When the Oja freed himself, Tomi smiled then laughed as she propped herself back up, raising both hands at shoulder height and playfully answered [color=fff79a][u][b]Kerry[/b][/u][/color] as well as [u][b]Valeryia [/b][/u]who had just joined in;

[color=fff200]"Alright, alright. It was only a tease, after all - as if I would mate with this poor, terrified human. What has the world come to when even other Mamonos can't recognize a bit of jest."[/color] Tomi added, tragically bringing a hand to her cheek in a sarcastic manner.

[quote][b]"The hornet has a point. Trying what you did on an island native isn't going to help."[/b][/quote]

[color=fff200]"I'm sure you'd rather I had tried it on you."[/color] she added, whipping the air with her tail in the Hornet's direction.

If the [u][b]Rabbit Girl[/b][/u] believed Tomi didn't see her smirk, she would be mistaken. But she was already tired of all these interactions and decided to cut the legged meal some slack. Despite [u][b]Lunetea[/b][/u] best effort to seem indifferent, Tomi knew that with that magical clothing of hers, both her and the Dragon were on a similar personal mission of finding a worthy partner.

Tomi was famished by now, having been awoken from her earlier nap. There was no way she would fly off to hunt her own meal and since the man was not an option she thought about that Shoggoth from earlier. She [i]was[/i] talking about cakes awfully often, maybe now was the time to inquire about them. But her train of thoughts were cut short when Shizuka arrived. Tomi smiled and attempted to slip away when he addressed the others, but was quickly stopped.

[color=0072bc][quote] ”As for the two of you, perhaps instead of engaging in senseless banter, you could stand to read the room a little more. Tomi, don’t think I forgot how you flew off and ignored orders. You certainly took out your fair share of soldiers and aided your allies, but such recklessness can have dire consequences on the battlefield. [/quote][/color]

[color=fff200]"Oh come on - no one was hurt, right? Well, apart from Varjans... and as far as this human go; We are -"[/color] she said, but quickly whispered to herself [color=fff200]"...or at least I am... - Mamonos!"[/color] she sheepishly walked towards him with pitiful eyes.

[color=fff200]"Would you rather I go against my very own nature, Shizuka-sama? Would you rather I [i]waste away[/i]?"[/color]

...To which Shizuka only stared with very, very apparent judgement at Tomi before turning to the Owl and Hornet and addressing them. Defeated, Tomi looked down and sighed.

[color=fff200]"Maybe I should have stayed in my lair... I wonder how my treasure's doing?"[/color] she said to herself while walking towards Nyla's tent. 

A few seconds later, a sad looking and defeated Tomi would be entering the Shoggoth's tent. [color=fff200]"Nylaaaa..."[/color] she lamented [color=fff200]"Shizuka went at it again, can you believe -"[/color] but there was no one here. Indeed, for in Tomi's flustered state she missed the Shoggoth joining the group back outside. Curious, the dragon walked in slowly at first, but curiously looking around. There were plenty of clothing, mostly of the Maid variety. There was also a lot of books, one of which caught her eye; a book on relationships between Humans and Mamonos - what a find !
Not only that, be Tomi also seemed to spot one of the infamous pastries on a nearby table. Hungry, and thinking [i]'What the hell, how bad can it be'[/i] she sat down and snacked on the Cake while reading the book. Her dragon superiority complex seemed to give her no qualms about 'renting' someone else's space to the extent where she also probably planned on resuming her nap right here after the snack would be done.
