[color=black][h3][center]~Fox~[/center][/h3][/color] The fox growled at the unwelcome touch, having to restrain herself from lashing out at Sel. Couldn't go around destroying her persona here. She was the cute, innocent little kitten here right now. If she appeared as anything else, the other humans might get suspicious. [color=black]"Aha...[i]master[/i] expects me to wear such a silly thing,"[/color] The fox replied, in her usual much to sweet voice. [color=black]"Master really does have a funny sense of humor."[/color] And quite suddenly, the fox stomped her foot on top of Sel's at the mention of her hands going anywhere other than the clothes. [color=black]"Ah, silly me...I apologize master, this one is a clumsy little kitten."[/color] She continued in her sweet voice. [color=black]"But I get so...nervous when talking about such things with you, master. It would be a shame if I accidentally hurt you because of this one's clumsiness..."[/color] The wording and intent was likely quite clear, but in case it wasn't. [color=black][i]"Meaning, touch anywhere other than the clothes and I'll burn your soul to cinders."[/i][/color] [color=6ecff6][h3][center]~Miren~[/center][/h3][/color] [color=6ecff6]"I-I see..."[/color] Miren frowned. Kozue did seem like a perfectly nice person, if a little on the strict side but...maybe she was wrong. Livia had often told her she was far too trusting of others. Well...unless proven otherwise, she always just liked to think of people as good, deep down. For now though, she had customers to attend to and she was highly curious about what Kozue might find. Time passed in the store quickly enough. Business was starting to pick up a little from yesterday. A few students wandered in looking for books that might not be in the library at the school - and asking if she had a number of rarer ones for sale. Kozue would discover a number of mentioned methods about how to possibly revive a dead spirit. Holy water, injecting it with large amounts of magic. Most though, were just temporary solutions, designed to give a ghost or spirit more room to exist without some sort of anchor. A few books made note that it may be possible to return a spirit to a physical form via possession, of some sort, or possibly somehow restoring its original body through various rituals that weren't exactly holy in origin, as long as she had a piece of the original. What Kozue would do though, was ultimately up to her. [color=f7976a][h3][center]~Ritsa~[/center][/h3][/color] The widest grin Ritsa had worn yet spread across her face as Fia showed interest in going with her to the festival. Gwynn would be there too, but with Fia there it'd be perfect! Well, actually, if other mom was there it'd be perfect but she was busy with something called 'Trade Routes' and Teleportation stuff and running a kingdom while taking care of her father or something. Too complicated for little baby hydras. Without warning though, the Hydra latched onto Fia and gave her a quick, but firm hug. [color=f7976a]"Hehe, yay!"[/color] She let go of the bird quickly, remembering she didn't like prolonged contact. [color=f7976a]"Lets play?"[/color] She asked again. It seemed like she wanted Fia to choose a different game this time. If Fia couldn't think of anything, the Hydra would probably be placated with another game of tag.
