Fia jumped back at the sound of the crash as she heard something collapsing in the room.  The phoenix hoped she hadn't startled her too badly, but as a recovered Lyssa appeared at the door without any injury with a strange and cheerful greeting the fourteen year old was sure everything was fine.

[color=salmon]"Hi Lyssa - um ... trap?"[/color]  Sounded a little scary, but she was pretty sure the pink haired woman wasn't evil.  [color=salmon]"I mean, I could do either?"[/color]  She hadn't really thought of anything to talk about aside from casual visiting small talk - which really involved her being quiet and letting the other person feel awkward as they tried to fill the air's silence.

Meowka smiled as she was patted.  Yeah, she was going to enjoy herself, but she'd say hi if she happened to see the woman.  [color=blue]"I'll be home by then ..."[/color]  Though as the puppeteer confirmed her request the cat smiled even more.  Yes!  This is what she wanted!  She'd- [color=blue]"H-hey!  What do you mean by that!?"[/color]  Meowka's cheeks flushed.

Before she could get upset about it, the strange looking woman approached out of the blue asking for help.  Her mistress had errands, and she was promised a day off.  No way she was sticking around for this.  She gave a quick curtsy - however you were supposed to do it - so she could claim she excused herself, and hoped Mistress Katherine wasn't looking as she did it or watching as she began to make her escape.

Unless Kat quickly grabbed her familiar, the cat would soon be out of reach and would mysteriously be overcome with deafness.

[color=wheat]"Y-yes Mad- Ma'am."[/color]  It was clear the peasant girl was a little nervous and overwhelmed as the bunny girl passed her - who she waved a soft hello to in reply to the smile.  As she arrived at the desk, she lowered the bag to the ground and gave a small polite curtsy that she hoped was sufficiently proper for the lady in front of her.  Then some excitement began to fill her veins.  She was here, her trip was done, and she'd finally begin the next stage of her life!  A few giddy words escaped her lips.  [color=wheat]"I'd like to enro-"[/color]  Then she shut her mouth.

She should probably introduce herself first.  Y'know, say hello, like a normal person.  [color=wheat]"H-hello.  I'm Otille Kolher."[/color]  She waved slightly again.  [color=wheat]"I'm from a small village in the northern part of the empire, family is cowh-"[/color]  She probably didn't want to listen to her life story.

[color=wheat]"I-I'm sorry.  I've just been on the roads for a while."[/color]  The girl tried to suppress both her nervousness and her excitement, and was partially successful at both.  She'd thought about this moment for months - on the trip she'd even talked to a tree as practice.  What did she say to the tree again?

[color=wheat]"I'm Otille Kolher, and I would like to enroll in St. Sappho Academy ..."[/color]  The girl paused for a moment, trying to remember her script.  [color=wheat]"... at the start of next ... semester."[/color]  That was the right word for a half-year, right?  [color=wheat]"I ... I'm not sure what the rate is, but I think I can afford it."[/color]  Her eyes drifted down to the bag.
