[center][h3][color=wheat]Otille Kohler[/color][/h3][/center] Otille nodded as the headmistress explained more about Sorcha. Though the monetary thoughts were quickly disregarded as Cocoa was brought up. A 'familiar'? The farmer tilted their head. The peasant had heard that word in passing, but she'd hardly ever seen a mage in her life. Was it some sort of complex spell? Those were the strange looking animal people walking around sometimes, right? Or were they tamed myths? She could make Cocoa into one? A large smile crossed Otille's face as she practically shook with excitement. SHE COULD KEEP COCOA! The girl let out a sigh of happy relief as she picked up her bag. [color=wheat]"Really? Oh my, thank you so much!"[/color] Aside from instinctively picking up her belongings, it seemed any thought about money was quickly discarded. She practically sprinted out of the door before forcing herself to stop in the doorway, waving politely at Livia. [color=wheat]"Thank you so much madam! Lady!"[/color] And she was gone as soon as she had arrived. [hr] Luckily, her excitement had died down enough on the way back that despite being told to figure out for herself, she approached someone that had a bat winged girl following them around. Otille asked them about the ritual, and a lot of the confusion was quickly cleared up - as much as it could be for a peasant. Luckily she was also told to at least bring a large blanket or robe or some spare clothes - if it was placed on or near the familiar, they would appear wrapped in them already when they were summoned, even being resized to a degree if it was necessary. The farm girl returned to the tavern and approached Cocoa in the stables. For a few moments, Otille hesitated as she began to reach out towards Cocoa ... Would she want to be summoned? As a servant? The girl seemed happy enough as she was as she let out a content moo, pressing herself against the farmer who petted her softly, cowbell ringing. A small smile crossed the cowherd's face. Probably. What would she be like? Clingy was obvious enough - Cocoa had more than one time slipped into the house from the fields to watch over her as she slept, fence be damned. But would she be serious? Funny? A few more minutes of speculating the cowherd realized she had no idea if the cow currently in fact had any sort of internal monologue or- Otille laughed as Cocoa rammed softly into her, upset that the rubbings had come to an end and likely sensing her own natural worry. [color=wheat]"Fine fine, I'll get to it."[/color] The peasant dropped some of her spare clothes on top of the cattle before standing a couple feet away, looking over the stable. The cowherd coughed twice, clearing her throat as if she was preparing to give some grand speech. She hadn't ever used magic before, so would this count as her first spell ever cast? She hoped she didn't mess up. [color=wheat]"Cocoa! I um,"[/color] Ottile winced as she said [i]um[/i] in the middle of her spell. [color=wheat]", would like you to become my servant as I summon you to be my familiar ...?"[/color] That's what she was supposed to say? Either way, she winced slightly as she felt something change inside herself as if she was [i]offering[/i] some portion of herself to Cocoa.

[color=salmon]"Study? The erotica?"[/color] A quick eye glance over at the shelf revealed several other volumes that likely had similar content. Was she studying anatomy? No matter the answer, the next question needed to be responded to. [color=salmon]"She was busy ... thought I'd go visit some people?"[/color] The crimson haired girl paused for a few moments. She'd been over here for a bit, and given the time she had spent walking around it was entirely possible that Livia's lunch break was coming up. [color=salmon]"Oh? I-I should head back ..."[/color] Something from the books she had said that was rude. [color=salmon]"Tomorrow save me from paperwork ... 'friends' stuff?"[/color] Fia headed towards the door, waved goodbye, and scampered off awkwardly. [hr] A few minutes after Otille left, Fia reappeared as she entered the office, walking towards Livia. [color=salmon]"Sorry ... was bored."[/color] She swore to god if she was told to do paperwork again she'd light the damn stack on fire.
