Selvina frowned but nodded as the black fox complained about being pitied. She ... supposed that made sense. She had likely lived like this for a very long time and had adjusted to living this way. Her eyes drifted nervously down to the damaged neck again, but she forced herself to not comment or offer her consolations.

She was distracted soon enough however as the fox suddenly transformed into a massive form easily several times her own size. For a couple moments she was afraid, but with a sigh she looked at the black fox and her chain before giving her a smile. "... I suppose I don't need to be too worried about you in direct combat then, do I?"

The mage gave the large fox a little rub on her chin just to irritate her for the most part. "Could you please transform back to something smaller though? It's a little easier to converse with you that way. And besides, I don't want others to know your true form ... it's better that we leave it up our sleeve for now."

Fia let out a sigh of relief as the hydra changed the conversation and seemed a little confused ...

The beast HAD to know what she was doing, didn't she? Could anyone be that innocent? For a couple of moments she looked at Ritsa speculatively although as a fish was suddenly placed into her hands she was filled with her own doubts about the girl in front of her.

The fish of course was still alive. "... ummm ... I need it .... cooked ..." She surely wasn't going to eat some raw fish nearby and she wasn't confident enough in her own pyromancy to cook the thing reliably.

Meowka watched on as her new owner talked, inviting her to come down and learn how to make clothes. Truthfully she wasn't interested. Cat naps were a far better use of her time than clothes making!

The puppeteer would likely be stunned slightly however as her lap suddenly had a humanoid cat land in it with minimal force. "I'll keep you company." The girl's tail swished over Mistress Katherine's legs as the prowler of the night curled up and closed her eyes. Goodness, human laps were always so warm. This was why they existed, wasn't it?

Her ears twitched slightly as she slowed her breathing, preparing herself to take a nice long cat nap until food arrived.

Selvina's face blushed as she looked over the fox stripping, but she remained silent. Normally she would have admired the figure, but instead she found herself resisting the urge to vomit as she looked over this horrid, painful, veiny mess that looked like a combination of some sort of curse, disease, and torture. She tried to maintain a steady face as the girl finished stripping but her stomach felt uneasy by the time it was apparent she was supposed to respond.

"Errrrr ..." It was obvious that she was uneasy as she tried to think of an appropriate response. "Um ... err ... nice figure, there. Exactly ..." As her eyes drifted over the black area on her neck again though it seemed even her attempt to tease the fox had failed. For a couple of seconds she closed her eyes and gradually the uneasiness left.

Anger filled her blood. Not at Sly, but whoever had done this to her. Was this part of that trauma she had felt previously? Why had her previous master abused her so badly - she swore that - "... who DID this ...?" Of course, the fox couldn't answer that question. She continued sternly, more aggressiveness in her voice than intended. "Nevermind. You can't tell me." However the mage suddenly felt their protective instincts run over them as she pointed to the various other spots as well and spoke demandingly. "Do those hurt as well? I'd like to take to you a doctor - they have some of the best in the world here."

She reached up and gave the fox a quick rub through her ears in what was likely going to be a failed attempt to comfort her. She still tried anyways. "I'm sorry. I don't like to see my familiar ... scarred like this." Calmer, Selvina. The mage ran her hand through Sly's ears again and let out a small sigh and gave a weak smile towards her familiar. "I'll do what I can to help ... but I'm not sure it is within my power to do so."

Maoin had been nervous for the majority of this duel - the kitten had been concerned that either Lady Lightsword or her mistress would hurt eachother. She respected both of them and didn't want to see either of them get hurt at all - although their duel was a reminder about how far beyond a silly cat they were. Their skill was impeccable.

The moment the tackle happened though Maoin's eyes widened and worry ran through her body for half a second. She stood up from her spot to stop -

Why was her mistress looking at Lady Luna like she wanted to eat her up?

OH. OH. A massive blush ran across the cat's face as she noticed Lady Sorcha planted one on Lady Lightsword's lips. The cat gulped slightly from the sheer embarrassment of being there and silently took a few steps away, her kitten ears picking up on Lady Sorcha's 'threats' and her obviously lust induced heavy breathing and a the mating growl of a cat in the heat.

As soon as she away from hearing them (several hundred meters) the kitten sat herself against a tree and shoved her face into her hands. How could the dragon had made it more obvious? Cuddling Lady Luna, being extremely close to her ... the dragon even went so far as to kick her out the first day they came back so they'd have the room for themselves!

Sure her mistress would obey her little human's orders, but likely only in bed. Maoin started thinking about how to make things more comfortable for them. She should probably find a nice cabinet to throw a comfortable crate on top of, maybe even start announcing that she needed to prowl the nearby streets at night ... she knew she couldn't let Lady Sorcha's kindness prevent her from playing with whoever she wanted to.

Unless of course she was also a plaything ... Maoin's face blushed more. Were dragons monogamous? It seemed unlikely? How would she go about asking that? The dragon had called her 'cute' several times after all ... did it mean more? Either way, it would probably be best to stay here for now and wait for them to start looking for her before popping out and give them a little privacy.

Fia's eyes widened a bit as she was hugged, the startled girl loosing her feet for a moment before regaining them. Well, she supposed she couldn't blame Ritsa for hugging her back and ... a large blush spread across her cheeks as she felt the hydra nuzzling against her. Asking her to the festival ... being physically interested ... these were the signs of love according to the books Livia had her read, weren't they?

As the Phoenix decided to pull their head back from the intense nuzzling briefly it would be apparent to the hydra that the girl's skin seemed to match the color of her hair. "... Ritsa ... um ..." Their foreheads were practically pressed together ... was this ... didn't lovers ... also have fun?

She wasn't sure how she felt about Ritsa, but her heart was practically pounding out of her chest. "... do ... do you ... LIKE ... like me ..." It was a dumb question - of course the girl did - but she wanted to hear it first. Her eyes seemed to dart everywhere but at the girl a few inches away from her face and it was obvious she was nervous ... but not in a bad way.

Meowka simply looked at her mistress as she was lectured, glancing towards the dolls she had dropped and giving a look that seemed about an eighth apologetic. Soon enough the girl went across the room and jumped up on top of the wardrobe again and situated her little spot again as she looked over the room once more. "Almost finished?" The cat watched her owner work, wondering when her clothes would be finished and not really understanding how long the entire process took.

Selvina gave Sly a slight frown - of worry more than anything else - but nodded. She was obviously curious about what it was, but was willing to go along with the fox's plan. "I'm not sure if the lake is the brightest idea for that - a lot of people visit it during the day. Somewhere out in the forest would be better ... or maybe in a study room within the library?" The mage paused for a moment. "Those things are huge and people rarely use them except around finals - no one's going to even be in the area for the festival week."

She decided to ignore the more insulting comments and the threatening statements. "But I'll use your judgement to decide - I'm not sure how large we are talking. Lead the way."

Fia's eyes reached the full extent of their wideness as she watched the hydra swallow the entire fish. She knew some familiars carried over characteristics of their mythic counterparts but ... how was the girl's neck wide enough? How had she just managed to grab one of the slimy things on her first try? Either way it had been an impressive display of skill that she couldn't replicate. "... you ... you win ..."

It was another reminder about how getting in a fight with this girl was a bad decision. But as she glanced around she gave Ritsa a grin before jumping at her for a tackle, stick dropping uselessly to the ground. "... grabbed fish ...!" Livia would likely be surprised by this action if she was watching, but it was clear based on the smirk crossing the girl's face that she was having a good time.

"H-hey!" Meowka glared at the angry doll, hugging the bag closer to herself and letting the dolls guide her through completing the shopping trip, carrying various items if they seemed to insist on it with an irritated puff and letting them show her how to pay for the food through one very confused cashier. If Katherine was paying attention she would realize Meowka's number system was limited to 'one' 'few' 'several' 'many' 'many manies!' and seemed to have little comprehension of how cash values worked except based on how pretty the metal was. After a long and painful process the Dollmaster would eventually hear the door opening as she entered wordlessly and handed the groceries she had to carry to the dolls.

Aside from the dried fish of course - that went on top of her new favored cabinet for safekeeping. Now that the most important matters had been taken care of ... what was Mistress Katherine doing?

Selvina watched with a little curiosity as the fox in front of her started to remove the only clothes she was wearing. Somehow, the mage didn't think the primary problem was related to this as Sly started out a long rant about her lifestyle with the angry extra voice interjecting once as she let forth a long string of insults sprinkled with some actual conversation among them. Pervert, annoying, commanding, frustrating, ... there we go, something about trust. That was the important part ... right? And a few threats.

From an academic standpoint, the fox needed a lesson in professionalism. From a personal standpoint Selvina had to stop herself from letting go her own long string of insults and accusations before finally getting to what she wanted to say. Of course the fox's threat was meaningless - if she had wanted to teleport back to the temple or her father's estate or any number of mages looking for a powerful familiar to hand her off to then her complaints would be over. Plenty of them would be willing to put the fox into her place, wouldn't they? Or simply lock her up again.

But that hadn't been the reason Selvina had rescued her. She wanted to prove to herself that she could take care of Sly and make her a better person without simply choosing to ignore the problem. Perhaps it was hard to trust the fox - especially when she was happy to be so insulting. In truth though, she hadn't done anything to really hurt her and she sensed through the bond that the black fox had truly been being honest when she wait this was simply a demonstration.

She also didn't want for Sly, her first familiar, to be a failure.

"Look, don't take this out on the uniform - it could be a useful disguise for you when you shapeshift at least." It didn't seem the noble really cared that much though since the cloth could largely be refunded and she had plenty of money anyways. She let out a sigh before continuing. "But trust? Fine - I'll admit I've been a little thin in that category. Your rampant insulting and obvious distaste for me haven't been helpful in handing it out though."

Now what?

"... but I do understand it must be infuriating to be forced to be by my side while I do not stand by yours ..." A slight gulp. "I, Selvina upon the honor of my name and my house promise to put my full efforts into trusting my familiar with my heart and will conduct our relationship in a manner indicating that you are worthy of my complete trust until proven otherwise." She meant it, of course. She wouldn't have sworn to her otherwise.

"... I'll have to get you something later, then ..." If she trusted Sly, she'd obviously have to receive the family crest. "Is ... is there anything else?"

Honestly, a nice, long massage and a well pampered meal sounded great before looking for more on the formorians.

Fia smiled as she nearly got one, then pouted slightly as the silly creature managed to slither away from her tip. The phoenix heard a few sloshes in the water nearby her and looked to check to see how Ritsa was doing.

Was Ritsa ... alright? Was she capable of not being incessantly bubbly at all times? For a couple of seconds the phoenix merely stared before asking her question somewhat nervously. "... Ritsa ...?" Fia wondered if the hydra had been overcome with a sudden illness from some mysterious source.

Hopefully she hadn't messed up. Of - Of course she didn't care about the annoying creature, but Livia would be disappointed, right!? And that was all she cared about!

Meowka glared in clear annoyance as she followed the pointing finger over to ... the cat let out a wide smile as she sniffed the air, dropping the doll as she picked up the large bag with both her arms and holding it close to her chest and licking her lips. Oh, she so badly wanted to take a bit or two from it ...

... a glance at the doll showed she probably wasn't supposed to do that though. The cat was clearly excited though, and gave the doll a slight smile but obviously wanted them to hurry up so she could enjoy her little treat.

Le Clothe blinked once or twice, but didn't seem too surprised as the fox transformed and nodded their head instead, although by the end of her comments the merchant had a slight scowl on their face. "Pleasure doing business with you."

Sel on the other hand seemed upset and slightly confused that their game had come to an end. Isn't this what the fox had wanted to do - elaborate teasing and pranks? Perhaps she was a little angry though, as Le Clothe had made it obvious on the receipt what the fox's true intentions likely were.

The fox wanted to talk? Fine. The mage gave an apologetic bow towards the merchant before giving Sly a brief look of conformation and heading out of the building down to a quiet alleyway between two streets. It was occupied by an abandoned dog, but a quick look in their direction convinced them to scram before Selvina looked back towards Sly with an obvious mixture of both frustration and confusion, although she remained silent as she waited for the fox to speak first.

The phoenix giggled slightly as she looked over at the hydra. "... yes, the water is shallow Ritsa ..." For a couple of moments Fia wondered if this was just Ritsa being Ritsa or if this was a strange result of the way in which the other girl grew up. Either way, a smirk crossed her face as she made another jab at a nearby one, though once again the spear attack missed it was instead replaced with a slight frown.

Of course, she needed to be more patient and wait for the perfect moment. Even then, they were awfully good at speeding away from whatever was jabbing at them. It was survival after all.

"... Ritsa, here ..." Fia quickly found a similarly sized stick for the other girl and held it out with a grin.

Meowka watched them from the corner of the eye as they played their little game, eyeing the nearby area with a little bit of surprise. How ... how was there so much food? Of course she knew most people were able to afford to eat but this was a strange sight for the cat who used to live on the streets. Now? She seemed to live a strange life of quasi opulence.

Her eyes returned to the ground as she watched the three finish their little game, naturally a little curious as to how they were deciding the outcome. Eventually though one held out their arms as if they wished to be lifted. For a few minutes, Meowka simply stared at it in confusion. Wasn't the cat normally the one who was supposed to be picked up? Meowka was surprised to find her blood boiling slightly as once again memories of her comforting Ronat in her arms and looking untough to make her feel better flowed into her mind. Of course she hadn't been scared of the ravenous dogs!

As the doll continued to raise its arms though the prowler of the night let out a sigh. "Fine. I'm just glad to know that I'm the short straw." Seeming a little unsure, the cat picked up one of the dolls in both of her arms and made sure to provide support beneath the feet and easy access to her shoulder to be leaned on. She had always liked that, at least.

Selvina glowered her eyes as Sly suddenly began to speak, but didn't move towards the door until looking more intensely at Sly as some mental communication happened. Le Clothe was writing something behind the counter though and glancing upwards periodically, holding up a finger that caused the mage to pause in her tracks while he other hand was writing on something behind the counter. After shooting a curious glance and wiping her face off, the mage approached the counter as she was beckoned towards it by the merchant.

"Your receipt, you silly thing. Look, if you need that dress resized for any reason you know its only a small fee." Selvina blinked a couple of times, and as she looked down at the pair of receipts her eyes drifted over them for a while before nodding and giving her familiar a steely look as Le Clothe seemed to organize some papers behind the counter, a friendly smile running across his face as Sel packed the dress into a bag.

"No Sly, that is not how a familiar of mine is going to act - running away with their tail behind their legs due to a simple misunderstanding. I want you to thank Le Clothe for making your clothes and be sure to curtsy appropriately as you do so. You practiced this earlier, I'm sure you can do it right." Selvina offered a friendly smile that obviously was concealing some other emotion behind it, and Le Clothe looked on expectantly but generally neutrally.

Fia simply tried to keep up as she was dragged along by the hydra, hoping her hand would eventually recover from feeling like it was being torn out of its socket. As they arrived, the phoenix started breathing raggedly in an attempt to recover and leaned against a tree. "... second ..." Despite not having an extremely high level of endurance, Fia took only a minute to recover mostly from the ordeal. She looked around for a second, finding a relatively spear - like stick luckily laying nearby. After snapping off a couple of branches, she picked up the makeshift weapon and approached the water. "... so we try to ... stab them ..." The phoenix reached forward with her point and made a stab for where a fish was ... the jab mostly missed, the fish scurrying away quickly.

She gave a smile to Ritsa. "... will take ... several tries ..."

"Me? I'm always smart." The cat responded seriously before approaching the doorway. Good experience? What was she talking about. She just hoped that the wizard wasn't going to try and make her into a maid and just beginning here.

As she closed the door behind her after letting the following dolls through she looked at them curiously. "So like ... y'know ... take me where you need to go." She still hadn't figured out how exactly the layout of this town worked.

Le Clothe raised an eyebrow as the cat who looked exactly like one of his customers the previous day and after pouting about not wanting help with clothes had suddenly changed their mind. This entire trip for these two customers had been suspicious initially because of the shapeshifting, but their behavior was just odd.

Still though he decided to help his customer and by the gods. As his hands loosened the bow just slightly he suddenly felt sick, although a second glance confirmed that yes, it was in fact there.

But why would have the mage invited her into the stall if this was her doing? What was going on here? Le Clothe hadn't let go of the ribbon, and in fact loosened it so much the entire neck was visible as it had practically fallen off. "... Stay. You in the stalls. Get out."

Selvina left the stalls in a hurry, walking out with her robes obviously having been put on in a hurry. As Le Clothe looked back towards the kitten's neck and noticed it was cleared of injury the man turned between the two of them.

"Alright. I'm not sure exactly what's going on here, but I find it EXTREMELY odd that a cat that literally walked in here yesterday is suddenly with a new master and a complete personality change. Your familiar either has a twin and one of you is able to deceive the eye."

Selvina seemed confused, then suddenly frightened as the man pulled out a wand and directed it at her. She didn't have spells prepared or anything, though the other hand remained around Sly's collar to prevent her from doing anything either.

"I have two questions for you, and you better answer them honestly or I'm going to be very unhappy." Sel gulped but nodded. "Are you Prince Swen?"

Sel nodded twice in affirmation after a moment's hesitation, eyes watering slightly at the unexpected chaos. "Your style is the exact same, and the amount of money you bring is the exact same. Even the signs of wear are similar across your clothes. I don't know why, but if you are trying to disguise yourself for some reason I advise you get a new wardrobe entirely along with a better fashion sense." The mage looked down slightly, but nodded. For a second she seemed to calm down, but Le Clothe pushed their wand out further and watched as Sel crumpled a bit more.

"What do you know about the injury to her neck? The big, black, veiny mess that looks like someone poured acid on it for fun."

Sel mumbled out everything she knew, about the fact that it hurt there when touched to Sly not being able to tell her and having never seen any sort of injury their either. Le Clothe lifted their wand, the magierprinz finally relaxing and taking a look around the room nervously. As the mage's eyes drifted up to Sly's clean neck though, she seemed confused.

"Wha- what are you talking about? Sly, what's going on?" Sel had a couple of tears going down her cheeks, but hadn't put the entire story together yet due to the shock.

Maoin let out a yelp as a painful sensation ran up her hand when the sword was jolted out of it suddenly, clamoring to the ground. Though her complaint ended as the knight raised the tip of her sword threateningly against her throat, the cat gulping instinctively in nervousness and her eyes looking at the edge until it was withdrawn. "... T-thanks La-Lady Lightsword. A-Always glad to be of s-service." It was obvious she was a little afraid and her ears were dropped down - improved by the end of the fight? It felt like she'd been wrestling with a castle!

It seemed that the cat recovered mostly from her state though by the time Lady Sorcha arrived and patted her on the head. She'd done her best, hadn't she? Maoin walked alone over to a nearby tree, hopping up to a comfortable branch and leaning against the trunk as she let her breaths flow in and out as she recovered from the duel.

Her eyes looked on with some concern, though she was more worried about the knightess getting injured or Lady Sorcha having one of her fits than anything else.

Fia watched herself being dragged out of the room, offering minimal protest - what was she going to do, break free from Ritsa? As they left the building the phoenix finally gathered herself up enough to walk alongside the hydra - it would be up to the other girl to let go though, so for now they were still holding hands.

"... Ritsa ... stream is that way ..." Fia's tone was still naturally quiet as always, but she gave the hydra a slight smile as she prepared to be hauled off again. For now, she was wondering what implement she'd use to hunt fish - it wasn't ass if there was a spear just laying around somewhere - perhaps a nice, sturdy, thin branch would serve the same purpose?

Meowka looked up into the mage's eyes. "It's warm." And put her head back down after declaring her simple statement of fact towards the other woman, although after a few second of thinking she realized that she was hungry as food was once again mentioned.

Well damn.

Food or sleep ...? It was a hard choice, but ... after a couple of seconds the Meowka growled at a pair of the dolls animalistic manner before rising from her seat with a stretch and putting the glare towards her new owner. "Fine. Lead the way, oh mighty dolls." She felt a little upset for being used in such a base manner, but sighed as she realized her owner wasn't the sort to just let her lounge around, was she?

Sel face turned red as suddenly her face was filled with an expression of pain, forcing herself to resist the urge to strangle the fox-girl in front of her. After a second she calmed down, but a smirk crossed her face as she suddenly realized it: the fox only responded that way when she was unable to respond otherwise. "It's your uniform, Sly, and a clumsy kitten like yourself needs to wear it during their training, alright?"

The mage kept any sort of unnecessary contact to a minimum however as she continued to help Sly into the cute little servant's uniform, being careful to use the pins to tie the thick bow around her neck as loosely as possible with her help. Selvina opened the door to the stall and kneeled down in front of the cat and gave her a quick few pats on the head. "There we go, that wasn't so bad, was it? Let's go back out where you'll thank Le Clothe for his services, alright? I still need to get some things for myself, so I expect you to be a good little kitten and stay right there, alright?" The mage pointed to a spot nearby the exit to the stall before approaching the counter and trying to order her previous items once again from Le Clothe. "If she's a bad kitten just let me know, alright? Although I don't think the shy thing be a problem."

Selvina gave Le Clothe a smile before entering the stall herself, carrying the new items in with her.

The kitten used her agility to spin her way back onto her feet, frowning as it seemed Luna was once again impervious to her attacks. Maoin frowned slightly, trying to figure out how to handle this situation.

She couldn't let this duel last forever, so she picked up her sword and charged at the paladin, swinging her sword directly at the knight's with one hand in hopes of removing both of them from the fight and reaching for her own dagger with the other hand, hoping to pull it out and start jabbing it into whatever parts of Luna weren't armored. If it took more than a couple of seconds, she'd try to use one of Land Sorcha's grapples to grapple Lady Lightsword and knock her feet from beneath her so she could execute her opponent on the ground where it would be easier to stab her.

The phoenix let out a sigh of relief as Ritsa seemed placated with their exchange and found herself enjoying the brief hug the hydra provided in spite of herself. She wasn't trapped, and that made her feel more comfortable with it.

Although trying to think up of a game seemed a little strange to her. What games DID kids play aside from chase eachother - the phoenix never really had played games, and she wasn't going to destroy her lungs again by chasing the hydra fruitlessly again. She closed her eyes, trying to think of something.

Maybe ... oh yes! She had dreamed of hunting fish out of a river once with spears! A smile crossed Fia's face as she realized that meant she didn't need to run anymore. "... spear fishing ... there's a convenient stream nearby that has a few fishes for us ..." Hopefully the hydra would consider that to be satisfactory. Of course, that meant the two of them would have to leave the room. And get spears.

The phoenix looked towards Livia expectantly, asking both for permission and the objects needed to hunt with.

Meowka pouted as she wasn't given the attention that any cat undoubtedly deserved. She didn't mind - of course not! She was a prowler of the knight and didn't need some woman to pet her! Her head went still though as she closed her eyes again - this spot was warm and seemed perfect for a cat nap. The cat wrapped her arms around Mistress Katherine's neck, allowing her breathing to slow as she didn't really think about what the woman had said to her.

Selfish? Someone was possessive, at least ... her breathing slowed down, and if the teacher allowed it the cat would be gone to the realm of sleep pretty quickly.

Sel's eyes narrowed as the fox mentioned that, and Sly would feel a swat against her bottom. Nothing gruesome, but more simply to catch her attention. "Now stop standing there and drop your clothes, silly kitten." The mage gave a smile in return as she observed the articles of clothing and listened to the instructions Le Clothe gave her repeat in her mind. "I'll put this on you the first time, but I expect you to do it afterwards."

The fox would probably be surprised at how little Selvina seemed to mind the entire comment as a whole - or at least how she chose to respond to it. The fox had probably shapeshifted a lot in the past, meaning that she probably legitimately wasn't used to wearing this. In addition ... the fox-cat would feel her mage's lips get close to her ear as she let out a whisper. "I'm just surprised about how badly you want my hands all over you suddenly. Is it that time of the year?" A grin crossed her lips as the mage started to undo the first article of clothing, letting it land against the ground.

Maoin watched the charge as it occurred, gulping. She was tired - but she wasn't exhausted. Her eyes darted around for a moment before she decided to make her choice.

She tossed another dagger at the Knight's face when she started to get to speed, hoping the momentum would force a block rather than a dodge and make Luna lean backwards off balance just a bit. Then she dodged to the left with her cat like agility out of Luna's path, sending a leg as hard as she possibly could as a kick against the back Lady Luna's legs, hoping she'd fall on her backside against the grass.

Either way, the front of her leg would likely have a bruise from encountering a fully armored knight, however.

Fia blinked once or twice as she was asked out to the festival. From her brief readings asking someone to go with you to a festival was a ... romantic endeavor, right? And the way the headmistress chuckled seemed to confirm that. She still wasn't exactly sure how romance and love were supposed to work, but apparently they could also be related to the 'fun' she had seen Livia and Cynthia have together earlier in the office.

She wasn't really sure if Ritsa had meant for it to be like that, but the hydra had surprised her earlier ... maybe this whole childlike persona was just an act or only part of her personality?

A blush spread across the phoenix's cheeks as the realization suddenly hit her of why Ritsa was always trying to spend time with her. She didn't really have any feelings for the hydra in turn, but if she said no Livia would likely be incredibly disappointed. And well Ritsa would be as sad as well, wouldn't she be? Bashfully the phoenix responded as she twirled her piece of hair. "... s-sure ..."

Meowka frowned slightly as the archiwizard decided to be no fun, but obediently raised her arms when pressed to do so and allowed for the older woman to use her measuring tape thingy. She looked over it curiously, but the serious language that her new mistress seemed to use made it obvious that now probably wasn't the best time to start asking those sorts of questions. She put the dress on as instructed, though was a little surprised as the woman once again asserted her ownership over her pet. It wasn't quite as comfortable, but at least a fitted one was being made at the moment.

She had said no to playing around with others, hadn't she? At least it wasn't springtime yet, and in truth being this woman's pet had been largely a profitable arrangement. So as usual, she replied with a grin as she sat herself down in the lap of the dollmaster. "Mistress, I understand you're the jealous sort alright? I'll be sure to accommodate your lack of confidence!" The cat shook her butt a little playfully before curling up slightly and resting her head against the other woman's chest. It likely wouldn't be difficult for her owner to work around her like this, and besides it was comfortable here. Meowka rubbed her head up in down in a demand for pets.

"Anyways, when are you bringing any of your playmates in? Or is everyone rejecting my poor archwizard?" She hadn't seen them at all, after all.

Selvina glared slightly as the cat was obviously putting on a fake but admittedly cute performance. The mage let out a sigh, realizing that it was far easier to be nice to the fox in this form despite the mental message she was just receiving. "Oh my little bashful kitten, you'd rather just have me help?" Scratches behind the ear. "I'm sure we can figure it out on our own. Can you direct us to your changing stalls?" The pair quickly found themselves directed by Le Clothe to a pair of the stalls, where Selvina was given quick instructions on how to put the costume on Sly and handed over the clothes before closing the door behind them as he walked away.

Of course, the mage was enjoying this entire act and put on a smile as she decided to keep it up. Besides, it was possible someone would still hear them outside the changing room. "Now be a good kitten and let me put this on you, alright Sly?" Quite frankly, the mage was a little excited to see the fox both in this form and her original one wearing this cute little costume.

The cat was forced to jump back as Lady Lightsword let out another swing - and would have lost her balance if it wasn't for her natural sense of agility. A frown crossed her face - she had really been hoping to catch the knightess of guard sufficiently, but apparently the paladin was both well trained and talented. Maoin pushed a little sweat off her brow with her sleeve before taking another step back.

It was Luna's turn to initiate, at least. The cat let out a few breaths as she began to remember how exhausting fighting truly could be. If it hadn't been for her mistress' intense training regimen, she would have already been wheezing for breath due to her naturally light constitution.

Her eyes began to drift around as she waited for the inevitable confrontation, trying to come up with some sort of plan of attack.

Fia practically jumped up slightly as the door slammed open and the sound of a childish hydra approached - she contemplated saying that she still had paperwork to do, but it was rather obvious that Livia had both intended for this to happen and Ritsa wouldn't allow her to without nigh constant pestering. With a sigh, the crimson haired girl stood up and winced slightly as she was still sore from yesterday. "... one second ..." Fia hadn't been expecting to have fun - no, be bothered - with Ritsa so soon and found herself stretching out her limbs. "... Ritsa ... are you staying for the ... festival ...?" It wasn't so much trying to ask the girl to be her date as a simple question of curiosity from the phoenix, although it was rather apparent how an outsider could misinterpret that.

Eventually Fia stood up, ready for the playtime that would ensue following whatever response Ritsa gave out.

A smile crossed Meowka's face as she realized her mistress was just trying to give her more gifts worthy of such a grand familiar, and she jumped off the shelf and landed in front of the archwizard and dropped her clothing to the floor obediently before grabbing the offered underwear and slipping on the simpler garment.

The cat made a somewhat seductive pose, looking over her shoulder at the mage with her knees bent just slightly and her butt sticking out a little in mistress Katherine's directions. "Oh, so Mistress Katherine plays in the morning!" The prowler of the night attempted to sound as seductive as possible. "Sure you want me to keep these on?" After all, she had been naked in front of this woman before, and while still bent over the cat put one of her fingers around the sides of the panties and pushed them down just slightly while looking at Mistress Katherine with big eyes.
