The cat didn't like any sort of puppy, but if it was for the sake of her owner and her subordinates it was acceptable. As for Selvina, she looked towards the teacher with a slightly white face. The labors of Hercules? That was a bit ... much ... it seemed? Hopefully she'd only be apprenticed for a short period of time in that case? [color=gray]"Uh ... Yeah, thank you. I'll be um glad to work with you, Miss Lindall."[/color] Sel shook her head at the headmistress' suggestion. [color=gray]"I'll look for help around for the house on my own then, in addition to someone to staff it."[/color] At least someone else would be cleaning things if she was going to be worked like a slave. [color=gray]"I'll be sure to arrange something with him, then. I'll return to Miss Lindall if I have any other questions."[/color] The mage bowed before turning to leave. As for Meowka, her ears perked up and tail shot up. Despite Livia's attempt to make it clear that her mage was her former student Meowka did not seem to notice. Whether it was because of the first half of the statement was distracting her or if she simply believed this to be some sort of teacher surpasses the student situation, only the gods could tell. Either way, her cheek puffed up (rather adorably) as she seemed to hold her emotions in before delivering an answer. [color=blue]"Well she obviously is powerful because she managed to capture me. Only the strongest could ever accomplish that."[/color] The cat spoke as if it was some sort of grand accomplishment. [color=blue]"And besides, she has an army of dolls that obey her every whim."[/color] For a couple of seconds Meowka stared at Livia. [color=blue]"And she also has the power of sex appeal. You might be the headmistress, but she could teach you some lessons in that area."[/color] In spite of herself, the cat began to blush just a bit. Not because she was lying, but because surely she'd be teased by the dollmaster later about it.

Yes, the woman who had disabled her on their trip - and also saved her life. Despite having had to large possibility of having killed her, the cat didn't hold it against the chimera. She had just been defending her home. She was at least glad to be able to escape Avaline's antics with what would hopefully be a decent conversation. [color=darkslateblue]"It's been going well, Khira. I'm currently escorting Miss Avaline around the lake."[/color] It would be obvious this was at least a bit painful for the servant. [color=darkslateblue]"Has the city been treating you well?"[/color] The cat spoke a bit with a smile. [color=darkslateblue]"If you're wanting some company, you can walk with us. After all, you saved my life."[/color] Maoin broadened her smile and giggled a bit, hopefully making it apparent that it had been a small joke.

Hopefully Cocoa would just remain asleep, but Otille informed the barkeep to tell the cow that she had gone out for just a bit if her familiar came downstairs - the german was near confident the former livestock couldn't read. It was still a while until she'd need to meet up with Lady Luna - Otille's cheeks flushed more than she cared to admit just thinking about the dreamy woman - but for now she needed to think about finding a job. Perhaps the headmistress could help with that, and possibly sort out this situation with the dragon? Either way, she didn't want to see the 'appraiser' again, that was for sure. Cynthia would hear a knock on the manor door as the farmer headed to the wrong location, looking to speak to the Headmistress at home.
