Fia gasped in surprise as she was suddenly lifted, waving her arms around frantically in momentary surprise as the three of them bolted away from the target practice.  Eventually the three of them settled down and the bird once again found her feet on the ground.  The phoenix gave Gwynn an angry look and for one of the few times in her life raise her voice at the woman but the girl noticeably paused as she noticed one of Livia's specters watching over them.

She didn't understand why they needed to be chaperoned like this.  The former maid couldn't be more than 3 years older than her and based on her experience in the mansion had a lot of maturing to do.  And [i]she[/i] had been the one who started the cheating despite being their supervisor.  But like for most of her life the girl remained silent and simply scowled at Gwynn before taking a step behind Ritsa when her blood began to cool down.

Her own suggestion had gone badly, and partially due to her own fault.  She poked Ritsa and hoped that the girl would be willing to pick out the next interesting thing that was nearby them.

The kitten returned to the dorm, dropped off the dress, and packed a basket with various foodstuffs for them to enjoy at the game.  A couple small sandwiches for snacks, some cool water, and a couple other things.  Soon enough Maoin hurried back out to the field so that her owner wouldn't be left waiting and eventually found her in a private stand with several extremely comfortable chairs.  The kitten at first didn't sit down and instead approached her owner.

The cat pulled out a gift wrapped bottle, took a gulp, and tried to gather Lady Sorcha's attention while they still had a bit of alone time before Lady Luna's match began.  [color=darkslateblue]"Happy festival mistress!"[/color]  The girl started to pass the bottle over but paused reaching into the bag once again and pulled out another wrapped object that was about twice as tall as a person's hand.  [color=darkslateblue]"And I remembered one this time!"[/color]  The kitten's ears twitched and tail waved back and forth as she made her proclamation, obviously placing some pride in it.

If Lady Sorcha decided to open the gifts she would find a bottle of Nordic Mead that the cat hoped would remind her of home.  It probably wasn't anywhere near the finest ale the Radiant Queen of the Heavens had drank, but the kitten had saved as much of her allowance as possible and hoped it was at least passable.  The second wrapped object was a tall glass with slight decorations in it.  Nothing a noble would ever purchase but it was well constructed if not fancy and had the words 'Mistress Sorcha' engraved in it.  The kitten looked down a bit nervously after a while and put her fingers together.  [color=darkslateblue]"I-I know it isn't a lot mistress, but thanks a lot for everything."[/color]  Her eyes drifted over towards the glass.  [color=darkslateblue]"A-and the engraving was a mistake.  I-I told them to put my mistress 'Lady Sorcha' on the glass and they wouldn't refund me.  I know it's not one of your preferred titles but ..."[/color]

Of course the moment Lady Lightsword entered the field the crowd went quiet.  As the knightess raised her lance though as a sign of salute for the spectators the crowd went crazy.  Jousting competitions were always an exciting thing to watch for both the highest noble and the lowest peasant as they waited for lances to shatter ... but with her mistress love doing it the kitten felt more concern than anything else.  Eventually the crowd quieted and the cat turned towards Lady Sorcha.
