Unlike Smitten Kitten, she didn’t hiss or claw at the excited adventurer. Instead, a bit of a purr rumbled from her throat as she was given all sorts of kind attention before she was finally released. Naturally, everyone had their questions and concerns about the Serei and the Tower. [color=7bcdc8]“I’m trusting you to man the bar while I take care of our wonderful guests newbie!”[/color] she said with a salute towards Lin.

Then she spun on her heel to address the larger group at hand. First was Rose. [color=7bcdc8]“I’m pretty sure there’s an airship or something like that around the Tower somewhere. There’s so many floors and so many places to go that I wouldn’t be surprised. But you gotta find it first lass~”[/color] As vague as it was, it was to be expected of the Tower’s nature and it did confirm one thing. Even the bartender didn’t know what was above or below her café, though truthfully was anyone expecting the drunken feline to?

[color=7bcdc8]“Serei are much more than just summons to use in times of crisis dear,”[/color] Cait said, now looking at Akiko. [color=7bcdc8]“They can be your friends and companions! Maybe something more…and you can even take on their power for yourselves~ There are two ways to use a Serei after all; summon one to assist or absorb their card to temporarily gain their powers. But you better make sure you’re careful if you’re doing the latter. Wouldn’t want to get stuck with a useless card in the heat of things, am I right~?”[/color]

How exactly that process underwent was perhaps better to use when the group was actually in danger. It didn’t really matter either way, at least not to Touka. She merely stood near Umi with crossed arms and a forward frown. Once the girl tried to gauge her own abilities, she fixated a piercing glare onto her. [b][color=springgreen]“Tch. Why don’t you ask Kanbaru over there what I’m capable of. I’ve got no weaknesses, clearly. Besides, if you’re happy enough to [i]lick[/i] my card then you’ll have no problem playing trivia with that idiot.”[/color][/b]

And speaking of the blue-haired pseudo-mage, Touka whirled right around to glare on her now. [b][color=springgreen]“Don’t even think about funny ideas just because I’m data. Unless you want both of your hands thoroughly cut off.”[/color][/b] Huffing once more, she continued to glare at anyone that so much as looked at her with a miasma of negativity and darkness that felt much too real to be empty threats. “Dark Magical Girl” was probably more accurate of a title than one might think if Touka’s card was anything to go by.

[color=7bcdc8]“By the way dears, you’re free to explore at any time. But my shop won’t be open 24/7 so better stock up on what you can now.”[/color] Cait leaned over onto the bar and her tail swished behind her. The pink in her cheeks began to die down and she stared from Umi to Rose then Tokuda surprisingly enough. [color=7bcdc8]“Which one of you’s the leader? Ahh, it don’t matter. But I do need a legal name to call your group and mark down in the records. So, what’ll it be dears?”[/color]
