After all, it was normal of animals to try to appear bigger when they felt threatened. Not that Hohenheim had any treacherous intention in mind but, someone with muscle tissue in place of a brain certainly couldn't get it, right? [color=ffd700]"Well, can I, the Alchemist of Genesis, not rest for a bit without having second intentions? I did not expect you to greet me with such a sight,"[/color] Hohenheim cast a look from Titanica's head to her toes, [color=ffd700]"but I'll take whatever I can. You know me: there's no experiment too unethical no road too dangerous that I wouldn't cross for the sake of knowledge."[/color]

[color=ffd700]"Now, if you aren't offering yourself for a ride, why don't you do like the kitten over there and soak these hormones of yours?"[/color] Hohenheim added with her characteristic smugness, before concluding, [color=ffd700]"As for your 'concerns', I actually have little interest in them. If you really desire to know. Yet, the very fact that your nature is so unpredictable makes you worthy of observing. Just like microwave popcorn: no two packs are ever the same."[/color]

[color=ffd700]"Now then,"[/color] she addressed the bashful cat, [color=ffd700]"Now that you commented on the Angels. They did well. One could almost say that the stars favored them. In fact, my reward for them should be arriving at their leader's lap at any moment. I can only imagine that she will find it quite pleasing. Regarding your second question, let's just say that there's more between Heaven and Hell than a bunch of bolt buckets. I and Miss Curvy Lizard are related in a certain way. However, the whole lecture would likely be well beyond your cognitive faculties. It's best to save you from a migraine."[/color] Hohenheim replied to Zyata's questions before turning her gaze back at Titanica, waiting for the lizard's reply.

[color=f49ac2]"Mhmm~"[/color] At first, Saef's nudge was good only to compel the Librarian to toss around her desk, finding a new —more comfortable— position to continue her nap. She was indeed a feline true to her heart, such a simple attempt at rousing her would never succeed. Maybe if he had food with him, things would fare differently. Or, maybe it wouldn't be needed at all...

As soon as a second voice joined Saef in a conversation, the feline fairy's ear perked up ever so slightly. However, she deemed the newest arrival to not be any source of trouble for the time being and simply tossed around again, feigning to unconsciously reach for Saef's hand. It wasn't within the Librarian's nature to simply forfeit the chance to get any free treats. She just needed to get Saef to understand the message while using her inherent deception skills. [color=f49ac2]"Mhmm~"[/color] She let out another purr.

[color=ffd700]"If you are asking whether we are new here or not, I'd say the answer is yeah, Miss,"[/color] Diana replied to the sinister looking clerk without so much as a hint of apprehension. In fact, she smiled widely —perhaps a bit too earnestly, to say the trust— as she continued to say, [color=ffd700]"Don't they say that ignorance is a bliss? But, if it's an insurmountable bliss... would it be like, hmm... eating a year's worth of desserts all at once? That certainly feels like something that's so good that it becomes bad, I think,"[/color] Diana digressed, slipping right through some weird tangent.

A moment later, she snapped back to reality, laughing tersely. [color=ffd700]"Ahem, anyway,"[/color] Diana corrected her posture before continuing, [color=ffd700]"the two of us are here on an adventure... I guess? That's certainly what it looks like to me. We came looking for a place to train for a bit. I think this land is cool enough for us to do our thing. So... is there any adventure to be had around here?" [/color]
