Iravis was actually a surprised that Lyssa didn't try to adopt her on the spot. In fact, the demon didn't even say or ask anything about familiars while introducing herself to Sir Wick.
Maybe having an authority figure around keeps her from acting too friendly? The previous conversation suggested that wasn't the complete truth, however. And based on the hellion's deduction that she was a Pyromancer, the demon certainly would have noticed.
Sir Wick the demon invited the demon to his class. Based on the previous conversation about powers, it was obvious that the girl had some potential, but Iravis was curious about how any mortal could waste their precious lifetime handling someone so ... Annoying? Bubbly? Overly cheerful?
I'll ask Sir Wick to share his wisdom later. After confirming Iravis' thoughts and a few sarcastic words, the teacher disappeared via a blinding flash.
The Phoenix and Demon were alone again, and Iravis lowered herself into the chair that Sir Wick left out.
"I've been informed that an alchemist can't learn destructive magic, but Sir Wick is impressively knowledgeable in his fields despite his casual nature."
"Hehe, I'll take that silence as a yes." She grinned slyly, though she didn't say much else about it. She wasn't going to go prying after all and she had gotten the information she wanted.
"Yep yep, see ya." She cheerily said to the teacher as he left. Some sort of teleportation magic, then! Well, now that was fun. She wished she could teleport - though flying was much more fun, she supposed. She couldn't exactly do it very well, or very high but it was still fun. Her two bat like wings flapped at her side unconsciously. Maybe she should go out at give them a stretch after this? Maybe go back to those cherry trees and ditch class?
"Hehe, it's true." Lyssa continued.
"Alchimia and Contritio are complete opposites of each other, though people who don't know my magic often mistake it for Contritio. It's kinda funny to watch them freak out when they find out it's not." She grinned.
"Not that I would want too anyways. I'd much rather learn something in the Praestigiae magics. I wonder if there's a teacher around there who wouldn't mind teaching me?" She mused aloud with a thoughtful hum, before shaking her head.
"Not that it matters I guess! I still need to focus on Alchemy anyways." She fell down on the bed, landing on it with a dull thump.
"Still not all that great at using it." She sighed, somewhat bored.
"I can memorize all the elements and chemicals known to man, but I'm still not all that good with it. Ahhh!" she began rolling back and forth on the bed in quite a childish manner.
"Why couldn't I be born being super awesome at magic and super adorable. I dun wanna go to class and do boring normal people stuff!"
Iravis rolled her eyes to the heavens as Lyssa proceeded with a tantrum.
My roommate possesses the maturity of a three year old. It was going to take getting used to.
Still, at least she's not attacking me right now. The goddess chose to deliver some wisdom onto Lyssa.
"With adequate dedication, time and practice will allow you to reach both of those goals." Iravis gave the demon her clever grin.
Lyssa stopped her rolling, and sat up as she gave Iravis somewhat hurt look. Woooow. Okay, someone was feeling rude. Maybe she wasn't the
most adorable thing on the planet, but she liked to think she was up there.
"Wow, that hurts," She fake pouted, giving her a wide eyed stared and poking her lip out just slightly. She didn't really have much else to say other than that. As far as being able to insult someone, or make a clever jab at them, Lyssa was not so skilled. Mostly because she didn't want to be. That, and she didn't really take Iravis' words that seriously.
"But I am most certainly adorable!" She refuted, pout immediately leaving as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Ask anyone! They'd agree! I bet Mr. Wick would even agree that I am 100% grade-A adorable!"
The Phoenix's grin remained, growing slightly wider at the girl's response.
"Confidence in the ability to make men with twice the years look your way is truly admirable." A mischievous glint ran through Iravis' eyes after the comment, wondering if the innocent girl would catch on.
The Goddess was slightly concerned that perhaps she was being a little too cruel to one Mr. Wick appeared to favor, and maybe the demon's pouting had a little honesty behind it. While Iravis had no intention of being best friends, they would be living together. Maybe she could let up just a little and spread out the damage over time.
Suddenly Iravis remembered a bit of their earlier conversation. While the Phoenix had been too busy looking to make fun of the Lyssa, the demon had listed a few things the goddess had never heard of. Questions always seemed to cheer the hellion up, so it wouldn't be terrible to ask one.
The Phoenix adjusted her grin to a more honest smile.
"You mentioned eating 'sweets' previously. I've experienced the flavor, but could you enlighten me to what 'sweets' are on the way to class?" And to be honest with herself, the goddess was feeling hungry. As if on que, a small growl erupted from Ustrina's stomach, leading to the goddesses cheeks flushing with fire.
Well that's embarrassing, but hopefully it gets the point across.
"Confidence in the ability to make men with twice the years look your way is truly admirable.""Hehehe," She shyly laughed, cheeks flushing just a bit, idly twirling her tail in a hand while.
"Weeeel, I've had guys a few years older than me hit on me, but I've turned them down. Mostly because my dad would kill me. Or them. Possibly both." She giggled, not seeming too upset about it.
"Buuut I'm 16 now! And he's not here, so I might try, just for fun."She let go of her tail, that was about all she could say on the subject. She didn't entirely get what Iravis' statement was implying, but she got the general gist of it at least, she thought. It was true, she had been hit on by older guys. Guys that were probably in their twenties, though no one twice her age. That line of thought was interrupted however, at Iravis' next statement. Crashed and burned into a ravine, as they say.
"HUUUUUUUUUH?!" Lyssa's eyes went wide as saucers, looking at Iravis' pure shock. It almost looked like she was having a failure to comprehend those words she had just uttered. It took her a few seconds to recover, leaping off of the bed and landing right in front of Iravis, placing both of her hands on the other girls shoulders, looking almost as if she had seen someone kick a puppy right in front of her.
"You have my sympathies." She suddenly said, wrapping her in another hug...right as the other girls stomach growled. The demon quickly pulled away, holding herself at arms length away from Iravis', still holding onto her shoudlers, giggling a little bit but otherwise said nothing.
"But, I will be more than happy to tell you about the deliciousness of sweets on the way to class! You have to let me treat you afterwards!"
Iravis felt the rush of panic again, but at least this time she was ready for it. The demon let go fast enough though that the Goddess didn't have the time to start smiting her roommate, but it was still uncomfortable.
I'll talk with her about it later. The bird of prey believed Lyssa would understand if she was asked directly not to touch her.
However, the thought of an offering made the goddess in Iravis smile.
"I humbly accept the gifts of both knowledge and food." The phoenix lifted herself off the bed, brushing off the hands on her shoulders as she walked towards the door, looking back to make sure that Lyssa was following. After all, the Goddess needed to expand her knowledge.
