[color=teal][h3][center]Mugi the Yuki-Onna[/center][/h3][/color] Mugi couldn't help but smile at Cynthia as she went back to work. She then made her wave over to Ritsa and lowered herself a bit. She went out to pet Ritsa's head but caught herself before she got close and retracted. [color=teal]"I'm sorry about Cynthia. She's just a bit protective. Oh, but I do love that about her."[/color] The Yuki-Onna added with a giggle. [color=teal]"But, I'm sorry if I scared you. I didn't think you'd be bad to my touch."[/color] She was a cute girl either way. [color=tan][h3][center]Kozue Komichi[/center][/h3][/color] [color=tan]"What do you mean specifically?"[/color] Kozue asked, [color=tan]"The fact that she shouldn't have the freedom to walk around as she is? That she 'killed' her sister? That she took power from Yomi?"[/color] Most of those were reason enough her movements restricted, but somehow these people convinced the White Fox inside of her to let the Black Fox leave on the condition she was contracted. [color=tan]"Actually, I thought you mages could have only one contracted being. Was that hound not contracted to you? She seemed fairly devoted to protecting you at the temple."[/color]
