She was in no rush, though after 20 minutes or so the remarks from the fox were beginning to grate on Alysias nerves. She clenched and uncleaned her hands, lately it seemed as if her bones had begun to grate together, though Alysia was not sure if this was due to her age, or simply her own paranoia about her age tricking her. Her ears twitched as she heard the sound of her master and his wolf approaching. She turned to watch them, but he dismissed her with a wave of his hand. The wolf exited the lounge and rolled her eyes, Alysia understood how she felt, the fox was a little witch, but around the humans she turned so sweet it was disgusting. Their master called the wolf back, asing her to fetch tea. The wolf left, and smiled at Alysia [b][i]"Want to come with?"[/i][/b] she whispered. Alysia grinned [b]"Sure"[/b] she whispered [b]Not sure how much longer I can listen to that brat[/b] [center]𝕄𝕒π•ͺ𝕖[/center] Maye was bored. Her master had yet to return, and worse the pine marten was refusing to respond. Maye supposed it was because the marten was dying, after all the brawny creature only had about two years of life left, that would get to anyone. Maye heard the unmistakable sound of her masters footsepts, she checked that all was in order and arranged her face into a pleasant docile smile. Mayes master entered and smiled at her, behind him was his freakish wolf. May did not understand why anyone would want to keep a creature like that around, the wolf looked like a living skeleton, and was far too tall for a female in Mayes opinion. Her master began to speak, catching Mayes full attention. [b][i]"Ah, Maye, how are you? Been practicing for the contest this weekend? Can't afford to lose face to Darren Winterhold now can we!"[/i][/b] Before Maye could respond he sent the scowling wolf to get tea, much to Mayes delight. After all he would never have sent Maye to do something as menial as fetch tea. [b]"Oh yes master, all my time, other than sleeping and being with you I spend on my routine. There's no way I'll lose to some chinchilla[/b] Maye gave her master one of her sweetest smiles [b]How are you today master? The servants told me your hunt ended early, I hope that those old gen 3's are not already burning up![/b] Maye gave a tinkling laugh, but stopped when she realised Sebastian wasn't laughing too [b]"Is something wrong master?"[/b] she asked, a note of fear in her voice.
