Avaline

---

"Aha-itsh delishous!" She spoke, mouth full of food not realizing that was probably a little rude, though it didn't take her long to down it. Finally remembering to chew her food, or rather swallow it practically whole, Avaline gave Luna a bright grin. O-one of everything? Oh could she have one of everything? Realistically, she had no idea what any of these things were, so there was only one obvious answer to this question.

"Indeed, Master Luna! I will have one of everything! Tribute for the mighty dragon and all that, yes!" She was still holding her tail next to her body to prevent any unwanted accidents, but the end of it still flailed madly, obviously she was quite happy with this arrangement.

Khira & Miren

---

"Hm...nothing, Alpha. It means whatever you think it means, heh." She replied lazily. That was her job after all, to take care of Eith now and to help her with whatever it was she wanted help with. Simple as that. Whether that be physical, emotional, or other such needs. Still, though...Khira rolled over on the couch, frowning a bit. Blegh, she just couldn't get comfortable in this place. To loud. To many smells. To many...weak people. She was a predator by nature, and had difficulties speaking with such people.

Ha...if only goat was still here. He would easily be able get comfortable here.

"Hmm...the rabbit's back." Khira said, just as Miren opened the door to the upper part of the store.

"Whew," Miren Hopped in, immediately walking over to Eith. "That didn't take as long as I thought...so, Eith. Livia wants you to come by the medical facilities of the campus either tomorrow or the day after, whenever you feel like it." She walked over, giving Eith a pat on the head. "Just a little longer, alright?" Khira watched, humming lightly at the somewhat endearing scene.

...heh.

She got up off the couch, walking over to the two of them quietly before suddenly wrapping the two of them in a big, firm hug.

"E-eh!? K-khira?!"

Livia

---

Oh...well, this was curious. Aside from being adorably nervous, this girl obviously wasn't too used to how to properly go about things. She could of course, handle enrollment personally but there was a proper channel to things so she didn't have to approve everything herself. She didn't mind the break from the usual work, though. Livia leaned back in her chair and thoughtfully hummed.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Otille. Let me be the first to welcome you to my humble academy." Livia offer her a friendly smile. "Come in, please, take a seat." She motioned to one of the empty seats in front of her desk. "I'm not sure what exactly you've heard, but you must know that the tuition fee here isn't exorbitantly high like some other academies. I want education for people, not money, so as long as you show some talent or desire to learn, I think we could work something out in the end."

Chione

---

"Aha...thank you. I am grateful." She offered Katherine a friendly smile. "And don't worry, I can handle myself when it comes to a place to rest ones head. Wouldn't be my first time roughing it, haha." Chione for now, would follow Katherine then. She wouldn't ask anything pertaining to what she was doing here, no. To suspicious and she was fairly certain this woman would be difficult to deal with if she did. So for now, she'd just follow her and let her show her around campus and town a little.

Celine & Marie

---

"I think it fairly obvious what that would entail." Celine gave Kozue a mildly disappointed look. "That is a demon who's specialty lies in charisma and a small bit of mind control. No doubt she's using her charm abilities on them to make them think she's greater than she is." The undine continued with a displeased huff as she tossed the doll off to the side, now uninterested in it. "I'm simply suggesting we ruing that illusion of hers and put her in her place."

Of course, that was mostly a selfish whim on her part. The way that filth carried herself was irritating and made her own pride boil. Demons shouldn't be so uppity, no. Especially not in the presence of a divine being as her self.

"And I thought you disliked demons, hm? Livia won't mind if she starts something anyways."

Lyssa

---

"Hehe," Lyssa giggled brightly. "Don't worry about it...Ayumi and I have constant prank wars going on." Lyssa replied, showing Fia into her room. It was as messy and disorganized as it always was. The only things that seemed out of place was a crashed pile of books and a empty dresser sitting in the middle of the floor. She closed the door behind Fia, standing quietly in front of the door and giving Fia a friendly smile. "So, what do you wanna talk about?"

Pokémon: Start

Mhm~

I'll hopefully have a post up tomorrow.

Legacy of Harena

"Are...are you crazy? Is that your idea of laying low? Killing people?" Charlotte asked with a sigh, holding a hand to her head. What Himeko was saying was troubling. She'd like to avoid any death or conflict at all, if needed. She cast a glance over to the three sisters again. It might have been better to accept her offer, though it seemed like they might be a little late to that. "Look, I'd prefer if we didn't cause such a scene so before you get all 'I'm a great tengu fear me'. Let me handle the talking if something happens and under no circumstances do something stupid." She was at least, confident with building a logical and sound argument should they be accosted by someone. She might have to use a few of her tricks.

Still, she turned back to the food, taking a bite of the fowl.

Hmm...it wasn't half bad, heh.

---

"Please, Katherine," Livia sighed, feeling Katherine's foot on her knee. "The only thing I'm jealous of is how you remain so playfully frivolousness when you're so incompetent." One of her hands disappeared under the table grabbing Katherine's ankle. Not that she'd admit it of course, but she did enjoy a little playful attention from Katherine every now and then. "And I was as polite as Marise was. I even introduced myself and everything, but no. They are either liars or think themselves careful. If its the former then they are immediately scum." One hand lifted the slipper-sandal like shoes off the sole of her foot, the other began giving her foot a light tickling while her face remained as calm as it ever was. "If it is the latter, then I will watch with amusement when they are confronted by the guard. Why, I almost want them to try resisting if they do so I can put them in their place myself."

"...Aha, That's no good Livia." Marise chuckled lightly, knowing full well that even if she said that, Livia would likely end up helping in the end. "Perhaps Katherine was right when she said you were a demon?" She teased, giving her younger sister a playful smirk.

"A demon? Please. A demon wouldn't have offered assistance in the first place. Isn't that right, Katherine?" She cast a glance over to Katherine to see if she was reacting at all.

---

Lunch went well enough for them. The waterfowl was delicious, as was the salad. It was, well, exceptionally well done. Huhm, she had to wonder if all food tasted this good outside of Astril's walls. She leaned back in her chair, full and honestly, she could go for a nap after the meal. That would be a delay though, and they had plans here. So after finishing off the last of her drink Charlotte stood, glancing over to Himeko.

"Done yet?" Charlotte asked, stretching. "Whew...I haven't eaten something so good in awhile." They still had to pay of course, but she was pretty sure she could cover it herself.

Legacy of Harena

"Tsk," Livia sighed, leaning back in her seat and gave Himeko a cold look. "I was attempting to be civil, you know, but I suppose I'll simply be blunt, since that is all you fools ever seem to understand." Livia lowered her voice, leaning over the table a bit as she gave the other people around them a cautious look. "The ruling parties in this city...shall we say, don't take kindly to non-humans or those humans that can perform...certain feats. My family is one of the only ones who have legal permission to do so. I was going to offer an ignorant traveler protection," She leaned back in her chair, giving a dismissive huff. "But I suppose since you are a human, you don't need to worry, then. Apologies for bothering you."

Livia got up from her chair, just as Gerald was bringing out their food.

"I'll be eating with my sisters after all, Gerald." She said, motioning to him. With a friendly smile he sat her food on the previous table, and proceeded to bring Charlotte and Himeko their as she took a seat.

"Here we are..." Gerald sat the food on their table, quickly setting everything up. "If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to call." With that, the servant left and they were free to do as they wished.

"...if what she said is true that might pose problems for both of us, Himeko." Charlotte replied. "What do you think?" Livia was still close enough to pursue further conversation if they wished, but it seemed like the younger girl might have been done with them.

---

"A demon am I?" Livia gave Katherine a light swat on the back of her head. Nothing too hard, just a little friendly shove. "Better a demon than a pervert who flirts with their sister." Livia returned to her previous seat, taking a great interest in her food now that she didn't have to speak with Himeko and Charlotte.

"Welcome back, sister. Have fun harassing the travelers?" She gave Livia a smile.

"Hm...they were quite obstinate. I was simply offering potential help should they need it, and they were quite rude." She looked over to Katherine. "Are you done making Marise question her morals, Katherine?"

Legacy of Harena

"If I want to watch my sisters be nauseating, I can do that at home." Livia replied in a rather curt, dismissive manner. "Besides, talking with an...exotic woman such as yourself is much more interesting." She gave Himeko and Charlotte both a playful smirk. A somewhat small mercy, but she was at least interested enough in these two to let Katherine and Marise have their moment. "Now, I have introduced myself so I do think it's about time you told me your names, hm? Or am I simply going to have to refer to you as 'dishonest' and 'grumpy face'?"

"...My face is not that grumpy looking." Charlotte replied with a frown. Sure, she may have gotten lost in thought quite a bit but she didn't think it was that bad.

"Well, it certainly is right now." Livia replied with a playful smirk.

"If it is, it's because of people like you." This earned a small chuckle from Livia as she rest Livia rest her chin on her hands as she propped her elbows up on the table as she waited for a reply from Himeko.

---

"Katherine," Marise replied with a somewhat troubled look. "You and Livia are my dear sisters. I would never let anything come between the three of us, even if Livia is a cynical fool that greatly dislikes people, and you are worse than a drunken philanderer." She sighed, replying back to Katherine. She was likely taking this far too seriously, but it was a little hard not too when she couldn't tell when Katherine was ever being serious about something. Always teasing and saying such things. "So for now, I will only look at and make sure my adorable little sisters are doing well."

"Having fun are we?" Before Katherine could reply in full, Gerald finally bought them their food, placing both trays in front of them. "I'll bring Livia's to hers with her...new guests, hm? Enjoy, you two." The waiter walked back to the kitchens.

"Well, enough of that, hmm, Katherine? The food is here and I'd rather us not make much more of a scene. Why, if Livia's eyes rolled any further back, they might think she's possessed or something."

Legacy of Harena

"Ah...perhaps I am wrong." Livia replied with a playful inflection. Whether she actually believed Himeko or not was difficult to tell. She didn't think she was wrong - spirits don't lie. They may confuse and misunderstand things, but they never lie.

"Decided yet-Oh, miss Fiore...meeting the new travelers?" It was Gerald again, coming to see if they had finally decided what they would be eating. She said nothing to Gerald of course, merely nodding in reply as she continued to observe the two other girls and letting them order, Gerald taking a few notes before Charlotte finished giving it. "Excellent choice, I shall have it out momentarily." The waiter left, heading to take a few more orders from more guests before heading back into the kitchen. Hopefully it would be done soon. For now though, Himeko and Charlotte were left alone with Livia.

"Livia Fiore," She introduced herself after Gerald left. "I suppose if you are human, then you have nothing to worry about." Livia leaned back in her seat, not expanding any more on that statement as she waited for her own food to arrive as she engaged in more conversation. "So, where exactly are you two from, then?" She asked, glancing over to Charlotte, not seeming intent on leaving just yet.

"...north." Charlotte replied hesitantly. Might as well talk a bit, see if she could figure out what exactly this girl wanted. "Far to the north, for myself." That was all she felt like giving her, though.

---

"Aha, K-katherine..." Marise finally pulled her hand away from Katherine, shaking her head with a small pout, puffing out her cheeks a bit. "You are a fiendish little thing, you know?" She teased back, her face still a shade of red. "Tsk, making me think such things." Still unable to entirely meet Katherine's gaze, she leaned back in her chair, glancing to the side for a few seconds before replying further. "You should only say such things towards someone you are serious about, sister."

Avaline

---

Aha...whoopsie, seemed like she did a bad.

"O-oh, is that so?" Avaline chuckled nervously, following Luna over to the apple slices. She had never had an apple before, after all, she was mostly carnivorous by nature. Deer, sheep, and fish mostly. Right, focus Avaline. "W-well, obviously that dragon just needs to learn how grand this place is, haha!" Yes yes, so she would be the first dragon to grace this place with their presence. Still, though, what to exactly order...

She stared at the apple slice in front of her, contemplating its existence. She wanted to just take it in one bite, but Luna probably wouldn't like that.

Ah, hm...oh right.

She gently picked up the apple slice with her claws, holding it between two of them before bringing it to her mouth and shoving the whole thing in it without much care. The reaction was almost instant.

"Ah..." It was an explosion of flavor she had never tasted before. Was this the 'Sweet' Luna had described? It was absolutely delicious. She held her claws against the side of her face, posture visibly relaxing as if she was experiencing the most pleasurable thing in the world as she forgot to actually eat the food in her mouth.

Khira

---

"Heh...simple minded, Alpha." he said teasingly. "It will be amusing to see you regain your senses as the Bunny wants." Khira said, walking over to the couch in the middle of the room, laying her entire body over it and stretching lazily over it, her somewhat larger body not causing her legs to rest on the arms of it and her head firmly in the pillows. "Meat is good, yes it is the only thing I've eaten in awhile." She stretched again, yawning in a somewhat lazy manner.

"Does my Alpha have anything she requires?"

Livia

---

"Aha, don't worry." Livia replied to Miren. "If that is all it is, that should not be too difficult for either myself or Aetheria to handle."

"Oh good." Miren sighed in relief. Of course, in theory it shouldn't be difficult but in actual practice things were always more difficult than that. "W-when do you think you could do it, then?" She gave Livia a hopeful look.

"Hmm." The headmistress placed a hand on her chin, thinking for a few seconds. "Since you've just returned, a day or so of rest should be fine. Bring her to the medical wing of the campus tomorrow or the next day if she feels like it. I'll make sure everything is arranged-oh?" Livia looked towards the door to the office, where someone she didn't recognize had just walked into the room. A foreigner from the looks of it, and not exactly a wealthy one or one who was from around here. Curious.

"Don't be shy dear, come in." Livia said, giving a nod to Miren. "Thank you for the information, Miren. Go rest with Eith for the day. You've both earned it, I think." She chuckled.

"R-right. Thank you, Livia. Have a pleasant evening." With a wave and a turn, Miren hopped out of the room, giving the new girl a friendly smile before continuing on out of the building and back to her store.

Chione

---

Hm. So far she hadn't made much progress. Well, it was good to get visual confirmation on the phoenix, but there wasn't much she could do to be alone with her. Tsk, how troublesome. That Livia woman was quite watchful. It was easy enough for one such as her to see the little network of spirits she had watching over most of the campus and even some of this pleasant little town. Hm, oh well. She'd bide her time for a bit. Perhaps ask advice from her father. Meanwhile, it would be a good idea to learn more of this world she found herself in. She was sorely out of place.

And perhaps she could start with someone who was supposedly close to the headmistress.

"Hello!" Chione approached Katherine calmly, her long white dress not doing much to keep one warm in the colder months. After all, it wasn't exactly built for cold weather being original from the deserts. "I believe we passed by each other on the way out of the headmistress office a few moments ago." She gave Katherine a friendly smile. "Chione Kebechet...and well, if you couldn't tell, I'm a little out of place." She chuckled lightly. "Erm, perhaps you could show me around a bit? I find myself a bit out of currency and not much in the way of lodging, either."

Celine & Marie

---

Celine played with the doll a bit, giving it a few firm shakes before bringing it to her face and poking it a few times. They always freaked her out. Ugh, they smelled foul even. Still...she was irritated by Marie's presence. Maybe she could have a little fun with this? She turned to Kozue, thinking for a moment. Well, perhaps it could be a good test as to how strong this divine spirit was becoming? Hmm. Yes, that might be good.

"...Hm. Kozue. How about we crash Marie's little party?" Celine asked. "Her voice is ruining my lake and I think perhaps it would be a good idea to see how far along the spirits recovery is."

Lyssa

---

"Wah!" At the knock at her door, there was the sound of something crashing and falling that sounded heavy enough to be human-sized. "Hooold ooon!~" There was the sound of something being moved before footsteps came over to the door, finally opening it and revealing the modestly dressed, pink-haired demon inside.

"...ah!" Lyssa greeted Fia with a bright grin. "Fia! Helllooo. What can I do for ya? I was just making a trap for Ayumi. She got me good last time with those ropes but I shall not be outdone!~" She giggled brightly, holding her hands behind her back confidently. "You wanna help with the trap or just here for talking?"

Legacy of Harena

"I-Improper!" Marise's face was a shade of bright red now, unable to meet Katherine's gaze directly. "K-kathrine cease such words that is...that is..." She fumbled over her words at the thought of what Katherine was suggesting. Ah, Livia why did you leave her alone with Katherine? Marise frowned, doing her best to handle her younger sister. "F-first of all, we're both girls so that wouldn't even be possible! Secondly...y-you're causing quite a bit of a scene and I would appreciate it if you stopped." Despite her words though, Marise hadn't attempted to pull her hand away from Katherine yet. She wasn't entirely sure how else to respond here. She could never tell when Katherine was being serious, unlike with Livia. Livia was always serious...well, most of the time. She was at least honest and blunt...unlike Katherine.

Livia, for the most part inwardly giggled at Marise's predicament. It was much funnier to watch than intervene anyways. Besides, she was much more interesting in...whatever this girl was in front of her.

"No need to be so suspicious." Livia replied, her playful smirk not fading. "Can't I have a friendly conversation with a traveler?" She leaned on the table, resting her arm on it. "Or are your people just naturally rude? Such a shame, if so, but I suppose non-humans aren't known for their hospitality." She casually dropped that without seeming a care, just to see her reaction. She didn't know for sure, of course, but she had an inkling this girl was more than what she seemed to be. "Or am I wrong, hm?"

Legacy of Harena

"...no quite not." Charlotte replied. Ugh, getting involved with these sisters had bad idea written all over it. She had no idea what they were doing, but it was obvious they were doing something odd that she had no true knowledge of. "Hm, maybe a salad then with some of that waterfoul." She wanted the snake to see how it'd taste, but she didn't want Himeko to potentially eat something she didn't like. Hm. Perhaps a salad of some sort would be good.

"Tsk," Marise was still blushing and she certainly wasn't 100% comfortable with this whole flirting thing Katherine was doing, but she was used to it after all these years of growing up with it. "S-stop it, you. Mother would kill us at the very thought of it." Technically, they werne't even related, with Katherine being adopted shortly after Livia was born. "It wasn't me who did it anyways, haha..."

"Aha, very well I'll have them bring it out shortly." Gerald left for a moment, heading into the Kitchen for a few moments to deliver the orders.

"Well, my dear sisters. While you continue undressing each other with your eyes and think about committing every sin known to the spirits...I have interest in someone else." Livia stood from her table, giving a playful smirk towards the both of them before walking over to Himeko and Charlotte, and without even asking for permission grabbed an extra seat from a nearby table and scooted up towards Himeko.

"You're not something we see every day around here." She gave Himeko and Charlotte both a friendly, though playful smirk.

Legacy of Harena

"Hm..." Charlotte looked over the menu for a few silent seconds, her gaze intently scanning the front of it. She then turned it over, only to be met with a similar menu, though it seemed this one might have been specialties served at evening? It looked more expensive, too. Still, one thing was certain. She breathed, nodding quietly as she laid the menu on the table.

She had no idea what the fluck any of these things were. The bad part about Astril, was that it was frigid, cold, and isolated, and didn't have much variety in the wildlife. Snowhawks, large ice bears, and some domesticated animals kept inside the tower on the lower levels for cattle. She of course, was aware of other animals through reading and studies, but she had never eaten them before.

"Hm. Seems they have...fairly normal things as far as food goes." She rested her cheek on her hand. "Hmm...they...snake? huh, even waterfoul of some sort." Charlotte was curious. Snake? She had no doubt it could be prepared in a good way, but she didn't think there was a whole lot of meat on a serpent for a meal...but well, she was curious.

"If there's something you're feeling I can see if they have it. I don't see a lot of fish, though." She replied, attempting to ignore the other girls near them.

Livia simply rolled her eyes in a somewhat tired fashion, not particularly caring about what Katherine saw. Besides, if she wanted to play hardball, she could play hardball. Especially since she was objectively, the better mage here. Her spirits, unlike Katherines, were not limited to the physical plane. while binding them like that had its advantages, letting them remain incorporeal had much more. Particularly strong ones could still interact well enough in the physical realm.

"B-bwuh? K-katherine?!" Marise stuttered out, blushing at her younger sister. "Aha, y-you shouldn't say those things to your older sister...haha..." Before Katherine and Marise could say anything else though, Katherine would feel something pull on her dress, flipping the long cloth upwards until the end of it rested on her head both obscuring her vision and giving pretty much everyone else in the restaurant a rather good view of her...well, admittedly unimpressive undergarments.

"...heh. At least I'm not a child." Livia smirked confidently, felling quite pleased with herself. The spirit that had performed the deed hovered beside her, though most probably wouldn't be able to see her. Just a tiny wisp of light, to most.

"...aha, as lively as ever I see. Will you ladies be having the usual?"
