Ethel Storm and Sora Kaze
Ethel fidgeted nervously when she found Rosalina peering into her eyes. She wasn't one who liked the spotlight nor searched it out, in fact she would actively go out of her way to avoid such a thing. Which was why Sora was good to have around; if Ethel gathered too much attention he would take it away. Whether it be through some flashy show off move or by simply removing the person(s) he certainly could gain others attention quite quickly and unlike Ethel thrived off of it.
Ethel didn't seem to take notice of the concern or disgust that Rosalina might've been showing. She was never good with reading people, let alone when she was trying to avoid eye contact with the woman. Ethel just needed to remain calm, that's what Mai and Sora told her if she found herself alone.
Sure she wasn't alone, but Rosalina was making Ethel nervous. Not by anything she said or did, rather by her own thoughts. Her heart was in her mouth momentarily when Rosalina mentioned a strong magical presence from Ethel however. That moment was also accompanied by Ethel's hand suddenly
'blurring' however it only lasted a second at most before Ethel regained control.
"Why? 'Cause Sora teaches Ethel. Many things Ethel didn't know before." Ethel was still a little nervous in response to Rosalina's unasked question. Though she had stated she wanted to know why Sora was associated with Ethel, however how Ethel phrased her response might make Rosalina worry even more.
Ethel bite back what she was going to add about Sora helping Ethel keep her magic in check, as she didn't want Rosalina asking too many questions about the nature of her magic. Ethel was a terrible liar and was afraid of what Rosalina might do with such information, though her worries were completely unfounded but Ethel didn't know that.
Ethel fell into stride behind Rosalina, though she struggled to keep pace with the taller woman. She didn't complain though, she simply had shorter legs and knew it.
"Mage...Ethel has never been called a mage before. Ethel's been called many a thing. 'Monster', 'freak', Ethel, 'abomination'. But not mage." Ethel commented softly as she touched the back of her left hand softly. She was wearing gloves so Rosalina wouldn't be able to see it, but there were two intricate sealing magic circles on both the back of Ethel's left hand and on Ethel's left palm.
They had been put on by Sora to help suppress the immense magical presence that was Ethel. It also helped as a medium to control her magic though, as she had yet to fully master it. In fact was probably nowhere near mastering it yet.
It was at this moment that a furry head popped up next to Ethel. It was the Chu she had received (bought) from Verrick the previous day. The Chu had been hidden in her hood the entire time since leaving the hotel and had just woken up from a nice little snooze.
It yawned widely and let out a soft 'Chu' before nuzzling softly against Ethel's face causing the younger mage to smile slightly. It was at this moment now that something seemed to tweak in Ethel's mind.
"....Sora ran cause of Chu." Ethel mumbled in realisation. It all made sense now. Chu was like the ultimate adorable fluffy crossbreed of a variety of cute fluffy animals, such as rabbits and cats.

And as such someone as petrified as cats as Sora was, it made perfect sense for him to have fleed from the adorable creature. He had done the same thing yesterday when Verrick had made the Chu as well, completely abandoning her with a strange man she had only just met. Even though Verrick was a pretty nice bloke....she hoped his training mission would go well.
"Actually I had other business to attend to squirt." Sora seemed to materialise out of thin air beside of them and had slipped his hand under Ethel's hood to do what he just loved to do; ruffle her soft milky blue hair.
Ethel on the other hand seemed quite content with the ruffling of her hair. Even frowning slightly when Sora stopped and turned his attention to Rosalina with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh? Rosalina Idwal? From the Magic Council? What business would you have with my disciple here? If I knew you were here I would've cleaned up first." If Rosalina paid attention to Sora she would notice that his usual attire was in somewhat of a disrepairs. It almost looked like he had walked straight out of a fight, his clothes were tattered and dirty, his right sleeve was missing and he was covered in scratches and dirt. Despite that he still had an air of supreme confidence and authority about him.
He wasn't a man to be trifled with.
"Although you're just the woman I wanted to talk to."@Roseletta@Zarkun"Umm ok...don't trip and die." Cody watched as Amaya and Cecilia made their way out of the stands. He wasn't going to lie, he wasn't sure why she had bothered coming along if she was just going to immediately leave. If she was that tired she would've been far better off just staying at the hotel and sleeping.
He was also unsure what she meant by don't kill anyone. Why would he do that? Maybe she had directed it towards Joshua?
Who knows. He wasn't too sure about letting her go back to the hotel by herself but decided against going with her for the simple matter of it would probably just drag her into more trouble than she had already had on her plate. As James said he seemed to be a magnet for trouble, so just staying put at the arena was probably the best for himself.
What kind of trouble could he possibly get into here after all? He was surrounded by his guildmates after all.
So instead he sat back and watched the final event unfold. Or at least what actually happened. The event was just begining to get interesting, besides the giant flying fortress of course, when the announcer stated that the games were to be postponed indefinitely. What the heck?
