you wait."[/b]

[color=a187be]"I can always entertain guests, Cynthia dear."[/color] Livia commented with a friendly smile, earning a quieting glare from Cynthia who likely knew what exactly that 'entertainment' might mean for Mugi. She was quite aware of how Livia liked teasing other people. The headmistress definitely liked poking fun at her for this entire relationship thing. [color=a187be]"My my, they grow up so fast."[/color] Livia said with fake sigh as she stood up. [color=a187be]"You're free to stay over if you want, Mugi. Just don't distract my maid too much or I might have to remind her who exactly her boss is~"[/color] With that, the headmistress walked back upstairs to her study leaving Cynthia and Mugi alone.

The maid gave Mugi a seemingly questioning look - likely wondering what she was going to do next.

As expected, the kitten wilted at any sort of failing on her end. Despite realizing it'd be bad to get upset with the kitten for it as she'd likely have been told that before, the Dragon couldn't help but to be somewhat annoyed by it. That however, was not the reason they were here for now. It was supposed to be a relaxing day and the dragon wouldn't let something like this ruin it intentionally.

[color=aba000]"Tsk, don't look so put out Little one."[/color] The dragon replied. [color=aba000]"But moving on..."[/color] The dragon hesitated for a moment, idly playing with a loose strand of hair. It'd be so easy not to mention. It'd certainly give her a lot less trouble in the long run. [color=aba000]"This is the most important rule I will ever give you. The most important duty you will ever be faced with, Little One. After I tell you this rule, no matter what I do, say, or threaten with you are not to back down or acquiesce to my demands."[/color] There was a pause as the dragon was clearly hesitating to continue. By now her finer had thoroughly been wrapped in her blond hair. [color=aba000]"...My diet. You are to make sure I never, under any circumstance over eat. No matter what I say or do from now on, you are to make sure I eat no more than a normal person under any circumstance."[/color]
