[b][u]Thaum: The Azure Sea[/b][/u]

Despite the friendly demeanor Dr. Dream exuded, Trixie maintained her distance from him every second they were together. She trusted the label "scientist" much less than any other "bad guy" - especially after crossing paths with the old man in Vandrell just months ago. Amy was well aware of this inherent dislike, but so long as she made no fusses about it, the cleric merely turned the blind eye.

Dr. Dream was a rather enthusiastic man, which Amy found more tiring than anything else, but it was doable. Especially since he so kindly paid to have them fed at one of the fanciest five-star restaurants the woman had ever seen - and of course Isaac was the damn cutest thing she had seen in a while aside from Kapi. Though her smile wiped away once a man named Atlas had greeted them. She rolled her eyes with a snarl as Atlas gave a playful wink.

Once inside the restaurant, Trixie took to gazing at the marine animals with awe, mashing and dragging her face along the glass walls similarly to her hero Superbro. Lucien called her over to observe a blob-like fish, and as Trixie ran over to see it, she nearly knocked the summoner off-kilter to grab a better view. "Whoooaaaaaa. What is that thing?" Amy in the meantime eyed the marine life from afar to chat with Moira instead.

Only when everyone was called to dine in together did Trixie pry her face away from the windows of oceanic wonder. The prankster found herself enthused with Xandra's and the doctor's brief explanation about the missing persons and the latter's offer for the Pride; her lips mouthed a piqued "ooh" as they spoke, as if they were just telling a scary story. Amy on the other hand found herself mildly uncomfortable with the situation of it all (a madman manipulating an emotion-consuming demon was nothing to take lightly) and consumed her food silently as the others commented.

In the midst of it all, a newcomer entered the building and half-greeted the folks gathered at the table before turning his attention to the pink blobfish and... shouting to himself? Not to mention the familiar trumpeting music (which caused Amy to redden immediately, though her marriage ring from Los Paraisos was long gone - retrieved and stored in one of Trixie's pouches after being thrown away). Considering the Pride and company, plus the servers and this newcomer, were the only people inside the building, Lute's frantic entrance was definitely startling the say the least.

[i]"Who's he talking to...?" Lisette whispered to Trixie next to her in a hushed voice.[/i]

Trixie tilted her head at this phenomenon. "I, huh, I dunno. Oh! Wait, I think he's talking to the fish. Hang on a second." While Atlas and Dr. Dream welcomed the man to their group, as this appeared to be the Lute, guy they were talking about, Trixie took to jumping atop her chair anyway. She hollered at the approaching man with hands cupped around her mouth, she jumped atop her chair and hollered at the man. "Hey! Hey Mister! What are you and the fishy talking about? Is he okay? Oh wait, is she a girl? Is she sad cuz she's gonna get eaten soon? ... ..."

Amy shook her head solemnly at Trixie's antics, before yanking her down from her seat and continuing to sip her soup in silence. It wasn't long before the doctor resumed his explanation of his offer, before detailing what else Thaum had to offer. She shrugged with the doctor's final remark and left any acceptance speeches fall on Estelle's shoulder.

Meanwhile Lucien had slid his blobfish meal to Lute. Trixie leaned over the table to catch a better look at the newcomer, her lips repursed into an "o" shape. "What does she say now?"
