"E-Eith?" Selvina had been worried for her own health as the hound began to get angry as her cheeks became more and more inflamed. As the color disappeared though, the mage looked on in surprise on how she lost her anger so quickly. The stunned mage reached forward to catch the falling Eith but failed to grasp her as she collapsed - she had never been much of an athlete, but overall the hound would probably be alright. She healed from wounds very quickly after all.

The mage looked up at Miren as she cradled the girl's head in her arms. This didn't seem like the standard overheating procedure. "Go get someone to help!" The mage ordered. "Find a nurse or someone!"

"Y-you won't be upset?" Maoin looked at Lady Sorcha with a bit more doubt then what she intended. A lot of masters liked to have control of their pets in many ways, and even those who said they wouldn't mind - such as Lady Gwynn - certainly did mind. The kitten simply had her doubts about the dragoness not being upset at all about that sort of circumstance - although Lady Sorcha seemed far more effective at delivering her emotions.

She'd still try to avoid humans due to obvious complications with loyalty between two people of equivalent rank ... but who would even be interested? Maoin pulled herself away from her natural curiosity and leaned towards Lady Sorcha. "You'll still pet me Mistress?" The kitten gave a slight pout and let her tail go back in forth in hopes she'd be given a nice massage on her head.

Selvina frowned as it seemed Eith was very upset here. Thinking about the previous interaction the girl remembered how irritated the hound had been when she hadn't been addressed immediately in her room. Bunny could wait then. "I was here shopping, and asked where you were. If I had this conversation on my terms, I would have returned here after buying a couple of pounds of brisket." Food really was the way to Eith's heart, obviously. "I've been awfully busy these past couple of days but I figured you were doing alright ... I wasn't sure why you stormed down, but I thought it would be better to let things cool down - in the metaphorical sense - between us."

Maoin's ears dropped. Was Lady Sorcha upset with her for asking her ... or even for her actions with her previous owner? "I apologize Lady Sorcha." Of course, she still needed to answer the why. "I ... my previous mistress often had me serve in other ways as well." Though those hadn't really been orders, and certainly not one sided. "... and ... y'know ... it's been a few weeks ..." The cat shifted uncomfortably in her seat and seemed to focus on her meal and NOT think about that conversation. Was this the real reason why her and Lady Gwynn had split up? Should she have ignored or put down her own feelings?

She hoped Lady Sorcha wouldn't chastise her for this, though she wouldn't be surprised if she did.

Fia gradually seemed to pick up on the locations of various items within the kitchen until all the items waited before Cynthia, ready to be used. Ritsa and Mugi were largely ignored as the phoenix worked to the behest of her own maid.

Selvina watched mayhem unfold in the store as Lyssa and Ayumi - not currently embodying the black fox - happily ran from the store after breaking through the window and giving chase. The mage gave the bunny an apologetic look and waved her wand around twice and muttered a few words at the broken shards, the pieces lifting into the air and gradually placing themselves back into their original places and sealing together. A simple repair spell useful for quills and such.

The noble gave the bunny an apologetic look. "I'm surprised they didn't cut themselves to shreds doing that. You'll still need some sealant around the edges though to be replaced." As she heard Eith's voice however the mage turned her head in the puppy's direction, waving hello. "Hi Eith ... Lyssa and Ayumi from the trip broke into the store and stole a book. Kozue is in hot pursuit though."

Though of course, it'd be hotter with Eith along, wouldn't it?

Maoin put her fingers together again, giving Lady Sorcha a weak smile. "Of-of course Mistress. Apologies for being a silly kitten." If she wanted to keep talking, it would have to wait for later. It was likely Lady Luna could be returning from the bathroom. "Any orders, Lady Sorcha?" Truthfully Maoin would jump off a cliff at this point if it meant avoiding thinking of that horrendously awkward conversation again.

Fia worked rather slowly, although not intentionally. She had never really been in a kitchen aside from a couple of times in her dreams, and trying to find all of these items was rather confusing. That would likely be clear to Cynthia as the girl wondered around, trying to follow the maid's directions before her anger was incited.

The mage looked at Kouze, raising an eyebrow after a couple of seconds of staring. Here? At a bookstore? That truthfully seemed like a nightmare for poor Eith - why would she choose to live here? Before Selvina could politely approach Miren after choosing what words to say the priestess already took the spotlight and did that task for her. The noble let out a slight pout, but otherwise didn't complain to the foreign woman.

Instead, she looked towards Miren if she approached. "Yes, I'm afraid I upset Eith a couple of days ago and she hasn't been back to my place since then. I'm not exactly sure why but I just wanted to make sure she was alright."

Maoin let out a small sigh after Lady Sorcha finished conveying her response. The servant looked around for a couple of seconds and then nodded. She wasn't sure if she was disappointed, confused, or comfortable with that. Belonging to Lady Gwynn had never gotten in the way of such activities, but of course that hadn't gone so well. Maybe that was for the best?

The dragoness would see several thoughts run across the kitten's face as she seemed to think about the implications of what was said, but a slow nod followed afterwards. "... I ... I can sleep on top of ... the cabinet then, if you get me a nice crate." After a couple of seconds the cat surprisingly decided to try teasing her mistress. "After all, I want my owner to have as much room as she needs to pounce on Lady Lightsword. Yep!"

Selvina shook her head. "No, Eith is not contracted to me. She was simply living at my place but I think I must have angered her. Do you have any idea where she is?" The mage also used this opportunity to steer the conversation away from Sly - it was rather clear the monk-priestess did not think of Sly in any sort of pleasant way. The books would likely be better for figuring out things regarding that subject.

Not very surprising, considering the woman contained the spirit of the white fox really. But the mage had decided to trust the black fox which meant letting her go free under the conditions of anyone who held her complete trust. It was a little unnerving, but the fox hadn't been opposed to being held at least so that was a development.

The kitten put her fingers together as she wasn't given the answer to the question she was trying to ask. "... I ... I ... I meant about me. Us ..." Maoin felt like drowning herself at this point, and pointedly looked everywhere but the direction of Lady Sorcha as her tail swished around to add to her expression of emotion.

Fia looked back at the hydra, shrugged, and would continue about the kitchen tasks as directed. The phoenix wasn't exactly sure what was upsetting the child aside from Cynthia being Cynthia, but hadn't the maid given her a massage recently? Didn't the girl understand that no matter how standoffish and awkward she was that she was here to serve them? Fia looked towards Ritsa with a smile. "... it is okay ...."

Selvina frowned slightly as she observed the bunny explain that she wasn't too sure about the formorians. A small pout formed across her lips, but at the news of someone else studying the fox? That was useful at least.

Of course, it was ... Kozue. The holder of the white fox spirit. The mage raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious about why the spirit itself would have questions about its own nature. "Thank you, Miren." The mage lowered herself into a chair across from the priestess and picked up one of the books on the table and responded absentmindedly. "Likely doing the same thing you are. I suppose you can't tell me anything about my own familiar, can you?" Didn't Inari curse the creatures somehow? Selvina wasn't too big of a fan about the entire situation either after seeing the horrendous scarring running across Sly's body.

"Well uh you know ya seem to like Luna and all and errr ..." Why was her hair suddenly so interesting? The girl continued somewhat nervously. "... you obviously like playing around and umm ... I'm your servant so ... you know ... your my mistress and ... orders ..." The kitten put her fingers together as she asked her question, praying that one of the highbeams would crush her before she had to explain herself or Lady Sorcha explained herself.

Fia hadn't been paying attention to most of their conversation, instead still holding out the fish that Cynthia had and wondering why the hydra was latching onto her like her life depended on it. "Fish?" The phoenix set the box of fish onto the counter where the maid would be able to find it before looking over at Ritsa with a slight smile. "... are you ... okay ...?"

Selvina gave the bunny a quick little smile. "I'm looking for books about the formorians. One of my friends is concerned that she angered them - specifically sources about any legendary swords they may have had." The mage took a quick look around the bookstore and decided to give Miren a small smile. The bunny was incredibly well travelled according to what she knew about them. "If this is a specially curated collection I expect something quite nice. And sources about any legendary foxes - kitsune - would be appreciated as well. Especially darker colored ones."

Of course it was rather obvious what Selvina was asking for if the rabbit had any knowledge of their discussion. The librarian likely had ideas about what she was talking about. They tended to be well learned. "How about Inari?"

Maoin took another bite out of her small chicken plate - they had been a little surprised, but even the world's most fish loving cat would eventually tire of the taste - and watched carefully as the knightess excused herself from the table to go to the restroom. Lady Sorcha would have likely noticed that the cat was off throughout the entire meal (remaining very quiet) but she quickly entered 'I have a question mode - fingers pressed together, somewhat submissive posture - as she gulped several times and eventually blurted out what was on her mind.

It wasn't respectful, but it was all the girl could manage to blurt out the general subject with little regard for class. "So-s-so what about sex!?" For a couple of seconds the kitten let her face flush in silent before remembering to address the dragon properly. "Mistress."

Fia frowned as she entered the cold storage, forcing herself to push down the panic that rose up within her and grabbing the fish before holding them out for Cynthia. For a few moments she wondered why this servant was ordering her around, but the imposing woman seemed to have an air of authority around her matched only by the headmistress herself and her natural tenacity for leadership and her commanding presence - sometimes the girl wondered if Livia had adopted her as something along the lines of a daughter ...

... of course, that thought left her mind quickly. They had too much 'fun' together for that, didn't they?

Selvina walked towards the new bookstore, Sly being left behind in their dormitory. Honestly, she felt a little nervous about the mischief but she trusted that the fox would keep everything to a manageable level.

Soon enough she found the new bookstore that arrived in town - after this, she would be looking for Eith. The mage knocked on the door a little awkwardly before opening it and walking within the bookstore and taking a quick look around.

If she saw Miren, she'd likely look at her and blink a few times before finally responding. "Seems like you shrunk your collection just a bit."

Fia blinked a couple of times and leaned against a nearby wall, seeming to avoid the conversation and the general meeting of people. She'd been in the manor, right? When Cynthia decided she had to leave? Wasn't that when she was chased by Ritsa out to the yard like crazy?

Selvina glared just slightly at the fox as she decided to try and ignore the obvious teasing. She had decided to trust the fox despite how idiotic that likely was. "I AM still your master, Sly. Although it seems like you are enthusiastic to hop in bed with me." The mage sat down on the bed next to her fox petting her tail slowly and keeping her other hand on the grimore. A slight static charge ran through her body - but now that the magic had somewhere to go she simply acted as a conduit rather than the ending point for the power.

And truthfully it was pretty efficient. Charged inks were far more expensive than ones you charged yourself and Sly was saving a considerable amount of money at the moment. It'd probably be best to keep her method about this secret - the fox would likely be disappointed to know that she had been bested.

"Anyways, I'm going to go around town. I hear there's a new bookstore open ... also, Eith hasn't been home in a bit and I'd like to find her to make sure she's alright. You can come along if you wish ... or stay here and do whatever." Selvina would offer her an arm in case the fox wanted to continue to pursue her lifetime goal of being a hat.

Maoin's blush spread as she was lectured about her horrible blunder in reading the situation. A simple glance at Lady Lightsword revealed that the other woman was likely more embarrassed than she was about this entire situation, meaning she had made this horribly awkward and uncomfortable as well.

The kitten glanced up momentarily in hopes that a massive rock would fall from the sky and crush her instantly. Of course, whatever rocks lined the heavens were not so easy to command and the neko instead lowered her eyes to the ground as her ears dropped and her tail hid between her legs - which of course she grabbed and cuddled against her chest in a rather adorable manner.

"Your ki-"

She contemplated saying something but instead simply nodded towards each of them with a slight curtsy in an apologetic manner and continued to pray that rock would fall on her. She was a very, very dumb kitten.

Selvina sighed a little in relief as she heard the fox's voice entered her mind telepathically from a much more manageable size. Despite knowing how much it would annoy her, the mage lifted the fox carefully up (ensuring she avoided any sensitive areas) and picked her up into her arms. "Don't worry, you can stay like this forever!" After rubbing her cheek against Sly's soft fur a couple of times teasingly.

"Anyways, I need to give something to you now at least." The mage adjusted her arms so the fox could climb up on her shoulder or remain in her arms as she wished. "Just stick with me for a bit, I'll explain it all when you we get back to the dorm."

Whether Sly decided to hop down or not, Sel would travel with the fox back to her dorm room where she would start searching for something through a couple of drawers before pulling out a small little talisman and connected it to a small bracelet with a minor enchantment on it. The mage picked up the fox's left paw and put the small thing on her, the talisman showing a Grimore with an arcane symbol in the background. "This is so that others will know not to mess with you or they will face my families wrath ... be responsible with it, but I hope it saves a couple of mages from being injured by you in the long run. It also should give you access to a small line of credit with most merchants around here - my family has reputable enough funding that they can afford to be billed."

Maoin jumped up slightly from her position several hundred feet away as she heard a surprisingly loud voice boom through the forest. That ... that hadn't been that long. Was the dragon so skilled that they could finish that quickly? The kitten's eyes widened at the thought - Lady Sorcha undoubtedly had -

No Maoin stop thinking about that you ... Besides, her mistress sounded more irritated or annoyed with her than anything else. The cat began her walk back which took a couple of minutes and soon returned to the clearing after circling around a tree and seeing both Lady Luna and her owner standing together near where she had left them.

And the dragon was giving her a seriously inquisitive look. Had ... had she been meant to stay for that? Did Lady Sorcha want her to join in? Was she in trouble? A slight blush ran across Maoin's cheeks at the thought as she looked around and avoided looking at the pair. "... Y-yes?" The dragon still had a questioning look on her face. "I-I had just gone for a walk while you two f-finished up. The fight that is." The girl's overall demeanor - her voice, ears, and tail - suggested she didn't think it had been a fight.

"D-do you um ..." The cat was flustered enough by their interaction that she had forgotten to even say 'mistress'.

Fia gave the dying and suffocating fish a sympathetic glance but nodded at Ritsa as the pair of them returned together to the headmistress office. Hopefully the fish had died by then. "L-Livia?" The crimson haired girl opened the door and entered the room. "C-can you cook this? Is Cynthia here?" The phoenix held up the fish as she approached the desk, expecting Ritsa to be at her heels.

"... You already knew we were coming, right ...?" Now that she was paying attention, it seemed that the headmistress was always watching over her.

Meowka lowered herself to the ground with a noncommittal cat like glare before curling up on the quilt and giving off a less committed purr. Aside from periodically moving around and pretending to eat fish and having her tail flop around and possibly touch Katherine a few times the woman would find her peace of mind to work. The prowler of the night would mutter 'Ronat' a few times in a combination of both happy and sad voices, but overall she seemed to be enjoying her nap as Katherine dedicated her life to caring for her.
