Selvina gave Sly a slight frown - of worry more than anything else - but nodded.  She was obviously curious about what it was, but was willing to go along with the fox's plan.  [color=gray]"I'm not sure if the lake is the brightest idea for that - a lot of people visit it during the day.  Somewhere out in the forest would be better ... or maybe in a study room within the library?"[/color]  The mage paused for a moment.  [color=gray]"Those things are huge and people rarely use them except around finals - no one's going to even be in the area for the festival week."[/color]

She decided to ignore the more insulting comments and the threatening statements.  [color=gray]"But I'll use your judgement to decide - I'm not sure how large we are talking.  Lead the way."[/color]

Fia's eyes reached the full extent of their wideness as she watched the hydra swallow the entire fish.  She knew some familiars carried over characteristics of their mythic counterparts but ... how was the girl's neck wide enough?  How had she just managed to [i]grab[/i] one of the slimy things on her first try?  Either way it had been an impressive display of skill that she couldn't replicate.  [color=salmon]"... you ... you win ..."[/color]

It was another reminder about how getting in a fight with this girl was a bad decision.  But as she glanced around she gave Ritsa a grin before jumping at her for a tackle, stick dropping uselessly to the ground.  [color=salmon]"... grabbed fish ...!"[/color]  Livia would likely be surprised by this action if she was watching, but it was clear based on the smirk crossing the girl's face that she was having a good time.

[color=blue]"H-hey!"[/color]  Meowka glared at the angry doll, hugging the bag closer to herself and letting the dolls guide her through completing the shopping trip, carrying various items if they seemed to insist on it with an irritated puff and letting them show her how to pay for the food through one very confused cashier.  If Katherine was paying attention she would realize Meowka's number system was limited to 'one' 'few' 'several' 'many' 'many manies!' and seemed to have little comprehension of how cash values worked except based on how pretty the metal was.  After a long and painful process the Dollmaster would eventually hear the door opening as she entered wordlessly and handed the groceries she had to carry to the dolls.

Aside from the dried fish of course - that went on top of her new favored cabinet for safekeeping.  Now that the most important matters had been taken care of ... what was Mistress Katherine doing?
