One moment Olivia was bombarding her new friend with questions, the next, the roar of a mighty torrent drew her attention to the massive Pageless, which was even now being dissolved by a swirling vortex of water. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Oh, wow! That’s really amazing!”[/color] the azure-clad beauty exclaimed with an excited grin. [color=LightSkyBlue]“I wouldn’t have thought plain old water would have such a pronounced effect on it! Or maybe it [i]isn’t[/i] just plain old water? I mean, it’s [i]obviously[/i] magical water, but, like, maybe it’s holy water?”[/color] the alluring maiden mused, her lovely visage taking on a thoughtful expression. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Is that a thing that works on Pageless? I guess they [i]could[/i] be considered somewhat demonic, [sub]they’re certainly cute enough,[/sub] but I’m not sure if they entirely count… What do you think?”[/color] she asked Goodhope.

Fortunately for Olivia (and [i]un[/i]fortunately for Goodhope herself), now that the battle had concluded, the maritime maiden was finally able to give some attention to the babbling beauty, something said beauty wasted no time in taking full advantage of…

[color=LightSkyBlue]“Sorry?”[/color] She echoed with a confused frown when Wilhelmina apologized. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Sorry for what?”[/color] The nautical-themed girl then went on to thank Olivia for respecting her wishes, which left the azure-clad maiden even [i]more[/i] perplexed. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Um, you’re very welcome?”[/color] she replied, her confusion clear in her voice. However, when Wilhelmina introduced herself, Olivia’s confusion quickly turned to unbridled joy. [color=LightSkyBlue]“It’s so very nice to meet you as well, Wilhelmina!”[/color] she replied with a giggle, while enthusiastically shaking the girl’s hand. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Like I said earlier, I’m Magical Maiden Ethereal Rose, but my real name’s Olivia, so you can just call me that! Oh gosh!”[/color] she added upon hearing the suggestion of meeting the others. [color=LightSkyBlue]“I’d love to!”[/color]

However, before that could take place, the nightmarish form of Thyerg’Xolys loomed up behind the fair maiden. [color=MediumBlue]“Ah, I see you’ve already made a new friend, my sweet. Would you be so kind as to introduce her?”[/color]

[color=LightSkyBlue]“Of course! Thyerg’Xolys, please meet Wilhelmina, aka Captain Goodhope! She’s the one who conjured all those ghost sailors!”[/color]

[color=MediumBlue]“A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Captain,”[/color] Xolys said with a bow. [color=MediumBlue]“You must be quite talented to maintain so many spectral constructs at once.”[/color]

[color=LightSkyBlue]“She really is!”[/color] Olivia agreed. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Oh! But don’t get jealous, darling!”[/color] she chided playfully. [color=LightSkyBlue]“I still think [i]you’re[/i] the greatest!”[/color] Wrapping her arms around one of the eldritch creature’s tentacles, she stood on her tiptoes and placed a kiss on the side of his head (causing poor Wilhelmina to make a sanity check in the process). [color=LightSkyBlue]“I guess we should probably get going now huh? Like I was saying earlier, you look a little tired. I’m sure my darling Xolys wouldn’t mind carrying…”[/color] The blonde beauty’s voice trailed off as a new figure stepped into their presence.

They struck quite the gallant image, looking like a shining knight from right out of a fairy tale, which, Olivia had to admit, they probably [i]were.[/i] The armored young woman also inquired about Captain Goodhope’s health, before turning to Olivia and introducing herself as Camelot. [color=LightSkyBlue]“It’s very nice to meet you, Miss Camelot!”[/color] the azure-clad maiden replied with an elegant curtsy, before taking the knight’s offered hand and giving it a vigorous shake. [color=LightSkyBlue]“And yes, I’m Magical Maiden Ethereal Rose, but you can just call me Olivia, if that’s too hard to remember. I’ve noticed that most Magical Girls seem to have rather elaborate titles, so it must be quite difficult to keep track of them all,”[/color] she continued. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Oh, the Grand Ministry?”[/color] she repeated after Camelot made her suggestion. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Now that I think about it, that probably [i]is[/i] a better place to have a conversation,”[/color] she conceded with a giggle. [color=LightSkyBlue]“And that sounds like a grand idea!”[/color] she added with an exuberant smile. [color=LightSkyBlue]“Would you like my darling Xolys to carry you as well?”[/color]
