[color=f7976a][h3][center]~Ritsa & Cynthia~[/center][/h3][/color] [b]"Fia!"[/b] Cynthia sharply turned her attention to the phoenix. [b]"Prepare the lettuce. We are making a salad."[/b] Cynthia pointed to a head of lettuce. [b]"Salt, pepper, spices and set some dishes out on the table."[/b] She continued to work, gutting and preparing the fish while she talked. She tried to make quick work of it, so as to at least not disturb either of the children. Despite Ritsa's initial reaction, the child was curious after all and she couldn't really bring herself to really be afraid of Mugi...just the fact that she was extremely cold to the touch. The hydra inched her way over to the Yuki-Onna, staring at her intensely, as if trying to figure out how she should deal with this person. [h3][center][color=aba000]~Sorcha~[/color][/center][/h3] [color=aba000]"I will have none of that."[/color] Sorcha replied curtly. This was obviously a somewhat touchy subject for the kitten - it was easy to tell for the dragon at least. She wasn't born yesterday. [color=aba000]"The sleeping arrangements will not change as I and Luna have no intention of doing anything like that."[/color] She continued, sighing and shaking her head. [color=aba000]"Little One, I am unsure how you think sometimes."[/color] Truthfully, the way the kitten behaved baffled the dragon completely sometimes. [h3][center][color=6ecff6]~Miren~[/color][/center][/h3] [color=1b1464]"Did ya get it?"[/color] From a few shelves over, a familiar voice could be heard by Kozue and Sel. [color=f6989d]"Yep, got it. Bunny buns doesn't even know we're here."[/color] There was an impish giggle followed by the sound of someone quickly flipping through the pages of some book. [color=1b1464]"This'll be great. It's gonna be the best festival ever, eheh!"[/color] [color=6ecff6]"I'm sorry, what was that about bunny buns not being here?"[/color] [color=1b1464]"Ack! It's the book police!"[/color] [color=f6989d]"Quick, flee my cohort! Take the goods with you!"[/color] [color=1b1464]"Not without you, my dear accomplice!"[/color] [color=f6989d]"But you must! One of us must stay behind to hold off the police!"[/color] [color=1b1464]"No, I refuse to leave you my adorable demon!"[/color] [color=6ecff6]"...what are uhm, you two even doing?"[/color] [color=f6989d]"Whaaha, you can't get us keeper of books! For we have already used our ultimate plan! Lyssa used distraction, it was super effective!"[/color] [color=6ecff6]"W-wait there's a perfectly good door!"[/color] There was the sound of one of the windows in front of the shop being shattered along with the giggling of Lyssa and Ayumi as they bolted away from the store. A few seconds later, Miren rounded the corner of the bookshelves looking more than a little distraught. [color=6ecff6]"...This little bunny bun feels violated for some reason."[/color] She whined slightly. [color=6ecff6]"Ahh, that's going to cost so much money to repaaaair. I'll have to take out the whole window and then track down that book they took."[/color] She frowned, shaking her head as her ears drooped. [color=6ecff6]"Aaah, if I see them again this little bunny bun is going to put her buns to work and kick their buns..."[/color] She turned her head towards Kozue. [color=6ecff6]"But erm...Eith is upstairs, probably waiting for me to finish work."[/color]
