Gwynn stayed up most of the night. She couldn't sleep, not after what happened. She mostly spent most of the night at the table...drinking, having stopped petting the kitten after she fell asleep. By the time it was early morning, a few bottles of alcohol had already been emptied and were sitting on the table and Gwynn was laying face down on it, a half empty one still in her hands. She hadn't slept at all, even as tired as she was. She was worried that the kitten might do something else if she did sleep and she wouldn't wake up in time to stop her if she tried too.
But now? Well, she had made up her mind. She was going to do it now, and no one could convince her otherwise. She had thought about the people she knew that could possibly help. Luna came to mind, but she wouldn't be of much help. She'd probably just say something like 'love the damn cat, woman' and honestly Gwynn might just punch her back if she did. She didn't love Maoin. How could she say she did if she didn't? She also considered Swen. He didn't have a familiar, and he was...well, nice enough and would probably appreciate her. But he was also someone she didn't exactly want to rely on considering their...arrangement. Asking help from him would practically be giving into the demands of her parents which was
not something she was going to be doing. In truth, Gwynn knew very few people. She didn't exactly make a point to try and make tons of friends like that pink haired girl that occasionally popped out of nowhere and gave her a hug before running off and doing the exact same thing to everyone else.
So the only other person Gwynn could think of, was Livia. The headmistress.
As much as she had some rather...suspicions about the woman Livia had, for the most part, been fairly nice and hadn't tried to force her to get good at the whole cleaning thing and let her try and learn at her own pace. Cynthia of course, had berated her constantly but she did help where she could. The two of them were probably the only people that Gwynn could trust with this, weren't they? Gwynn sighed, pushing herself up off the table. She probably looked absolutely fabulous, what with the fact it was obvious she didn't get much sleep and the fact her hair was a mess, but it didn't matter.
She was done with this. She took off the dress, folding it neatly and placing it on the end of the bed. Instead, she put on clothing much more comfortable for her. A simple sleeveless shirt, as well as some rather mundane looking long pants and her sturdy boots and leather gloves. Nothing flashy. Something easy to move in, and something that wouldn't really draw someones attention. She thought about gathering a few of her more important things...but it they were gone Maoin might get suspicious of she woke up before she left.
Just one thing left to do then.
She wrote a small note, and stuck it on the door.
'Maoin, gone out to train. Couldn't sleep. Someone should be coming by this morning, so stay and make sure they're welcome.
Clean or something...whatever it is you normally do.'It'd at least distract the cat long enough if she had something to do. With that, Gwynn left, making sure to not make much noise on her way out.
~30 minutes later, Headmistress' home~
"So we have a deal, then, miss Foghlu?""...Yes.""I'll look after your cat for now, make sure nothing happens and send you on your way. You'll have a ship, a crew, and all you have to do is look into something for me.""I said yes, didn't I?""Hm. Very well then. I shall speak with Maoin and stop her from doing anything destructive. I already have a familiar, though I can think of a certain someone who doesn't and would likely take good care of her.""Great.""Here then. A letter. Take it to the first master of the ship in question, and if he has a problem with anything you can tell him he can speak with me. Show this letter to the staff at the teleportation circle and they'll give you a co-ordinate for some place just outside of a port city by the name of Cagliari on Sardinia. You should probably get moving the sooner you arrive the better, though I might suggest some sleep before you get there.""I can take care of myself, thanks.""Hah...very well then. And good luck, Gwynn. I shall miss having to boss you around on the weekends.""Just...make sure Maoins' safe, alright?""I will."There as the sound of footsteps and a door being opened and closed.
"Hm...I hope Katherine likes cats." The headmistress stood from her seat, heading back up to her room to get dressed. Well, today was proving to be quite interesting...now just to make sure the kitten didn't do something rash. She'd have sent Cynthia to retrieve the kitten, but she already had the day off.
The rest of the night for the young prince, would have been surprisingly peaceful. Well, aside from the fact that Lyssa somehow ended up laying horizontally on the bed, and on top of him. The demon didn't seem too keen on waking up anytime soon though, so if he wanted to free himself from her villainy, now would be a good time to do so.
