Lily and Tsukiko was still there chatting by the time most others had left. Not that it was much of a surprise. Despite the literally thousands of people living in the Academy, they were one of the few couples. Or at least one of the few public ones. They always spent a lot of time together, and spending over an hour after they had eaten just to chat was not an uncommon occurrence.

As they talked, something caught Lily's eye. It wasn't one of the Mythics that sometimes walked around the Academy; they were relatively rare outside of the teachers. No, it was another student which caught her eye, and namely one she might very well call her rival. Sindri. A small smirk bloomed on her lips, her eyes following him as he made his way towards a table with a veritable mountain of food balanced on several different plates. Even with her own ravenous appetite and tendency to over-eat, she knew that there was no way she could eat as much as he did, and even despite how much he consumed... he still managed to stay so thin; something many of the girls in the Academy were jealous of.

She kept her eyes on him for several moments until he looked up, at which point she looked back to Tsuki, resuming the chat with her. It was something about a new sword technique she was practising. Being a Demon meant that Tsukiko was focused around speed and some physical strength, as well as some magic. What made Tsuki special, however, was that she--a Bakeneko--had very little magic to speak of. She was capable of splitting herself in two, one tail on each "copy." She had very little practical magic otherwise, and looked very much like most Titans in terms of how her magic worked. Just like them, it worked on her body itself, granting her increased speed and strength, as well as durability and endurance.

Thanks to this, she was one of the fastest Shifters in the Academy, surpassing just about everyone in that as well as raw strength. Even Lily could not keep up with her, despite priding herself on being amazingly quick, and that was not to mention just how physically strong the cat-girl was. Yes... she was a strange Demon Class Shifter, and it's also why she uses at least one sword for fighting as opposed to most Demons, darting around and delivering quick, decisive strikes.

Tsukiko continued talking about the new technique as she leaned back in her chair and stared up at the ceiling. Lily, however, glanced towards Sindri again, as she had done many times by now, and couldn't help but nearly gape at how quickly he had emptied his plates. Almost all of the were empty to the point where she suspected he had licked them clean of every tiny crump or drop of gravy.

Her eyes followed him as he stood up and made his way towards the doors, looking away only when he finally glanced at her again. She smiled as he walked past them, her eyes immediately locked onto the back of his head. The smile then became a grin as she lifted a hand to her lifted and blew across it as if blowing dust off of her palm. From her palm came not dust or powder, but golf-ball sized balls of blue fire, hovering in the air for a second before they moved forward, inching up on Sindri until they were dancing around his head, capturing a couple of the remaining students' attention, including Tsukiko's who fell silent and just watched Lily do her thing.

One, two, three, four--Nine such small orbs floated around him, dancing in and out of his vision, giving off only the tiniest hints of warmth and light.

The grin one her lips receded, replaced instead by an infuriating, challenging smile as she rested her head on her left arm, that in turn placed on the table for support. And then she just looked at him: Waiting, watching for the reaction she knew would come. Rise to the challenge, little one. I know you can't resist when a "Lying Vixen" is playing with you.

She neither registered nor heard the other woman approach, her attention solely on Sindri. Tsukiko, however, did, and turned to her and shushed her with a finger on her lips. "He's Sindri, and Lily's rival. Be quiet and watch." She let out a low, musical giggle. "This is about to get interesting."
