The Maids Guide to Demon Hunting

Katherine spent the entirety of the tour studying the demon subtly. Something she seemed to be better at than this Scale Demon they apparently have recruited. Well, that much was fine. It just meant it was easier to read her when she needed to do such. Katherine knew pretty much everything about this place. She had plenty of time to look around when one has plenty of dolls to walk around in your stead after all.

After some short time, the tour ended and they came to the dressing room where Viatrix would speak of the one who created the maid's outfits. "I've attempted to speak to her about getting perfect dresses for my dolls. It was a short conversation but I'll have to consider coffee the next time I attempt." The Firbolg smiled. "I didn't have much time to talk and she was busy anyway. And besides, coffee's not too bad if you add a bit of cream and sugar to it." A bit of sugar to Katherine was it accumulating on the bottom of the mug.

After that Mariarca entered and asked Eliz if her tour went well and if people were treating her well, Katherine answered. "Yes, I've even kept my hands to myself. You should be praising my self-restraint!" The Firbolg said, proud of herself for something that normal people would consider a matter of fact, as she placed her hands on her hips arrogantly.

"Now, now, Julene. No need to harsh with your words. I am pure of heart. Believe it or not. Pure in my faith, as it were. And all things require a small of rebirth should they wish to better themselves. Reborn as a better them, at the least." Akyasha mentioned, shrugging a small bit. "Your answer does matter, however. It's a test of personality, truthfully. And an exercise in self introspection." Akyasha smiled, though it seemed a bit more self-sure than the previous times she had done so.

"Consider for me, what makes a monster and what makes a man? In my time, I've seen humans turn into monsters but still be human in all but actions and be put down like a beast for it. And I've heard stories of 'monsters' doing more for a human society than they would have done for themselves and be praised." It was not a lie. After all, many of her allied vampires, "monsters" in their own rights, have in the past risen human societies for their own ends.

She paused for a moment, allowing Julene to think on it in silence for even the smallest bit of time. "What makes the divide between a monster and human? Is it a sense of community and belonging?" A shake of her head. "A moral sense of right and wrong?" Again, a shake. "Perhaps is it looks and ability alone? A more inhuman appearance makes one more of a monster?" A shrug this time.

"You may have no intentions to become a monster, but what if you needed the power?" Akyasha questioned. "Would you rather die if you could grasp at the power to let you continue existing? Those around you?" Akyasha looked interested in what Julene would answer. Though, she wasn't really sure what she was expecting.

"Well, it has been a busy day." Serrica replied, her questions answered in a rather unsatisfactory way. Still, it was best not to push too hard lest the girl panic once more. How odd, though. Of all things, she had never truly expected the heroine to be rather... Anxious. Not that she couldn't be played many ways but this was not the most expected of outcomes.

"Very well. I shall trust your words." Serrica mentioned before clearing her throat. "Now, as one who has witnessed the Crown Prince and Lady Meridan... Do you not think that she would make a marvelous Crown Princess?" The Duke's Daughter asked, pondering the thought aloud. "It would also benefit my future interests if the Prince were to find his partner sooner rather than lat-- That is, I think it would be an asset to this nation of ours. Stability is quite often the greatest asset any nation or business can find. Unless said business or nation thrives on war, I suppose." That much received a shrug from the businesswoman. "Though, having monarchs that despise me would be bad." Serrica added, noting how easily she bothered the two with her rather pointed unpersonability. "What are your thoughts?"

"Blessed Appearance?" Luna questioned blushing a small bit. "Wholly innocent?" Where did that even come from!? "I-I'm not sure what you even mean by that Elnith." Luna responded frantically pondering the intentions of even saying that. "It's not like I'm some innocent little flower or anything of the sort. I've seen my fair share of combat and cruelties on the battlefield." The Knightess answered, still unsure.

"That aside," Luna mentioned changing the subject, "How much long would it take us to reach the Giant's home?" She questioned the only person in the group that seemed to have been there. It's been quite a bit of travel so far so it never hurt to ask. It was about that time the little unseelie Fio brought started to start complaining about cursing them if she wasn't freed from the horse. "What a mouth that one has on her." Luna commented, "Never really thought I'd ever be traveling with a small unseelie in a bottle." The Lightsword mentioned before looking over to her maid to see how she was doing before turning back hoping to hear Elnith's answer.

Everything was over by now? How boring. Still, that demon girl was pretty cute, though she wondered why a random demon from the streets would be coming the the team of demon hunters. Well, perhaps she just hated demons a lot. Well, there was nothing to be gained from going away. She walked up to Viatrix and this Eliz girl with a smile. "Yes, some of us have other marbles lost. Hello Viatrix and... Eliz, was it? Katherine Lindall and your fellow maid." She extended a hand for a hand-shake, mostly to test how the demon would respond to it.

"Mind if I join you gals on the rest of your introduction? I've little else to do for the moment. Not until the lady of the house's timely lesson on etiquette." The Firbolg shrugged with a grin. "If you two don't mind, that is. Otherwise I'll probably head off to the workshop to finish up repairs on my dolls from that last encounter." Katherine seemed interested in the demon, her eyes obviously glancing over her quite a bit. "But I'd like us to know each other better."

"This flower is no simple flower to be squashed under the foot of some simple beastman in the forest. No. It is a manifestation of my devotion. In some places long lost to time and strife, this flower... The Lily, represents purity and innocence. Furthermore, it also symbolizes rebirth. The thing I consider every time I look at one." It was the natural course of things. Rebirth from once being a human to now being a bloodthirsty vampire. A change for the better, if nothing else. A cause to devote herself to despite her lack of knowledge of the past.

"As for that stew... Thank you for the offer but I don't find myself eating food much." Akyasha mentioned, looking towards the stew the blacksmith cooked. She can not even remember a time when she ate solid food for sustenance. Not since her transformation into a daughter of Ichor has she had a burning desire for food aside perhaps bloody steak. "Might I ask a question of you, Julene? Much like this Lily symbolizes, if you were reborn anew with new power, what would you do with it?"

"The queen bee of the entire place wants to discipline me personally? I should take that as a compliment. That said, you're quite the tyrant, aren't you?" Katherine said that fairly straightforward. "And personally, I think there are some other maids that probably require more strict discipline that little old me that does my combat duties effectively." The firbolg mentioned with a small smile. "I wouldn't mind if this Miss here disciplined me a small bit." She said, shooting a small wink Nynette's way before standing. "Anyway, tonight. Remedial training. I'll even bring snacks if you want." Katherine finished before walking toward the exit before she heard any objections to her swift exit. "I'll see you later Miss Livia!" She added swiftly before she disappeared.

After she exited and made her way to breathe some fresh air, one of her completely "healthy" dolls walked up to her with a small notebook. "Oh, hello there cutie. Are you here because of a progress update?" She asked taking the little notebook and looking. There was a little tally mark notation next to "Fixed" showing that most of her dolls were back to operational. "Good, good. We'll be done with repairs soon. I'm going to be busy for the night so please carry out as previously ordered. The tyrant is going to "teach me" how to be more eloquent or something of the sort."

With that she started to walk a small bit, thinking about what an annoying situation she was in solely because she slept in a bit. She had considered that all until soon enough she came upon an odd sight. A demon? Here? Well, no one had really seemed to be forcing her out. Had she heard about that? She could not remember. She had sort of locked herself up the last bit. She walked a bit closer until she noticed that instructor being surrounded by some others and let out a small laugh. What did that woman manage to do to have to be admonished by the nurse? The Firbolg couldn't help but giggle a small bit more. Still, she got a bit closer to take a look at the cute little demon girl. How curious.

"Well, I'm sure most of the people didn't intend for the current state of the world." Akyasha mentioned with a small smile. "Others perhaps. That aside, I find you quite friendly though perhaps not an upfront kind. After all, you let me in your home and let me rest." Her smile receded a small bit before she continued, "I would, however, prefer if you didn't call my situation 'convenient' I can assure you it's not. Though, it has led my existence since." The vampire's injuries had mostly recovered by now. Some small bits of pain and such but it wasn't half as bad as it had been.

"Well, I suppose you could say I've gained some rather 'convenient' gifts in that path. Companions, faith, strength. Purpose." She went silent for some short seconds before speaking up again. "Now, it's not much, but allow me to present my own gift to you, Julene." Akyasha said as she walked up to Julene. "Allow me to touch your person once more for but a few seconds." The vampire would lean in closer and ran her fingernail gently along the side of the blacksmith's head and through her hair. She would feel a gentle scratching before the Vampire removed her hand.

Soon, a small lily began to grow on the side of the blacksmith's head stopping at a small size big enough to be a pretty hair decoration. "A lily for you, my favorite flower. I hope you find them as beautiful as I do." With that done, Akyasha would step back giving the woman space.

I will respectfully state my withdrawl.

The Storm Cycle: Reclamation

Lunalel was, for the most part, uneasy all through the trip. Somehow, she had managed to get two beauties to ride on her horse with her. That in itself was fine. Neither of them were very heavy, one in particular especially so. No, the problem came with what they were doing. Fio, for her part, was somewhat understandable. She was not very fond of horses, it seemed, and was doing her best to not show. How obvious it was to Luna that the girl was, in fact, very cautious every second of the ride. As fidgety as she was. Still, as much as she had known Fio by now, it would be best not to mention it.

The other problem was behind her. Her maid, loyal follower and dear friend. With all those things combined, Luna never worried much about what she was doing even if she seemed to be doing very suspicious things. On the other hand... Sucaria was very much so like a predator eyeing its prey. It made Luna silently question exactly what she was planning. It was very obvious and very deliberate but Luna didn't want to say much. Not until they had stopped to break. It was not a problem for her or Sucaria to dismount though it seemed Fio would need help. Luna helped the short woman down though perhaps a small bit more handsy than intend.

After Fio had left Luna to tie up the horse, the Knightess asked her maid, "Just don't try to eat her or anything." Luna said, unsure of what was on the maid's mind before they took to camp for the night.

That was when Elnith questioned Luna's knowledge of Giants. "Probably not as much as someone with first hand knowledge of their city." Luna mentioned with a small smile. "Well, I'd have to agree with you. All the giants I've had the pleasure to meet with were quite pleasant. Though they like to keep to themselves plenty. I've seen a number of them between patrols and visiting Giant's Rest and of the one's I've invited to Castle Lightsword I've had only a couple accept. Though, it might also be on account of their size, I suppose. Still, the few that did have visit were quite the interesting folk." Luna did her best to not frown at the last part of Elnith's statement. It did the woman no good to feel bad for her at that.

"But yes, we do have giant's blood, as diluted as it may be by now. Still, it helps with the cold nights and puts me above the average man in physical strength. And that would be without training." Luna added with a smile. "Most importantly, it gives me quite a bit of an ability to drink a lot." Luna laughed a small bit at her own joke about drinking a small bit too much at times before looking over at Sucaria reaching into her pocket before looking back to Elnith. "Did I miss a bad interaction between the two of them? Sucaria has been eyeing Fio like a wolf."
