"We are to cooperate with a practitioner of that false ape faith?!" Serphia roared, the surprise having passed only to make way for the Captain's unbridled anger at the mere notion of cooperating with a light keeper! Staring down at Rithrynn with an absolutely baneful expression, as if Rithrynn had just brought the foulest of foul messages; the sentinel waved her arms in return as she desperately tried to come up with something else. "No, you have to listen. There's undead, creatures of the night and then there's... " Rithrynn babbled, taking a moment to think before throwing herself to her knees. " ... can we talk about this in private?" Serphia continued to glare down at her subject, the Captain's mood not having improved at all. Looking up at the roof for a moment, she eventually cast the room around her a glance. "Very well. Return to the festivities, sisters. I will deal with this matter personally." She stated to her sisters, all of whom were quick to turn their heads back around, less to return to their previous activites, and more just to make it clear that they had no intention of objecting the decree of their Captain. As she was on her knees, looking towards her Captain's feet, Rithrynn suddenly caught a glimpse of a smaller figure standing beneath a pillow not far from her. It was Shani, who was throwing her a wicked, gleeful smile while trying to suppress a chuckle. With a vein popping in her forehead beneath her deep blue hair, Rithrynn suddenly reached out an arm to grab the tiny elf; Shani barely managing to emit a peep before being encapsulated by Rithrynn's fist! Pulling her annoying sister back behind her back as she rose to her feet, she raised her head to meet her Captain's gaze just as Serphia's eyes returned to her. [i]"Goddess, this will require some diplomacy! ... crap, what will I do?! No, don't panic... think! What would Liaena or Sharon do?!"[/i] "Right, ehhh... " Rithrynn muttered as she stared back up at the highly unamused and stone cold expression on her Captain's face. "I... I know a room, just follow me!" Rithrynn explained as she began to sidestep out of the room, the towering Captain following in her footsteps. Leaving the living room behind, the noise and laughter from her sisters in it quickly returned as soon as the Captain and her ill mood had departed from the room. Not pausing, Rithrynn continued to lead Serphia through Sharon's mansion until they reached one of the smaller guest rooms that had still been left untouched by the ravaging partygoers in her warband. It was a small, rectangular room with a small extinguished fireplace, and a couple of extra chairs lined against the exquisite drapery and wooden framework of the surrounding walls. Hastily fleeting over to the walls, Rithrynn retrieved two chairs. One she placed directly opposite of her Captain, the other she placed behind Serphia. "Take a seat, and I'll get some refreshments! I know there's some chocolate around here." "I do not have time for games, Syn'Dial." Serphia replied in an irritated tone, as Rithrynn gave her a cheerful smile in return. "Don't worry, I'll be right back! As fast a cheetah!" Rithrynn quickly explained, secretly slipping a rather disheveled Shani onto the seat of the chair behind Serphia before the sentinel raced out the door to plunder Miss Colin's kitchen! Looking outright offended as much as confused, Serphia had opened her mouth to speak - but Rithrynn had already departed the room before she could utter another command. Letting out an annoyed 'hmmph!', she crossed her arms as she looked across the room. In the meantime, behind her on the seat of the chair, Shani was slowly returning to her senses, having previously been churned by Rithrynn's crushing fist! "Elune... I will get you, Rithrynn... uuggh, that's the... uh.. " Shani muttered, but suddenly frooze when she looked up to see the wide backside of her oblivious Captain looming over her. "She better not be late." Serphia spoke as she gazed towards the half open door that Rithrynn had disappeared like a bullet through. Letting out a sigh, she let her shoulders fall before extending her butt back, preparing to sit. "Wait, no... MISTRESS!" Was Shani's immediate reaction upon seeing her Captain's big, purple butt descend towards her, the tiny elf staggering onto her feet in an attempt to flee, but was too slow. Raising a brow at the tiny voice that she suddenly heard, Serphia looked confused around her. "Shani?" She asked, before slumping down into the chair with her butt, and the tiny Shani disappeared beneath her! As she landed, the undersized human chair creaked and churned, and Serphia opened her mouth in surprise as she felt the tiny sentinel as she was shoved up into her rear! Simply sitting completely still for a moment, Serphia looked down at her lap, before letting out a soft chuckle. "So that's where you were!" Serphia suddenly announced, a cunning smile now appearing on her face. "I remember what I promised you. I have to admit, it was a good hiding place. At least Rithrynn is good for something." Serphia spoke in a gleeful tone, the big Night Elf now leaning back in the chair while slowly wriggling her butt from side to side as she gained a more comfortable position. But that minor movement was all it would take to break the camel's back... "Ahh, this isn't so bad after... *CRACK* *CRASH* Within the blink of an eye, the undersized human chair had given way under the Captain's rump, her weight alongside the added movement being too much for the undersized furniture to handle! With a crash, the seat, followed by Serphia's butt, slammed down in the wooden floor below. With yet another surprised look on her face, Serphia poked the seat under her, which at that point was the only remaining and still structurally intact piece of the chair. The sensation that now came from Shani, could only suggest that the tiny elf had gone any other way other than out during the little crash. "Keep that up, and you might impress me, sentinel Shani... " Serphia smirked with a playful voice as she placed her hands on her hips, a tone that was highly unsual of her cold and strict character. But the Captain's attention was suddenly drawn away as Rithrynn just entered the room, the Night Elf carrying a small silver tray of drinks, berries and some meals. Behind her, emanating from outside the room came a series of cuss-words, but they were blocked off as Rithrynn kicked the door shut and walked to the center of the room. "Here, I think... you will appreciate... uhm, are you alright?" Rithrynn suddenly stopped when she saw Serphia sitting on top of what remained of the crushed chair. Taking a moment to wash the surprise of her face, she simply kicked her own chair away before sitting down on the floor opposite of her, planting the tray between them. "So, I got some Moonberry wine, some roasted vulture, and even managed to acquire some chocolate! ... all yours, if you want."
