[b]Warrior's Rest, Athena's room:[/b]

With all the excessive amounts of layered fabric removed, they could finally get started. Once Dahlia sat down on the bed, Athena merely stated that she would begin - before moving behind Dahlia and sitting down on her knees behind the girl,  lifting both her hands to hover them a very short distance from the young woman's skin. The goddess said some words pertaining to herself, her familia and her blessing, then proceed to state that she now blessed the child before her.

A luminous light began to glow from Dahlia's back, yet it felt almost as nothing was happening. A slight tingling sensatiion, barely enough to be even noticed. The light, however, shone with such vigor that the rest of the room was cast into shadoq infront of Dahlia., while the back of the room where Athena was sitting was rather bright. The entire process took no more than a few minutes, and once Athena removed her hands, the glow faded.

In her hands, the Goddess now held s small, hand-sized scrap of what looked to be paper, or perhaps parchment, with something written on it. After eyeing the piece of paper for a bit, Athena then looked at Dahlia, smiled 
 very slightly and held the paper-scrap out to the girl.

"There we go. All done, and here's your status sheet." A statement void of grandeur, pompous theatrics or even a hint of formal ceremony. It was more akin to the Goddess having given the girl a pat on the shoulder and handed her a recipe for omelettes - nothing grand, nothing spectacular, nothing awe-inspiring or incredibly amazing.

"You should feel a slight bit different after a little while. When we bestow the blessing and update your status, it's a bit like forcefully making your body grow or change in regards to what you've done." She tried to keep it as simple as possible. "Basically, depending on what you do from here on, your body will grow in a certain way whenever we update your status next. Now, do you have any questions before I go get the next person?"

She was still sitting on her knees, hands resting on the topside of her thighs. Her posture was straight and her face was like that of a kindhearted teacher, looking at their pupil and waiting to see what they would ask - if anything - before sending them off to their assignment on their own.*

[b]Warrior's Rest, downstairs dining area:[/b]

When the little pallum-brawler stated that they would be getting accepted as an unerring absolute, Tira couldn't help but laugh happily, whereas Grent merely gave a grumble and muttering something about arrogant kids. However, when the boy then asked about how the two of them had managed to impress Athena, Tira stopped laughing and Grent turned to look the kid square in the eyes - a most scowling expression his aged face.

"What's the point of a test if we give you the answer?" The old chienthrope rumbled, obviously not very fond of this question.
"I mean, I get what you're askin'..." Tira said, hands now held behind her head like a faux headrest. "... But I think Lady Athena wants us to each figure out for ourselves how to complete it. There's not really any right or wrong way, just do what you think might work." The pallum girl said, a more thoughtful or contemplative expression on her face when compared to the old man. "But I don't think we should tell you how or what [i]we[/i] did either, 'cause then you could just try and copy it as a way to shortcut your way in... And then we'd get spankin'." She finished with a smile and a wink.
"[i]You'd[/i] get spanked. The old man corrected.
Tira began laughing again, saying that it was probably the truth and how her bum still was a bit sore from last time.
