[color=black][h3][center]~Fox~[/center][/h3][/color] For a few seemingly agonizingly long seconds, the fox simply stared at Sel. Her blue eyes coldly studied the mage silently, occasionally one of her ears seemingly twitched as she thought. Finally though, she sighed in replied. [color=black]"Hm? Is this mage so weak as to let a few insults get to her? Do you have such a low self esteem you can not brush off a mild insult? Such a weak willed thing you are. I almost find it pitiable."[/color] It was true, her words were rather...scathing and insulting most of the time. However, most of the time they also weren't exactly 100% truthful. If Sel had been paying attention in any capacity or even trusted her in the slightest then this wouldn't even be an issue, would it? She doubted this insufferable mage would ever find her funny in the same manner her sister or Ayumi would, though... Why, could she just not once...have the benefit of the doubt, just once in her life? That she wasn't some sort of boogey monster? That she wasn't some sort of...thing to be feared? That she, like her sister, deserved to have their efforts recognized instead of shoved under the carpet and as soon as things went wrong she was blamed for it? [color=black]"Hm,"[/color] She hummed after a few more seconds. [color=black]"Your words sound sincere at least...but I have heard sincere sounding words before. Words are meaningless in most situations."[/color] She paused for a few seconds, choosing her words carefully. [color=black]"...but I will give you the benefit of the doubt, my weak minded master."[/color] For better or for worse, whether she was going to end up on the receiving end of mistrust again...why did she do this to herself? She really hated that stupid fox for making her like this. [color=black]"Hmm...but if we're doing trust falls, there is something I would like to show you."[/color] She continued as she started walking. [color=black]"Somewhere private with lots of room. Perhaps the lake will suffice, hm?"[/color] She paused for a moment, looking over her shoulder. [color=black]"...just know, that if you ever fail in your trust...there will be no more chances for us, and your soul will be forfeit."[/color] She quietly added. Sel would easily be able to tell that once again...that was [i]not[/i] and idle threat. [color=f7976a][h3][center]~Ritsa~[/center][/h3][/color] The hydra stared at the spear like implement a few seconds longer before frowning. Instead of using it however, she finally decided she would use the methods most known to her to capture a meal. Fish were naturally skittish. One had to be extremely still and swift to catch one. This spear was such an inefficient tool...all it did was hurt little baby hydras. She tossed the stick to the ground and walked back over to the river, walking out to the center of it and taking a sit in the center of it. This was likely the quietest and stillest Fia would ever see Ritsa. The hydra sat, almost completely motionless save for a few twitches of some fins on her head near her ears. Perhaps she was listening? Either way the Hydra would remain completely still for a number of seconds. Suddenly, in one swift motion the Hydra reached swiftly down into the water next to her...and pulled up a fish. The stream wasn't big enough to have large ones, but this would serve nicely as dinner. She grinned, running over to Fia and showing her the catch, letting the redhead look at it. [color=f7976a]"Hehe, silly sticks are silly." [/color]She grinned. [color=f7976a]"Much better hunter."[/color] She enthusiastically replied as the fish flopped about as it tried to escape its captors grasp. Ah! Right, she was going to eat it. Before Fia could say much else, the hydra shoved the whole fish into her mouth. And swallowed it. Whole. [color=f7976a]"Hey hey, you next!"[/color] [h3][center][color=aba000]~Sorcha~[/color][/center][/h3] [color=aba000]"Haha!"[/color] The dragon grinned. [color=aba000]"See Maoin, this is the sort of attitude you should have!"[/color] It was clear the dragon was enjoying herself, moreso since Luna was also enjoying it. For the next few seconds Glaive met sword. The clashing of metal upon metal echoed through the clearing as the dragon and knightess traded blows. It didn't seem like either could get an easy leg up on the other in a melee like this. Well, in such a situation one simply had to get a little creative. As Luna made a wide sideways arc, the dragon positioned her glaive horizontally and as soon as the two weapons clashed, the dragon caught the sword. In the next swift motion, Sorcha summoned all the strength she could and lowered her body, sending a swift, but still very powerful kick right to the knights midsection. If it knocker her off balance, as soon as the dragon right her self she would follow up by tackling the knight and hopefully pinning her to the ground.
