Ritsa simply grinned as Fia jumped at her. On one hand, there was a desk behind her and she could totally avoid this. On the other hand, Fia was friend and she'd hit the desk pretty hard with her pretty red hair. That was bad. It'd make her feel bad! So there was only one obvious solution. She could easily get out of it, but she'd not. Instead, she'd hug the redhead again! As soon as Fia was within hugging distance, the redhead would find herself once again, being hugged.
Ritsa wrapped her arms around around Fia's body, pulling her into a tight hug.
"Hehe, was caught!~" Ritsa said with a grin.
"Hug reward!"One of the foxes ears twitched in annoyance. If this was her old self...with her old masters she'd have already blasted this fool of a hound into non-existence.
"Ho? They're dead...you must be both a terrible Alpha and person. You should have died with them to stop yourself from being so pathetically weak." With a smug smirk and a shrug, the fox started to walk away. She wasn't going to stay her and breathe the same air as this foolish hound. She had to go and do something anyways, and Sel just said as long as she tried to do something to help her she'd be fine.
So help she would. Couldn't use her original plan though, since the hound was here to be a little snitch.
"As well as you should, human." Celine said with a huff.
"Spirits merely defend themselves from humanities cruelty. Not to mention we are simply much stronger than humans. Humans should follow along without questioning if they wish to live. Weak creatures." That was all the undine was going to say on the matter, however. She got out of the pool, heading over to where Ayumi had taken up resting.
"But I tire of this silly conversation. Enjoy the soak...and feel free to return until the spirit has recovered."
~Livia Fiore, After classes~
For the rest of the day, Ritsa didn't press Fia to play any more. Instead, the Hydra was content to simply sit around and fiddle with almost everything in the room. By the end of the day, she was getting a little bored, however. Mommy hadn't been around for a few hours, and she was told to stay here but she was getting both a tiny bit worried and lonely without the older girl here. Not that Fia wasn't bad company or anything, but she didn't like being away from Gwynn or Evanthe for long if she could help it.
"Oof." Livia sighed, stretching her back as she pushed the chair she was sitting in away from the desk.
"Well, I think that's it for today." As usual, meetings, paperwork, and just making sure everything was running smoothly consisted of most of her day. Lately it had been getting a bit more exhausting for her to do it. Not much she could do about it, though...instead, maybe she could do something with Ritsa and Fia? Gwynn hadn't returned yet and the Hydra was looking a tad bit bored.
"Why don't the four of us head home, then?" Livia said, standing up from her chair and walking over to where Fia was, giving her a pat on the head.
"Gwynn can find us later there when she gets back from whatever business she has.""A-ah! Y-yes! Ritsa will go with old hag lady." The hydra grinned up at Livia, who grimaced slightly.
"...I see you have the same manners as her, too."The fox had returned a few hours after leaving, a bag of fairly suspicious looking supplies in hand - likely stolen or at least she didn't pay for them. What was she doing with them? Well, Sel asked her to practice something that could help so help she would. She wouldn't degrade herself by playing servant though - not again. So instead she did something else. To the outsider, it would look like she was simply practicing some fancy drawing. She had gotten the idea earlier from her previous little shenanigans.
Protective charms. Sort of.
Certainly she wrote a number of them that had some power from her homeland that -could- aid one having protection from spirits and whatnot. There were also a number of curses and bad stuff for the user, heh. For giggles. Sel likely wouldn't be able to tell which one was which if she used one. She had just finished making another when there was a hard knock at the door.
Oh? Who could that be. It smelled like...the human girl from last night.
Now this was entertaining. She got up and walked over to the door, opening it.
"Now you are not who I was expecting." The fox mused as she observed Gwynn.
"You're...the, uh, fox from last night." Gwynn said, eyeing the fox suspiciously after a few seconds of initial surprise.
"And you're...in Swens room.""Oh how very observant. You might be able to find an elephant in an open field with that level of skill. Congratulations." Gwynn's eyes immediately narrowed at the fox.
"Sorry? Did I hurt your delicate feelings? I'm not playing nice with you right now. Swen and Master Sel are not here at the moment. Do cease fouling the air with your clearly alcohol-laden breath."Leave? Oh no, she wasn't leaving until she had some answers.
"Ha, you wish." Gwynn shoved the fox roughly aside, walking into the room.
"Not until I get some answers from Swen and this other probably fake person."The rest of Sorcha's day had gone relatively normal. She of course, said nothing to the kitten about what Luna had told her. Today was supposed to be fun for the both of them and a certain grouchy un-fun knight. She wasn't going to let something like that ruin it so easily. Besides, she had something she wanted to give the kitten. For now though, she just had to wait for Luna to get back from classes. Sorcha was dressed in her normal armor, and had spent most of the day simply relaxing. Today wasn't a bad day for her, but she didn't want to try and push herself with anything in case she did start feeling bad.
So for now she waited for Luna to return, having instructed Maoin to give the place a light cleaning while they waited.
