Botanist And Bards

The sword pointedly remained silent for several seconds - the blade didn't give off any 'feelings' to its wielder, so it was hard to tell if it was insulted, quiet, or simply contemplating how to respond. After half a minute, the sword finally managed a firm reply. "The person who wields me also tends to become a more proficient fighter - or should I say when I wield them." Valiant paused for a moment. "I cut through more than specters - a strong blow from me can dent the most well crafted blades and slice through armor."

Valiant waited for a moment. "I apologize if my abilities are not satisfactory."

Gracie raised an eyebrow as her mistress - and current lover - left the room they had been inhabiting. She could tell the girl was getting a bit anxious, and even though they were becoming more comfortable she needed some time alone. With that talking sword.

As Izzy found herself asking two sword its first question, there was a slight pause - perhaps the weapon didn't hear her, or was contemplating what it was going to say. "Princess ... I ... cut things. My magical essence even allows me to hit things that would normally be untouched by steel - spectres, ghosts, and the such. I can also glow slightly in the dark." As if that was an important feature, the sword proudly lit up slightly as if it were some sort of blue-burning candle.

Valiant's voice was a bit ... hesitant, perhaps? Maybe he wasn't saying everything?

Sel sighed as she looked over at Avaline's work, and even a few of Meowka's characters had flaws as well ... The mage simply tossed out Sly's inputs into her thoughts - whether the fox could hear her from the classroom or was simply somehow otherwise aware of what was going on didn't matter too much. And now that Kat had stopped with her ... commentary ... it was easier for the mage to focus on her two students.

This was going to be a long day - and thinking about the event tonight, it would be longer still. She needed to talk to Sly, and she also was going to have to meet her parents. The whole gender thing was enough - though they were already aware of that. She just was curious about how she was going to get Sly to try and behave, at least a little ...

Fia smiled, appreciating the banter between the two quietly as her legs went back and forth in front of her. 'Messy Hair' and 'Devours Everything' seemed to be getting along well, which was relaxing. And it was nice to have Ritsa around too - she'd been great for finding excuses not to do paperwork, and in spite of herself the phoenix had come to miss her.

For now, the girl's eyes simply drifted between the pair, obviously removing herself from the immediate interaction as she allowed them to learn about eachother. Perhaps they'd figure out something the three of them could do together?

"Ritsa ... here for party?" Livia had mentioned something about a get together for all of the nobles that were aligned with the headmistress. Did that mean Nitsa "Mommy" was here too?

Otille Kohler

Otille frowned a bit but smiled as the cow decided with her own very special brand of logic that it had not, in fact, been childish. The farmer decided to let the matter drop as she hugged the tall familiar in front of her - it was honestly slightly difficult given the size of Cocoa's chest.

Otille let go, backing away for a couple of steps before giving a slightly mischievous grin to the farm animal. "Well thanks, Cocoa. I guess I am super strong, hmmm? Maybe I should be the one worrying about you getting hurt ..." Maybe letting the matter drop would a bit boring, actually. "So, Cocoa, what do I get for winning?"

The thief would find themselves unable to open the door - the next day she'd spend time going through corridors, trying to open various doors when the guards weren't peeking. The first few locks she managed to sneak up to didn't budge to the key - but she did figure out more about the layout of the castle.

Straight ahead were the main entry areas and the main hall - located conveniently where the lord might be receiving guests - along with the kitchens and other amenities that would be necessary for such a thing to function. To the right was the area where the nobility seemed to stay, but the curious woman wouldn't get far - there was always an alert guard on duty there. Perhaps it would be worth sneaking past, but if the castle itself was any indication there probably wasn't much worth stealing. She'd hear Zarva's wonderful voice, though.

To the left was the area where the commoners employed in the castle stayed - barracks for the guards who worked in the castle, a few more guest rooms, and a small, damp room unworthy of human habitation. A small distance from a cell door it'd be easy to see racks of cots going from the short ceiling to the floor with only about a foot and a half of head space. Perhaps twenty slaves were crammed in the room, largely unmoving as they rested from the day's labor. She'd likely recognize the thirteen year old on a rack near the door sleeping with her face buried in her arms.

Eventually she'd find a nice looking, well maintained door down one of the subhallways in the center - the oak the door was based in was well made, if not opulent. Without any guards looking, she'd pull out the key.

Her hands would come up empty.

@Silver Carrot Yeah, No one posted for 8 days straight without any sort of warning. I'm going to call this dead - may try again in the future, perhaps with a little modification to the plot and such.

Thanks for those of you who posted consistently.

@Hero I think it died.

"K-kathrine!" Sel's cheeks flushed as the teasing continued. Nice but - teach her WHAT? Selvina didn't want to imagine what was going on over there, though she immediately became suspicious when she heard 'black fox' and quickly received a message from the same fox who was supposedly 'very busy'. It didn't take much to put two and two together, and the blushing girl scowled slightly as she eventually returned the confused glance the cat was giving her. "Yes, yes, very good. C-copy them again."

A quick look at Avaline's work revealed that while sloppy, the claw-quill technique could be effective. The mage let out a silent prayer as among the two of them only one of them made a slight mistake in the first part of the alphabet. "Avaline, your E is upside down." Gesturing to the paper she had written the letter on, Selvina gestured to it to make the obvious flaw rather apparent.

"Aside from that you've both done well. Why don't you do copy them down a few more times to make sure you understand them." Selvina let out a sigh, relaxing as she realized this is what her tutors had done to her when she was small and they needed a quick break.

Fia smiled - though cringed slightly for the container as it was mercilessly devoured - and eventually responded. "Fruit ... drink, of sorts. Lyssa bought it for me ..." Her voice as usual was quiet, but it would be audible to the two of them.

"... Lyssa is a ... friend ... I met here soon after I arrived ..." The girl looked over towards the hydra, unsure how to introduce her. "... and this is Ritsa, a hydra from Atlantis ..." Fia backed off from the pair a bit, a bit tired from having spoken so much in such a short time. They would probably be fine meeting up and talking for a bit - hopefully they wouldn't spend the entire time talking through her.

Otille Kohler

Otille was a little stunned as her cow playfully caused some property damage with a pounding of her leg into the floor. In that brief moment of hesitation, the farmer quickly found herself being lifted into the air. "C-Cocoa!?" Not only was she naked in the air, but she was about to be tossed some distance!

... until Cocoa fell down for some reason, sending them both splashing down in the water with Cocoa landing on a ledge for sitting in the water. Otille found herself on top, conveniently. The cow put up a token resistance, but it was rather obvious and apparent the farm animal wasn't really trying at all. Otille frowned slightly, some of the fun taken out of the game for her. "Cocoa - are you alright?" Maybe the cow wasn't enjoying their little game? If she was even somewhat trying - even given some effort to be careful - the familiar should have completely wrecked her.

Either way the human was a little disappointed the cow wasn't feeling it - she herself had been in a playful mood as well, and had hoped to have at least a little bit of playtime. Maybe she doubted how mature the cow was - sure she had made a mistake, but there was no way she could have known her little farmer wasn't in danger. "I-I'm sorry, that was a bit childish of me." She was a little surprised the cow hadn't tried at all to really resist.

Lana's light footsteps rewarded her - and soon enough a key was in her hand, the guard still asleep. It was hard to tell what exactly the key went to - it was reasonably well made and had a slightly bronze finish on it, meaning it was likely a decent piece of expense to create. More than that though, her thieves eyes would be able to tell it was specifically made in order to make any sort of traditional lock picking difficult.

Body issues? Selvina raised an eyebrow, a bit confused. Meowka wasn't unattractive, but what did the teacher refuse to do with her? The mage shrugged, curious but-

Her mouth dropped slightly and her face turned pink as she continued to read. H-huge butt!? F-fetishized? What did that mean!? Was the teacher looking at her butt!? "K-Kath-" The mage stopped herself from yelling at the doll as she realized she had students - the woman was obviously a little distracted as she suddenly acknowledged the circumference of her hips.

"A-anyways." Cough. "Um, Avaline and Meowka, why don't you guys umm try writing these letters." Selvina pulled out a couple sheets of papers and letting them do a bit more 'independent learning' while she tried to get what she was thinking under control.

... surely she was just overthinking what the doll had said?

Meowka looked at the letters and tried to start copying these first few letters on her own. It took a couple tries, but with a couple tries her natural dexterity helped her control the quill and produce something reasonable.

Demon lord? Fia felt that she should be worried, but she wasn't. The crimson haired girl just smiled, more impressed that the demon was actually some sort of princess. And a little convinced she was either being inane or pulling her leg. But Fia took another sip of her drink with a small smile and didn't protest or call the pink-haired girl out.

"Huh?" That was a familiar voice- IMPACT. Fia had to steady her arm to keep her drink up as her friend embraced her with a tight hug. And she still blushed a bit as she was called 'pretty' a couple of times.

Secret admirer?

"... not very secret ... I think ..." Fia gave Lyssa a small smile before returning her attention to the girl her own age. "... hi Ritsa ..." For a couple seconds the familiar wasn't sure what to do, but soon enough she held out her drink. "... want some ...?"

She hoped Ritsa would appreciate the sweet beverage.

Otille Kohler

Cocoa was obviously disappointed that she'd be here without her, but the cow would have to learn that her mage would have a life outside of taking care of the familiar. Especially when classes started. "I know you will be, Cocoa. You're a very good cow." Cocoa would feel a hand run through her hair. "If I need you, I've been told I can ... teleport you to me. Or something like that. So don't worry so much."

She let what she hang in the air a bit, letting Cocoa know she was being serious and wouldn't back down because she was being adorable. "Hey, Cocoa?" The farmer flung herself at the cow, tackling her towards the center of the bath with a smile on her face. "I beeeettttt I can tippp you." She'd never been one to do it herself, but she prepared herself to wrestle with the cow as she backed off a few steps.

Chances were with Cocoa's natural strength this would be over quickly, but it didn't mean she couldn't try at least. And besides, a tired familiar was a well-behaved familiar.

Botanist And Bards

Gracie nodded quietly - it'd be difficult to perhaps insert herself in any situation involving the princess, but it was entirely possible that they'd simply ignore her because she is a maid. She supposed that was one good part about her profession.

"Its good to know that you care, Valora. Though I don't think I'd be able to fight those guards off. Though maybe she'd be able to?" Gracie imagined Izzy swinging Valiant around like some sort of maniac. "I know she's had a little training, but even with that fancy sword of hers I'd prefer if someone else were to take in most of the fighting ..." She looked at Valora. "I hope everything goes alright for her in the ruins. And you all as well - she does care about you guys a bit, you know."

The guard headed towards the double doors, before stopping outside of it and taking a quick look around the area and letting out a large, loud yawn and stretching a bit before leaning against the double doors. A short close of his eyes wouldn't hurt ...

... soon enough, he was snoring.
