The reaction of the fox, was almost immediate. A slight twinge of disappointment could likely be felt through the bond. Her face read completely different however. She frowned, ear twitching in annoyance as she narrowed her eyes at Selvina. She swatted the mage's hand away from her ear as she started speaking.

[color=black]"I do not need nor want your pathetic attempts at 'pity', mage. I am fine and they only hurt should some fool does something they shouldn't. Like grab my neck."[/color] She was of course, referring to the earlier incident. [color=black]"I did not bring you here to show you this to earn your pity. I am showing you...so that you know full well I am not hiding anything from you any more. These...'scars' as you call them, are merely what happens when someone attempts some futile attempt at 'purification' that I neither need nor want."[/color] The fox huffed, tilting her head slightly the side as her tail swished back and forth. [color=black]"...they wouldn't be...[i]festering[/i] so if my foolish sister had kept her mitts off of me. Once some time has passed the curses will heal and will return to that which they should."[/color]

That was only a half truth. It was quite true, they weren't exactly scars from some injury. They were scars of a different sort - the curses of Yomi having being partially burned away for now, and attempting to reclaim their hold over her. But she couldn't tell the complete and full truth even if she wanted too and hopefully Sel would understand that completely by now.

[color=black]"Now...in lieu of trusting one another more, I was not entirely truthful when I named all of my previous abilities when you asked the previous night. I am skilled in both curses as well as I have knowledge of sealing magic and restraints. And I mean actual curses too, not some harmless prank of a 'death' curse."[/color] She turned, walking away from Sel with a sigh before turning on her heels and continuing. [color=black]"Also...you have yet to see what I actually look like."[/color] Immediately following her words, there was the usual foggy mist associated with her changing forms. Only this time there was much more than usual, followed by the sound of something large and heavy moving about on the ground. The clatter of a chain was heard briefly before quieting itself.

As soon as the mist cleared, Sel would be met with a fox the size of a small house lounging idly in front of her.

[color=black]"So, my little mage,"[/color] Her voice was much louder in this form. [color=black]"I have no more secrets I am keeping from you."[/color]

[color=f7976a][h3][center]~Ritsa~[/center][/h3][/color]

Ritsa titled her head to the side. Like like Fia? What exactly did that mean?

[color=f7976a]"Uhm...Fia is pretty? Friends? Like yes?"[/color] Ritsa replied with a grin. The Hydra really had no idea what Fia was asking at all. She liked tons of people and everything! As if to cement her answer further, Ritsa released her briefly from the hug and walked back over to the stream before waiting by the waters edge for a few moments and pulling out another fish. She walked back over to Fia and handed her the fish. [color=f7976a]"Friends share! Fia friend!"[/color]

[h3][center][color=aba000]~Sorcha~[/color][/center][/h3]

[color=aba000]"Tsk~"[/color] Sorcha giggled lightly, rolling off of the knight and onto her side next to her. She wrapped Luna in a hug. [color=aba000]"I'm not the pervert here that is apparently thinking dirty thoughts. I just went with a...tactical disarming to win the fight!~"[/color] She grinned. [color=aba000]"You fought well, though heh! If I was even halfway serious though I would have made little luna-kebabs for lunch."[/color] It seemed for now though, that Sorcha was just content to lay there for a bit, hugging Luna for a few seconds. 

That is, until without warning Luna would feel something gently nibbling the ear closest to Sorcha.

[color=aba000]"Hehe, maybe I still will...you certainly are tasty~"[/color] The dragon giggled into the knights ear. She bit it again. [color=aba000]"Hehe...usually when the dragon beats the brave knight, they get the princess...but I'll take the brave strong Knight as my plaything instead~"[/color]
