Legacy of Harena

"Very well, dear sister." Katherine said with a slight bow. "See you in a little bit then Nynette. You are looking beautiful as always." The girl teased. She was always ready to flirt with a pretty girl and all. She wondered why she was like this once, but well, she gave up wondering why a while back. She just loved to tease people, but she never really felt like going beyond that with anyone one. Maybe a kiss on the cheek, but that wasn't too odd. Overall at least. "Alright you two, let me lead you through the place."

"So, that Livia had her prepare tea? Perhaps she is not quite so bad as I though." Himeko said as she looked somewhat surprised. In the culture of Tengu, it was only proper to make tea for guests so this resounded inside Himeko a bit.

"She's a bit of a grump most of the time, but she's not that bad really. She just likes to act like she doesn't care. Well, I think that at least. Can't see in her head. Truthfully, I think she gets a little jealous when I dote on Marise too much. I can't really tell if it's because she wants me to dote on her, or she wants to dote on Marise..." She said, realizing she might have said a bit too much. Well, whatever, it didn't really matter much in the end. As she showed the girls through to Marise's room, she noticed one of the maids. "Good afternoon, Lily. Lovely to see you today." The girl said as they passed. The maid smiled and bowed.

"Good evening, Miss Katherine." The woman that looked to be in her mid-to-late twenties said. Katherine liked to think she was in good with the help. Sometimes when she wanted to practice her motor skills with her dolls, she'd help them with their tasks... Specifically, the ones where there were tighter areas to clean or maneuver.

When they passed, the woman went back to her work. Soon, they arrived at Marise's room. Katherine opened the door and entered. "Welcome to the room of my elder sister, Marise. 'Please make yourself at home.' At least, I'm sure that's what she would say."

Himeko looked over the two "siblings" with a bit of skepticism. "Yes, Himeko. Perhaps we can help you. It's hard to find better friends in this town as it is. I'm happy as long as you stay entertaining." The Puppeteer girl said, giving a little giggle. "It's not all the time, but what I'm saying is the truth after all. For now."

Himeko gave her an odd look, wondering what the deal was with her. "Is that so? Perhaps we should find solace in your aid them." There was no need in introducing herself now was there? They knew her name. "Very well then. Charlotte, if it's fine for you, then it's fine for me." She mentioned, looking to her partner.

Legacy of Harena

Himeko relaxed a bit, removing her hand from her katana. There was no reason to worry not. Probably at least. It wouldn't be good to drop her guard until out of the city. Still, she hated acting so friendly with these humans that have yet to prove themselves. She looked to the Fiores then. Making a studied gaze at all three.

Katherine of course, noticed quickly. "Oh my, are you trying to figure which of us you'd like to take first?" She teased. She was most likely talking about in a... 'Romantic way' if one could call it that. "You sly girl, you." She teased.

Himeko was tired of this family sans the eldest. Did they have to be this annoying? "Hardly." She replied, looking to Marise. "Thank you for your assistance Miss Fiore and... Miss Fiore?" She asked, looking toward Katherine, unsure. She hardly said a word to Livia, though she did give her a glance. She hadn't done anything other than what she said earlier. Paying their meal should have sufficed enough for that.

Katherine nodded, "Just Katherine is fine. I'm a Fiore in name alone to be honest." She said bluntly. "Now then, how to make you all pay for our help..." She added, giving a sly look over to Marise.

Legacy of Harena

Himeko had all but readied her hand on her katana. It'd be easy since the focus was on Charlotte now. If the guards needed to get in her way, there was no need for them... That is, until those girls from earlier showed up. The eldest among them spoke, and on their behalf as well. Himeko couldn't help but give a pondering look at the girl. Why had she shown? Not that it mattered much now. What was her name again? "Ahh! Miss Fiore... s. Oh, how gracious you all are to make an appearance." Himeko said, faking as well as she always did. "They seem to have misunderstood Charlotte's intent." The Tengu said, happily making a performance of it.

Katherine herself quite enjoyed theatrics. She'd been watch the whole time of course. Dolls could hide in places humans most certainly could not. She approached Charlotte looking happy. "I apologize if those samples I asked for caused you any trouble." It couldn't hurt to bring the theatrics up a bit could it? "I was also interested in some of the research you had." She said, turning back to the guard. "Can the poor girl have her cloak back?" Reaching out her hand to the guard as if to take if off his hands. Katherine was known to dabble in just about everything, so hopefully, if the guard knew anything about her he'd make the 'correct' assumption.

"What? You mean glasses?" Luna asked. Those were the things that doctors wore. A specialized glass that was suppose to make one see better though Luna had to disagree on a first-hand experience. It was fairly recent as far as Luna knew. "Your eyes are probably pretty good... We might be able to get the frame for you if you wanted. You should have fine eyesight as it is." Luna led Avaline around a bit until they found a metalworker that had made them before... In fact, there were frames on sale. "That's what you wanted?"

Katherine Lindall

"Yes, yes! Come with me. Let us find something delicious." Katherine said as she looked around for a good restaurant. Soon, she found one she liked. It had a nice atmosphere around it and she had ate there a couple times by herself. "Yes, here we are! There should be something you like here." She led Chione in and sat at a table. It wasn't a fancy place by any means, but she was quite sure the quality of the food was good.

Soon enough, a waitress came over. She was a familiar it seemed, as she had a pair of wolf ears or something of the sort. The big fluffy paw feet she had didn't help hide that fact. "Hello there!" She said, setting a couple of glasses with water on the table. "You two are pretty. Oh! Uhh, what can I get for ya? We can get most anything you want."

Katherine just tilted her head. "Do you have a stew. Deer or beef?" The waitress familiar nodded happily and looked to Chione, awaiting her order.

Kozue Komichi

"No plan? Sounds..." Well, Celine had already left so her words were in vain anyway. She followed soon after the Undine and heard what the girl said about Celine wanting to profess love to her or something. She didn't think the Undine could love anything other than herself at this point. Then she replied to what the Undine said about Marie being a 'Hallow Person.' "Yes, well, hallow shells like to mask a person's true personality doesn't it?" Kozue said, crossing her arms.

Legacy of Harena

Katherine smiled, it was nice seeing Livia lose an arguement of sorts like that. She finished her food as well and stood, following Marise. Their big sister was resourceful and didn't lack in brains like one might think considering she was quite the aesthetic piece of art. "What did you say to them, that they paid for our meal? Did extort or blackmail them? Oh dear, our Livia is such a brute."

"Of course, I am a master of the blade. No thief is a match for my hands." Himeko stated, resting her hand on her katana again. So they understood her greatness! Of course! Perhaps these guards were not so bad, for humans. Still, they wanted to see Charlotte's cloak. What could she even hide in there? Truth be told, she never cared enough for her outfit to take a look at it. Now she just looked to Charlotte. Did the girl have something hidden in there? Her face kind of said it really. To Himeko at least. She still had the same grumpy face really.

Legacy of Harena

Stick together? That was obviously an option, but Himeko didn't want to sit around in a library. More specifically, one where she couldn't read anything anyway. Not that they had the chance to split up as they were hailed by wandering guards almost immediately as they left the restaurant. They weren't unfriendly sounding... For now at least. At first her hand rested on the hilt of her katana, though she quickly removed it. They were looking for contraband? Well, Himeko was happy enough that she had food in her stomach now.

"Oh my, apologies for looking out of place. I am a warrior come from far west. A nice region, fairly temperate though mountainous. As for contraband, I believe you're searching the wrong exotically dressed woman. Aside my katana..." She said, unsheathing it about halfway, enough to catch the glare of the sun to reveal the odd design in the metalwork. After the guards had a nice look at it, she returned it. "...and a few coins and gems I carry." She retrieved her purse and showed the few gems and coins off to the guards. "I cannot imagine such things being contraband in places aside those that are run by dictators of which I'm to understand your fair city is not."

She wasn't quite sure whether she was saying anything good. Hopefully she was. This was her "kind human act" that she was oh-so proud of. In fact, she acted friendlier with these guards than Charlotte seemed to! In fact, Charlotte didn't seem all too happy with this.

---

"And so it seems they are. Ten guards or so." Katherine mentioned, looking to Livia. Her dolls had many uses. They could act as eyes and ears, though not mouths. "I have half a mind to help them, if nothing more than to spite you and your fun, Livia darling." Katherine teased. She then turned to Marise, "What do you say, Marise. Perhaps you could talk to them still, they might even be happy to do so if we save them from the long arm of the law."

Legacy of Harena

"I think I would provide little help there. Perhaps I can find something else to do during that time. Hmm, well... I did need to sell off these gems anyway." Himeko said, reaching to her bag and touching the precious gems. Not like she cared much for fashion anyhow. She thought about leaving but remembered something. Her footwear was much too tall. It was a sign of skill back home, nothing these humans would appreciate. Hell, their doors didn't accommodate them. "Let me shorten these quickly. They are worthless here." She took them off and carried them. She'll go to some corner and do it. Somewhere out of the way. It was probably a good idea. Her weapon would be more than sharp enough to give a clean cut to the thin wood.

---

"Yes, yes. Let us enjoy this. I'd hate for this food to go to waste after all." Katherine said, continuing eating. She was hardly a match for Marise was she? What was the say? "The one that falls in love loses?" Something like that. Well, realistically Katherine couldn't say it was love or anything. After all, she fawned over most pretty women after all. "Still though, that girl with the weapon an the exotic clothes was definitely something else. The other one looked like someone that walked right out of an academy or something."

Luna was just glad that Avaline was overjoyed. This girl was easy to make happy, but it felt good... Like pampering a child or something of the like. Well, soon (or maybe not really) Avaline was done with her rampage and Luna paid after meticulously counting all the sweets her dragon ate. Once outside, Luna looked to the Wyrm and smiled. Is there anything else you want to look at around here? She asked. She rather hoped Avaline would be a little more specific this time around.

Eith the Shellagh

"I'll go tomorrow then." Eith said, nodding a couple of times. She was glad that this would be over with soon and hopefully, become the person she use to be, rather than this shell of a creature she was. Maybe then, she could live up to Khira's expectations. Speaking of, the girl wrapped both her and Miren in a hug. Then her head went to something Khira said earlier... "Requiring" right? "Khira. I know something I require now." She said, nodding again. "A nap. With the family." She sounded insistant on that.

Katherine Lindall

Katherine's first stop was a fabric shop in the general goods part of town. She got... All sorts of fabric, sent home by doll express. One might think she did this sort of thing for a living, but no. Not quite. She pointed out a lot of the more commonly visited stores around and some of the not so commonly visited ones. After that, they passed by a couple of restaurants and Katherine felt hungry just looking at the signs that had fish or a nice juicy piece of beef.

Curious, she turned to Clione. [color=green]"Are you hungry?"[/green] She asked, thinking to use this as a chance to skim some information.

Kozue Komichi

Ruin the illusion they have of her and put her in her place? That didn't sound horrible. Kozue stood and considered the option for a minute. Meanwhile, the doll Celine was messing with shook a fist at her and ran off quickly into some nearby bushes. Kozue then sighed. [color=tan]"Fine, what do you have plan? I'd rather not walk into this unknowing what you have planned.

Legacy of Harena

"I thought you were going to help them and then take them for all they're worth. Cause, you know, you're a demon and all." Katherine said after finishing a bite of her stew. "One of them looked extremely tired and just wanted to eat and the other was a bit on the grumpy side. I'm not surprised they wanted you gone when you accost them immediately as 'non-humans' and all." Katherine added. She just wiggled her toes at her sister's touchings. She wasn't exactly ticklish or anything but it still felt weird to have someone handle your feet like that.

Himeko almost begrudgingly took a bite of her... Bowl of greens and ... Whatever this meat was. Though, at the least, it turned out to be decent for something humans prepared. She had definitely had worse so far. She got through the most of it by time Charlotte stood and asked if she were done. "Was that good? I don't know." She reached into her bag, searching for something until she pulled out a gold coin. Not too intricate, but well worth their meal and another. "Use this to pay, and have them use this to pay for those girls table. Let's not irritate the locals."
