The magierprinz gave Luna a smile as she discussed her interaction with the other girls. "What? Of course not, you are polite and caring towards others! They have no reason to be scared of you!" Swen found himself speaking quickly as the other girl made a ridiculous suggestion. Who in their right mind would be afraid of a Lightsword unless they were an evil doer?

"... Now um ... if you could lead the way Luna? To the clothes?" The noble still had no idea exactly where they were being sent off to.

The phoenix hear the headmistress call out after her, but she'd already left the room as she mulled over the words on the warmer side for a few seconds.

Was it really necessary for the teacher to make her suffer?
On the other hand, she wanted answers, didn't she? And to be truthful, she'd been through worse, right?

After about a minute, the door to the cold side would open again with the crimson haired girl entering once more with a large towel wrapped around her torso as she sat down at the edge of the pool, shooting the headmistress a look that said I came back before crossing her arms and scowling at some of the nearby tiles. Livia would probably be able to feel a slight sense of betrayal and frustration run through the bond they shared.

Eventually she spoke though, still looking away. "... I just wanted ... a warm towel ..." It wasn't a lie exactly - the girl didn't feel like sitting naked on a pool side while Livia and others could see her - she had learnt a sense of modesty since arriving at the academy. But she had needed a moment to herself after that entire experience.

The magierprinz looked slightly relieved as it seemed Luna wouldn't mind assisting him. Granted, he didn't need expert advise her, just some basic rules for buying clothes since gaining some ... different assets.

Although he had no idea where the ladies shopped in this area. "Do you have any err... places you recommend?" This entire situation felt awkward, which made it somehow easier to deal with as a whole.

The phoenix frowned slightly, but once again steadied herself and forced herself to approach the water's edge despite whatever was screaming and trying to hold her back. The last time she had spent her time looking around and finding the right thing to focus on, but after doing it once she figured this time she was simply going to try and grab whatever the headmistress was talking about as quickly as possible.

For the first time since arriving at the academy Fia gave the headmistress something akin to a look of hatred as she took the plunge into the depths of her soul. This time, she was prepared for whatever pain and torture awaited her and grabbed what lied beneath rapidly as she returned to consciousness and shoved her hands out in front of her.

A torrent of fire shot out from her hands, blasting whatever lied in front of her. She hadn't had time to check for the headmistress when she decided to release the energy, although Fia was certain she was going to be alright.

The top layer of water quickly evaporated, and a small localized area around the local area of the pool found itself move from 'room temperature' to 'decently warm'. The crimson haired girl stopped once she felt she couldn't grab anymore strength, arms tingling with both a sensation of power and feeling like she'd done a small workout.

Almost instantly the screaming inside of her subsided slightly, or rather she found it a little easier to stand against.

A few seconds passed as the girl eventually rose to her feet, and after tossing the headmistress a quick look would walk to the door and enter the warm side of the bathhouse unless some force prevented her from doing so.

Botanist And Bards

The native had warmed herself due to the combination of the morning sun and the rock, and rubbed her eyes as she lazily walked back into the ...

... how? The place had been much smaller, hadn't it been? There were methods of expanding caves of course, but none of them involved mixing strange herbs together the night beforehand. Usually the effort involved the entire group working together for many hours, although the results were usually more visually pleasing than what she saw.

Still though, she was impressed. With the supplies she brought, it seemed that Charlotte would be able to get things together herself in as little time as possible. "Conas a fuair tú é sin? Tá sé go hiontach!" The other woman would find herself being petted for a second or two by the shorter woman as the black haired woman was hugged with the other arm.

Taking out her flute, the native played a few cheerful notes on it before gesturing to her gifts, pulling out a piece of fruit for each of them. Demonstrating how to peel and eat it, the orange haired woman found herself enjoying a small breakfast.

The magierprinz nodded as Lady Lightsword lectured her on treating her like she would any other person. Apparently this Selvinia character was an incredible liar of sorts since the woman didn't seem to recognize her at all. Taking in a deep breath, Swen decided to collect himself. If there was one person who would be able to help out with this change, it was the knightess in front of him. She'd likely spend all day with a new person to make them feel comfortable around campus.

"Thank you Luna, you are a very generous person." A smile that was both some combination of forced and genuine crossed the face of the girl in front of Luna. There would be a few things that needed to be done at this point, and Swen was almost certain this change would take some degree of time to undo.

He needed a new wardrobe. And to at least see his appearance around here. "I have some ... unique circumstances surrounding my arrival here. Could you be my friend and help me with shopping, Lady Lightsword?" Selvina's shoulders shifted slightly in genuine nervousness since he ... she hoped there wouldn't be any questions.

The crimson haired girl listened to the headmistress' lecture. The other woman spoke as if someone else was controlling her somehow, and that only confused Fia more. She'd get some answers from Livia at the end of the semester, wouldn't she? The wait until then was simply agonizing though, and the girl wished it would come up sooner.

Though the moment the other woman summoned the fire the Phoenix seemed completely captivated by it, taking a few steps forwards as she eyed it with a degree of curiosity. Something was strange about it ... but a sense of warmth filled her. Livia's familiar found herself paying intense attention to the woman as the fire was mentioned, along with it's powers.

As the headmistress finished speaking though, the fourteen year old simply looked confused. Pyromancy? If she had such a power, why was she so easily contained in the tower for all those years? It was rather apparent to her by now that familiars didn't use magic - it was quite obvious to the girl. But then what did that make her, the phoenix?

The girl tried to take a step forward, but the water told her to stay back. Frowning slightly in frustration, she tried to take another step forward, and then forced herself to take another ... and another ...

By the time she reached the edge of the pool and sat down a couple feet from the edge her face was covered in tears and the girl had been reduced to little more than a pile of tears as something yelled loudly in the back of her heart to run away from this torture.

Feel her soul? How did one do that? Fia did her best to look inside of herself, closing her eyes even as tears ran between the lids, trying to focus ...

... for a second or two she was tied to a rack, skin being cut apart by knives, cold water pouring onto her body as she tried to resist this pain somehow ...

The next time the girl gained consciousness, she found herself aware that she had backed up several feet and was sweating profusely. Now she was certain why she was scared of the water. It was similar in a way to how she'd felt compelled to speak to Sorcha, but far more overt. And terrifying.

"... Livia ... who was ... that ...?" Fia's voice seemed to quiver slightly as she spoke, although it was obvious she was trying to be coherent. "... what ... who am I ...?" For now, the crimson haired girl seemed content to wait several feet away from the water's edge until she had calmed down a bit.

Botanist And Bards

The orange haired woman couldn't resist letting out a yawn as she was rudely shaken awake, and despite trying to go back to bed for a few seconds after the other woman was done found herself unable to do so. Rising up and stretching, a strange and warm rock was pressed into her hands which she pulled against her chest for warmth. It was probably one of the strange supplies that Charlotte had brought with her along with the glass vials and such.

Leaving the cave while rubbing her eyes, the native was curious about what had called for them to wake up so early in the morning. Perhaps these other people's preferred to eat alone, and were somehow solitary? It was rather obvious the black haired woman and her had some differences, but how far did they go?

Sitting herself down in a comfortable looking patch of grass outside the cave, the native sighed as she leaned against a comfortable looking rock and closed her eyes in attempt to fall asleep once more.

Botanist And Bards

The native only gave off a slight frown as the other woman pushed her away. It'd be cold in the night, and the warmth of a friend was always appreciated, wasn't it? But Cait didn't let it get to her too deeply as eventually she simply turned over and faced away from the other woman, using her hands as a sort of pillow to help make herself more comfortable.

Closing her eyes to the world, the orange haired girl soon found herself breathing deeper and slower breaths as she drifted off to the realm of sleep, wondering what would happen in the morning.

When Charlotte woke up, she would find the native still asleep on the blankets shivering slightly as if she was a little bit cold.

Swen tried to relax as the noblewoman was obviously trying to calm him down. Of course, the magierprinz would need to explain something being the matter. "I um ... my lady, it's just that the house of Lightsword is extremely prestigious and to meet the daughter of the lord himself by bumping into her is horrendously embarrassing!"

Hopefully that worked. In an attempt to make it look more convincing, the man looked down to his feet and clutched the book harder against her chest.

Fia looked to her feet as the headmistress seemed irritated with her for suffering a panic attack. Looking up as the other woman pointed to a nearby spot however, the crimson haired girl's eyes flickered between the cold, freezing, painful water and Livia, the woman who had been caring for her.

She didn't want to get anywhere near that pool, but she also didn't want to displease the headmistress. Her eyes continued looking back and forth between the two as she debated what amounted to a single question: what was she more afraid of?

The phoenix remained standing where she was, shaking her head and giving the headmistress an obviously nervous look of uncertainty before her eyes lowered to the ground.

And why was she even afraid of the water? The chair had it's reasons: it's where she was sometimes tied down and beaten. Chains and such were similar, and men fell into the same category as well. But water beneath room temperature had never done anything to her. It was as if something inside of her urged her to avoid that pool at all costs. Without an answer, the crimson haired girl remained silent while she waited for the headmistress' response.

If Livia was paying attention, she would realize something was off about Fia's presence in their bond - similar to when Sorcha had arrived in the office.

Summoners of Babel

@cloudystar Vilivyn would probably have some bedding for herself, a potion from her mom, and a small journal for keeping things.

Botanist And Bards

The native frowned as the woman neither seemed interested in eating or in taking a bath as she laid down on the impromptu, leaving Cait to pout a little bit. Had her offerings of aid somehow been insufficient, or was the other woman just tired?

It was most likely just the second one, considering that she simply decided to lay down. The orange haired girl's hair glowed slightly in the night as she realized her own exhaustion, lowering herself into the makeshift bed and pulling herself close to the other woman for warmth as she closed her eyes in preparation of going to sleep.

The magierprinz breathed a slight sigh in relief as the woman in front of him reintroduced herself formally and didn't seem to recognize the connection to his former body. At least he wouldn't end up embarrassing his family name or anything.

Of course, telling the woman in front of him no would only make her suspicious about what had occurred, and she would soon find herself asking various questions. Swen's eyes shifted around nervously as he though up what he should reply with. When they finally spoke the voice would come out carrying with the same emotion, as if they were really embarrassed about what happened. "I-I'm Selvinia."

Well, that's what this cover was he guessed. "Sorry about running into you my lady. The fault is with me." Fingering the book within their hands, the magierprinz found themselves unable to look Luna in the eyes as their cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

The kitten heard someone call to her after several minutes of letting her emotions out, body shaking as she tried to get a handle on herself. Sitting up, she still looked at the ground with lowered ears and such. This was the doll summoning teacher that had hauled her lady off the previous day, wasn't she? And now she was just offering her a place to stay, despite their being plenty other abandoned familiars on the streets?

It wouldn't be a surprise if the woman was involved with Livia in some way. Of course the headmistress had some sort of plan. Or was this done in part by her lady in an attempt to pawn her off on someone else?

Standing up, the neko brushed some of the dirt off her dress and simply nodded in turn, taking a step towards the taller woman with her face still down and fists slightly balled up. This day had involved a lot of people making decisions for her while pretending she had some sort of say in them, and it was more than a little irritating. She had half the mind simply to punch this teacher in the face.

But eventually Maoin found herself obeying the commanding voice more honestly, letting out a breath that seemed to have been pent up inside her. The woman's words hadn't been a pointed suggestion, a hint, or anything else. They were an order that was expected to be obeyed, and therefore it was easier to do so. A small voice eventually delivered a verbal confirmation to the teacher's suggestion. "Yes Ma'am."

Fia's eyes eventually fluttered open as she looked around the room. The crimson haired girl took a quick collection of everything - she was naked, on the floor, and suddenly the cool water seemed to be terrifying as her eyes drifted over it. Hadn't she been trying to get in it next to the headmistress? How did she end up in the corner?

It was rather obvious the Phoenix was confused as she looked around, although as the cool air on this side chilled her slightly there was a small shiver that went up her spine. "Can ... we go to ... warm side?" The phoenix pleaded with the headmistress. It was rather apparent that she was confused and uncomfortable here, and wanted out.

But even if she had to stay here, she wasn't getting in that water for any reason.
