[quote][color=f7941d]"Miss Maria- should I call you miss?- oh, nevermind- who is that...?"[/color][/quote]

Maria, who had witnessed Nessie effort and near-success, was now staring at Roma with intent as she walked around to position herself between Nessie and the new comer just like Valera did for everyone. [color=fff79a]"Miss Burns, dear, stand with the others please. Unless I’m very much mistaken, this would be the lady you or your colleagues have met before and the reason the [i]Crimson Comet[/i] brought us here."[/color]

She turned turned around and briefly smiled at Nessie, one hand on her shoulder; [color=fff79a]"I saw your efforts bear fruits, wonderfully done."[/color] and she nudged her student to go closer to the others [color=fff79a]"Call me as you wish, Miss Burns - though...calling me miss does make me feel quite younger."[/color] with this little attempt at a jest, Maria left Nessie with her peers and walked up to join Valeria between them and Roma. Nessie would have felt her touch to be...hotter than before. In fact, the air immediately surrounding Maria slowly began rising in temperature ever so slowly.

As she did so, she address Olivia's answer partly; [color=fff79a]"Miss Bell, your curiosity is admirable, but I fear it might be misplaced in this situation."[/color] Not having been there for their first encounters, Maria thought it more prudent to let Valeria fully answer Olivia's question. 

[color=fff79a]"Lady Bhakti, I presume."[/color] Maria said once everyone said their piece. [color=fff79a]"If unleashing your pets at our students is your way of presenting yourself, it is in poor tastes. We have not met yet. My name is [i]María de Borbón[/i], newly appointed Teacher and Guardian to these students of Marrywell Academy - whom lives you have threatened. Twice, I believe. If talk is what you are after, I strongly urge you to reconsider doing that again and to accept my colleague's proposition."[/color]
