[colour=DAA520]”Flatterer,”[/colour] Yui replied with a grin. [colour=DAA520]”You’re pretty talented yourself.”[/colour] Shifting slightly, she twisted to face Nanami more fully. [colour=DAA520]”And I don’t just mean the singing. I’ve been a Soldier-for-Hire since I was eighteen, and in the seventeen years I’ve been doing this I can think of only a small handful that move like you on the battlefield; and they’d all been at this a lot longer.”[/colour]

Without realizing, a soft smile crept across Yui’s lips as she admired Nanami. [colour=DAA520]”Forgive me for asking, but how did [i]you[/i] end up here? I know you’re Jing’s daughter and all, but you’re your voice and your looks…well I’m surprised you’re not fending of handsome suitors with a spear…”[/colour] Chuckling at her own joke, she forced herself to [i]not[/i] brush a stray bit of hair that had fallen across Nanami’s face.

[colour=DAA520][i][b]This is a bad idea…remember Countess Zeng’s daughter?[/b] That was different; I was much drunker.[/i][/colour]

She let out a bit of a sigh and rubbed her eyes; she’d been sitting there with her grimoire since before the rest of the Irregulars had gotten up, trying to find anything relevant in her notes regarding what she’d at least perceived about Miss Octavia, but to no effect. [colour=6A5ACD][i]No sense in burning out over it; I’ll just ask her…eventually.[/i][/colour]

Tucking her book back into her robes, she noticed Ehri crossing the common room with a rather [i]fresh[/i] piece of meat in her hand. This threw Isbeil off for a moment, at least until she remembered the wildling’s animal ‘companions’. [colour=6A5ACD][i]Perhaps I can distract myself with [b]this[/b] little mystery for the time being.[/i][/colour] She stood to follow after Ehri, only to be stopped by a rumbling in her guts that was loud enough to make her blush; sure she’d been up early, but she’d yet to eat anything. Sure she used her unmentioned abilities to sustain her extended lifespan, but she was no litch, she still needed to eat.

Stepping into the kitchen herself, she acquired a bowl of soup and consumed it as fast as was practical; it was simply ‘fuel’ after all. Hunger sated, she headed out to back to hopefully have a word with the Beast-mistress. [colour=6A5ACD]”Oh! I apologise, I did not mean to interrupt.”[/colour] She said suddenly, stepping outside to find Alm already speaking with Ehri.
