The cat of course factually understood that Avaline was, in fact, larger than her. Understanding the dim-witted lizard on meant length though, the prowler of the night's facial expressions lightened up a bit. Until the 'D for Dragon comment' and flaunting her chest appropriately. [color=blue]"Hey! It's not my fault!"[/color] Meowka stood up, clearly angry about the entire situation. [color=blue]"Those [i]kahaunkas[/i] of yours are practically unnatural!"[/color] The cat's eyes widened, as if she was ready to pounce. [color=gray]"Great great great ..."[/color] Sel looked around a little desperately as she tried to prevent the fight from happening. [color=gray]"Meowka! What letter comes after E?"[/color] A brief glance at the cat revealed she didn't know, and didn't care. [color=gray]"Eph! And do you know what else starts with F?"[/color] Meowka stared dumbly at the mage, contemplating how to eat today's lizard dinner. [color=gray]"Fish! Fish start with F!"[/color] The cat wasn't happy, but calmed down about hearing that. Selvina looked around, relived, as she tried to come up with contingencies in the next situations where the nitwits decided to murder each other. She looked to the doll for advice, hoping Katherine would have an idea of what to do here.

[color=lightyellow]"Hey! Wait!"[/color] Aetheria practically shouted at the snow girl as she began to leave, rushing behind the reception desk and looking for something. It felt really ridiculous, but Aetheria pulled out a small container containing a funnel cake. [color=lightyellow]"Thank you for helping ... um ... here you go ... enjoy."[/color] All around, it was awkward for the white mage to do this sort of kindness. Livia had instructed her several times to be nicer to the students because due to her dual role as 'displinarian' people were starting to come up with names like 'scary mean nurse' or 'that white bitch'. She didn't think living at a magic academy excused people to do uncalled for hooligan acts - so if she was going to reward people, it would be the helpful ones. She at least hoped it tasted good. As Mugi left, the white mage looked in a rather irritated manner at the cat girl. [color=lightyellow]"And YOU."[/color] Maoin looked up, largely unfazed by the angry mage in front of her. [color=lightyellow]"... Come on."[/color] The cat followed the white mage obediently, being led into an examination room. [hr] The lecturing eventually came to an end, the white mage finishing the final wrap of the bandage around the kitten's painfully blistered hands - no magic had been used for any wound, although a small amount of alcohol had been applied as a disinfectant. When Maoin stood to leave, the nurse shook her head no and pushed the cat back down onto the padded examination table. [color=darkslateblue]"Hey, what do y-"[/color] [color=lightyellow]"I'm sorry, but you've committed an act of self-harm - and not just now, because there's an improperly healed scar on your left arm too. And you've also been in a fight."[/color] The cat paused to protest, but Aetheria silenced it with an angry glare. [color=lightyellow]"As the nurse, I can't let you leave until a responsible party comes by to pick you up - probably your mistress. A note will be left on your door so she knows to come find you, and I'll ask her how to handle you."[/color] Once again Maoin wanted to protest, but the mage just kept talking. [color=lightyellow]"The room will also try and sedate you if you think about doing anything stupid to it or yourself, so don't bother. Now, I'm going because I have other things to do. Bye."[/color] [color=darkslateblue]"H-hey!"[/color] The nurse ignored the cat's protest, leaving the room and locking Maoin in from the outside as she turned down a hallway. The kitten sighed, a little angered, but ultimately decided that any further protest was useless as she slouched against a wall and began waiting. [hr] There was a small note eventually left on the door to Luna's dorm room. [i]To The Grand Dragon Lady Sorcha, Your servant, Maoin, was found by another student in the woods and brought to my office. Your cat has signs of self-harm and of having recently been in a fight, both of which have had her sustain light wounds. She is fine and in no danger of declining, so there is no immediate need to rush. That being said, she is being held in my office until you or another responsible party picks her up. Stop by the outskirts of the forest on your way here - you'll quickly find a destructive scene. Thanks, Aetheria.[/i] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/HuFvrKV.jpg[/img][/center] [color=salmon]"Fine!"[/color] Using the color coding method, Fia had decided to go with a cherry drink - it was the same color as her hair, after all. Taking another sip of the red liquid, the phoenix smiled at the girl in front of her. [color=salmon]"Thanks ..."[/color] For a few minutes, Fia was content to bask in the happiness of the moment until she realized the implication of what Lyssa had said. [color=salmon]"Royalty? You?"[/color] The fourteen-year old tilted her head as if a little confused. That seemed a bit absurd to her, but she had heard and seen stranger things in her dreams. Lyssa didn't ACT like a princess, though. Maybe it was just one of her silly creations? [center][h3][color=wheat]Otille Kohler[/color][/h3][/center] Otille winced slightly, but was able to withstand this largely intense scrubbing for the most part as she tried to not get pushed over by Cocoa's efforts. [color=wheat]"... friend works just fine, Cocoa."[/color] The farmer let out a sigh - a combination of gratefulness that her cow didn't try some sort of strange and misled seduction attempt and mild irritation as Cocoa had managed to miss at least part of the point. It probably wasn't worth trying to explain right now, but there was another thing to talk about. [color=wheat]"Hey, Cocoa, I talked with the ... 'mean woman' ... and she said you nearly hurt a lot of people and damaged some stuff on the way to get me. I love you, but you can't stampede through town simply because you don't know where I am."[/color] It felt bad, but Otille needed to tell Cocoa this even if it hurt her familiar's feelings a little. [color=wheat]"I'll try and warn you better if I have to be gone, but that wasn't acceptable behavior. I got in trouble because of it, alright?"[/color] Otille turned around, using a single arm to cover her chest as she gave the cow a slight bop on the head before rubbing her ear right ear softly for a few moments. [color=wheat]"I know you feel protective of me, but I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself. And besides, this campus is safe, alright Cocoa?"[/color] The novice mage paused for a moment, waiting for the cow's immediate response to this before continuing. [color=wheat]"Also, I'm going on a date with Lady Luna after this bath - I want you to stay here and be responsible, alright? There's people in the tavern you can talk to so you won't feel lonely."[/color] Later Otille would be glad to help her wonder the streets, but probably simplification would be more useful to the cow's thoughts than trying to explain exactly what she could and couldn't do with other people.
