[06:44] "..."

A girl slowly approaches the so called Fire of Aphros. A simple query, it would seemed. Asked by a simple expression of a note with words written upon it's page. Her voice would not utter a word, as her general question is shown to the duo on the bench. Her head tilts upwards, trying to make eye contact with their height.

'Do you know where I can find Peredegrine?' the note asks, alongside a detailed drawing of the reagent right below. She tilts her head in anticipation, eyes blinking in an innocent manner.
(Maria Malibu)


[06:44] Cassia M. Silvanas exclaims, "Im either, going to make one that will fit a person inside and be controlled from the inside! or make remote controlled drone units!"
[06:47] Lounging back in the bench a bit, gently running a clawed hand through his hair as he spoke with Cassia. He seems like he's had a long day already. However as the girl approached he'd tilt his head causing his ears to flit to the side.

Taking a look at the note for a good long moment he inevitably shakes his head in response.

"Sorry I've never been much for gathering things so I have no idea...Also if you ever wish to speak simply think the words you'd like to say and I will hear...I assume you're like Arkaan."
(Ansel)


[06:49] H.I.M.E says, "Ansel of Gloomlight."
[06:49] H.I.M.E asks, "Why are you here?"
[06:50] Ansel says, "We aren't banned are we? I have to ask Mads and Kinsley something."
[06:51] H.I.M.E says, "You are not. Your presence here is still ill advised, however. There is a bounty on your head."
[06:51] Ansel says, "There shouldn't be, those bounties got wiped."
[06:52] Cassia M. Silvanas asks, "Ansel! Are you a CRIMINAL?"
[06:52] Ansel says, "No, nothing like that."
[06:52] Cassia M. Silvanas exclaims, "Time to follow the lead of my elders, and become a CRIMELORD!"
[06:52] Ansel says, "...Don't do that."
[06:52] H.I.M.E says, "My databases are up to date. 15 000 for a Knight of Gloomlight, dead or alive."
[06:52] Milos Prithvi says, "Ah..."
[06:52] Milos Prithvi says, "Terrifying announcements."
[06:52] Setanta Tathagata asks, "Is anyone an alchemist?"
[06:52] Ansel says, "I'm pretty sure those got cleared when the war got called off."
[06:52] Ansel says, "Besides I'm a Captain."
[06:53] H.I.M.E says, "These are not our bounties."
[06:53] The girl simply nods. As it was, it seemed she was showing her note around to all of those who would be able to answer. Her gait seemed...anxious. A flutter of expressions across her features. Perhaps she did not get out much?

'Like Arkaan?' the girl thought to herself. She did not know who that was, as was clear from the confusion on her features. Alas, another nod, as she turns her attention elsewhere.

Perhaps this one knew telepathy?

Attention turns to another. A peer, perhaps. Someone much closer in age to the aspiring artificer. She approaches, delivering the same note toward the white-haired girl mere feet away. The same note is addressed to her, with of course, the same words.

Do you know where I can find Peredegrine?'

(Maria Malibu)

[06:53] Milos Prithvi says, "Ah! Barri."
[06:53] Milos Prithvi asks, "Would you like to fight?"
[06:53] Barri Vrisha says, "Huh? Oh, sure."
[06:53] Milos Prithvi exclaims, "I require more tests of skill!"
[06:54] H.I.M.E says, "If you are not worried for your own safety, feel free to stay."
[06:54] Ansel says, "I assure you, I am not a suitable target and that bounty was as a result of Orianne attacking me."
[06:54] H.I.M.E says, "I can assist you in whatever you need. I am a personal assistant of the two you seek."
[06:55] Ansel says, "Well, the issue is I don't know if they know what I've come to ask about."
[06:55] Ansel says, "But, I can ask you."
[06:56] H.I.M.E says, "I possess most of the knowledge they do. Feel free to ask."
[06:56] Ansel says, "I've come into some information regarding the where-a-bouts of Yukis sword. Seeing as how it's a paper weight to anyone else I'd like to ask for it back, with a promise to pay them over time."
[06:57] Ansel says, "The auctions drained me of all of my funds, so I'd have to work with my family about such."
[06:57] H.I.M.E asks, "The Fumetsu-no-Nokoribi?"
[06:57] Ansel says, "Yes, that's the one."
[06:57] H.I.M.E says, "You are in luck."
[06:57] H.I.M.E says, "The blade happens to be in my own possession."
[06:57] Ansel says, "Really? What are the odds of that."
[06:57] H.I.M.E says, "I secured it as a sign of good will. It costed me 400 000."
[06:57] H.I.M.E says, "You can have it back for.. let's say, 500 000."
[06:57] Ansel says, "Can I promise to pay it? I am good on my debts."
[06:57] Ansel says, "I will even pay the upcharge."
[06:58] Cassia M. Silvanas exclaims, "Hi!"
[06:58] H.I.M.E says, "Sign an official contract with Madavayanna or Kingsley then, and we can make it happen."
[06:58] Maria Malibu exclaims, "!!!"
[06:58] Ansel says, "Can I not sign with you? Alright alright, I'll do it."
[06:59] Beams happily, waving at the fellow young person, lightning gently arcing around her in staccato bursts as she gets more excited!

"Who are you?! IM Cassia!"
(Cassia M. Silvanas)


[07:00] H.I.M.E says, "Under normal circumstances we could, but due to the political tension between Midpoint and Gloomlight, it is better if one of them oversees the transaction."
[07:00] Ansel says, "Even were we to suddenly break into more tension my word is my bond. As well a contract."
[07:01] Cassia M. Silvanas exclaims, "Oh!"
[07:01] H.I.M.E says, "I lack the emotions necessary to be a judge on matters such as honor."
[07:02] Ansel says, "Ah, I assume you're from the Frontier then? Never really gotten to talk with one such as you before, I think."
[07:03] H.I.M.E says, "I am the first synthetic of Midpoint. H.I.M.E, but you can call me Hime for short."
[07:03] Ansel says, "A pleasure to meet you, Hime. As you seem to know I am the Astra Captain of Gloomlight."
[07:04] H.I.M.E says, "Affirmative."
[07:04] Kinsley Kingsley asks, "What's he doin' here?"
[07:04] Maple exclaims, "Hallo!"
[07:04] Kinsley Kingsley says, "Hey-hey, Maple."
[07:04] H.I.M.E says, "He is here to buy the blade I brought in yesterday."
[07:04] H.I.M.E says, "Hello."
[07:04] Kinsley Kingsley exclaims, "Ah!"
[07:05] Kinsley Kingsley asks, "How much?"
[07:05] H.I.M.E says, "We agreed on 500 000."
[07:05] Kinsley Kingsley exclaims, "Deal!"
[07:05] Ansel says, "I can't pay it up front, but I'd like to sign a contract to pay it off."
[07:05] The girl is startled! Taken aback by the boisterous nature of her peer. It was true, that it was easier to talk to her peers, at least. Compared to adults, did she find herself easier to express herself and her emotions.

Without speech, however, it was a still a challenge to get things through.

The girl flutters her lashes at the other, smiling softly at her introduction. She bows lightly, sketching the words 'Maria' upon the pages of her notebook and pointing to herself.

She expresses her note upon the pages once again. Pointing her pencil at the words, Cassia would read her query.

'Do you know where I can find Perdegrine?' it says, Maria now tilting her head curiously at the young girl, as her presence catches her eye more than the question. She was unique looking. Was she a Drakanite? A Faeborne? Something else? Maria wondered?

A quizzical, yet curious look is offered to the girl, canary hues darting toward those brightened wings and horns in particular. The teenager gazes at them in awe, blinking curiously at it's glowing nature. Her ears too, different from other Drakanites.

She continues to gaze at her in awe, before eventually snapping back to reality. Maria gestures toward the bench, tilting her head. Perhaps asking if she can sit?
(Maria Malibu)


[07:05] Kinsley Kingsley asks, "A contract, huh?"
[07:06] Ansel says, "Yes, consider it a show of good faith. While I understand you dislike me surely you know I have caused no intentional problems here."
[07:08] The Kingsley procures a parchment from his garbs and an ink pen in the other. He'd scribe and put together details, glancing upwards only to ask questions as he'd imprint their replies.

"I believe most of ya' Gloomlighters are just filthy liars, but, business is business. I will take your word here 'n see how valuable it is.

Do y'have a time-frame of when ya' can pay this off?"
(Kinsley Kingsley)


[07:09] Cassia M. Silvanas says, "Dang my Dad and uncle hate Gloomlighters too, what did they do? they were all super nice to me."
[07:10] Cassia beams, nodding as she reads the words, she was... energy incarnate, never stopping moving, might have something to do with ehbr magic or perhaps she was just energetic! She leans down and reads for a moment.

"Oh! That's a pretty name! Hi Maria!"

Her green eyes flick back and forth, little shocks of lightning running through them. Keeping her mind steady however, she tilts her head as the girl points, unsure of the question then nods anyway! She had no reason to be suspicious after all!

"Oh, im unsure, I just finished my artificing studies and am just starting my alchemical ones.... so im a bit new to finding resources myself..."

A pout sprouts on her normally cheer face for all of a brief second before the beaming iridescent smile is back and little pops of flame erupt around her in excitement

"You can always go shopping! It's a great way to find stuff and if your lucky someone is selling CAKE OR PIE!"
(Cassia M. Silvanas)


[07:12] Still lounging in the bench a bit, watch as the man procured the writing materials and paper. A soft sigh escaping his lips that he was basically selling off his soul for this.

"I have connections, I can probably do it...I want to say a few years. I had spent all of my crowns bidding for Yuki and her Amulet back I'm sure you understand...

As for your statement on liars, I understand your feelings regarding this. But do recall I came to you personally in an attempt to handle the situation, however other things lead to a war.

Even still, after such was declared I tried to put an end to it, before being attacked by Orianne outside of here. Rest assured I have Meranthes best interests in mind."

As he said that he'd lean forward with a bit of a hunch, mentally prepared for what he has to do.
(Ansel)


[07:21] Compared to the bubble of energy that was Cassia, Maria was a rather reserved girl. If she had a voice, no doubt she'd be soft spoken. Still, did she mimic this softness and timidness with her expressions and actions. She remained bashful, blushing lightly at the mention of her name.

She bows lightly, opting to take a seat next to the girl. If Maria could speak, she'd wish to express her own passion for alchemy and the arts. She was in the reverse situation, it would seem. Having finished her alchemical studies and now moving on to her artificing ones. For that, however...would she need a replenishment potion. And...perdegrine.

Maria smiles to the sprightly actions of the child. Lightning flickering between her eyes and fingertips, an electrified girl that was by all accounts, filled to the brim with such magics. A far cry from herself. Maria was just a girl with a pistol, really. And a knowledge for physics...

There is a tilt of her head, Maria's hues marked with curiousity as the girl spoke. She writes swiftly, presenting the words to Cassia once finished. 'I can help you, if you want.' they read, a smile clear on Maria's features.

'I am a budding artificer and alchemist. Maybe we can work together?' she asks her newfound friend, tilting her head toward the bubbly girl.

"!!!"

Maria jumps back a little at the flame! She smiles, even offering a silent giggle and turning her features away from the girl. Her eyes dart, flicking about that mind of hers as Cassia continues her bubbly demeanor.

"???" Another tilt of her head? It were as if she was asking Cake? What kind?' mere features and expressions hopefully being enough for Cassia to discover that sparked curiosity.

Speaking to people was...difficult. Frightening. Especially to one whocouldn't speak.

And yet Cassia did not treat her differently.

She smiles, seeming comforted by the fact.
(Maria Malibu)


[07:23] Xiao Amamiya says, "Hmm... Not sure if this is a good time to ask if people want to do a dungeon or not-"
[07:23] Sinka exclaims, "I do!"
[07:23] Cassia M. Silvanas asks, "Dungeoun?"
[07:23] Cassia M. Silvanas says, "I would be in if allowed."
[07:24] H.I.M.E says, "Affirmative."
[07:24] Xiao Amamiya says, "Yes, yes- whoever would like to."
[07:25] Ansel says, "Ah- before you go, if I sign I may need you Hime."
[07:25] Ansel says, "For, the obvious."
[07:25] H.I.M.E says, "Affirmative."
[07:25] "You did come to me. Then I told ya' how to deal with it. Then your reckless Oracle decided to try to strike and claim this place for themselves without even contactin' us . .

. . Only to realize how stupid of an idea it was," he'd tell, narrowing his sights. They'd still look rather goofy behind those oddly shaped spectacles, however.

"That's 'ole business tho'. Right now, your people are the least 'o my worries. Let's keep it that way. I heard 'bout your wife 'n her shit. I understand it's been costly, so I'll cut ya' some slack."

His pen stops moving. The contract's offered for Ansel to read, containing the prerequisites, terms, and consequences for breaking said terms, most of which is spoken by the Lapine:

"I'll give y'the blade now for at least ten thousand, 'n y'got 'bout two years to pay it all back. That's more than enough time to put together the five-hundred thousand in all. I'd expect at least two-hundred 'n fifty by the end of each year, really. If that ain't done, then we're back to placin' hostilities on an all time high."

There's a line for him to sign. The Kingsley ascertains his features, noting his reaction.
(Kinsley Kingsley)


[07:26] Xiao Amamiya says, "..."
[07:26] Bethlehem Valmonte says, "Dumb bunny, they're not going to pay back, these Gloomlight people are scammers."
[07:26] Bethlehem Valmonte says, "All."
[07:26] Kinsley Kingsley says, "Shhh. Business, 'lil one."
[07:26] Ansel asks, "Ten thousand, I...Hm..I'd need to go borrow ten thousand from home before I sign, is that okay?"
[07:26] Kinsley Kingsley says, "Fine."
[07:26] Ansel says, "I will retreive it quickly."
[07:27] Barri Vrisha turns his head towards the conversation, raising a brow in response.
(Barri Vrisha)


[07:27] Bethlehem Valmonte says, "Hmmm."
[07:27] H.I.M.E leaves her signature with Kinsley.
(H.I.M.E)


[07:27] Xiao Amamiya asks, "Should I- assume I should look elsewhere?"
[07:27] H.I.M.E says, "For the contract."
[07:27] Kinsley Kingsley says, "Very well."
[07:27] Barri Vrisha asks, "He's promising to pay back five hundred thousand, but failed to come to the negotiation with even ten thousand?"
[07:28] Bethlehem Valmonte says, "I'm woozy, I must sit by my papa."
[07:28] Kinsley Kingsley says, "I'm assumin' he's broke considerin' he just paid for his wife."
[07:28] Milos Prithvi says, "Hm..."
[07:28] Xiao Amamiya asks, "Cassia- are you coming or no?"
[07:28] Milos Prithvi asks, "Victoria? What are your thoughts on matters of connection, to others?"
[07:29] Victoria A. Kasca asks, "What type of connection?"
[07:29] Beams happily, gently patting the area besides her, in her mind she would do enough talking for the both of them, and did not mind a mostly silent friend!

"Oh you are? My mom is an amazing artificer im sure she can help teach you! She's the best in all Meranthe!"

She bounces up and down smiling back as she slowly gets control of her magic and stops it from erupting right around her, her dress slightly singed from the exhalations of such magic.

A giggle then a mischievous grin.

"Cheeeesecake is the best, creamy and you can mix it with a hundred different flavors! SPicy, Sweet, tart, all are your playthings with cheesecake!"

A knowing nod as she is very wise in these things, not wise in most but cake and baking? absolutely.

a quick pull of a large stone tablet covered in runes, and she transforms her hand into a draconic claw, the most the young girl can do as of yet, her wings not really sprouting fully yet,at least no useable ones.

She begins to write on the tablet, and as she does so and fills a 'page' she flicks a small runic button on the side and the entire slate face reforms so she can keep writing in the odd runic script.

"Where do you live? So I can find you?"
(Cassia M. Silvanas)


[07:29] Xiao Amamiya says, "Because I reaaaaally don't want this dungeon to get taken."
[07:29] Milos Prithvi says, "I am unsure... I find it hard to distinguish between most, outside of familial..."
[07:29] Victoria A. Kasca asks, "Can I come?"
[07:29] Jona Hiraeth asks, "Why are you woozy, dear?"
[07:29] Victoria A. Kasca asks, "Mrs. Xiao?"
[07:30] Milos Prithvi asks, "Oh! If there is space, may I join as well?"
[07:30] Bethlehem Valmonte says, "I have created... a most beautiful painting. It is drying still... I will show you soon papa."
[07:30] Xiao Amamiya says, "Cassia, just enjoy your conversation, dear."
[07:30] Bethlehem Valmonte says, "Creation is most exhausting on the mind and on the body."
[07:30] Xiao Amamiya says, "Mm, we'll take you two."
[07:30] Victoria A. Kasca exclaims, "Yay!"
[07:31] Milos Prithvi exclaims, "Ah! How fortunate!"
[07:31] Cassia M. Silvanas exclaims, "Have fun Xiao!"
[07:31] Xiao Amamiya exclaims, "Mm, thank you!"
[07:31] Milos Prithvi says, "Thank you very much. My name is Milos Makora Prithvi."
[07:31] Milos Prithvi exclaims, "It is a pleasure to meet you!"
[07:31] Xiao Amamiya says, "Heard that. You can call me Xiao-"
[07:31] Xiao Amamiya says, "Now c'mon, I don't want it to be taken."
[07:32] Victoria A. Kasca says, "Invite us Mrs. Xiao."
[07:32] Xiao Amamiya says, "I am-"
[07:33] Without much wasted time the beastkin sprinted back towards Midpoint with a newly acquired jingle in his step. He was moving at a speed you'd think he may well go on all fours to accomplish. Stepping just in front of Kinsley once more he seemed quite exhausted from the run.

Without too much more hesitation than having acquired the crowns that was asked for up front he would read the terms of the contract thoughtfully. The terms were certainly harsh but for such a thing he wasn't left with too much choice now.

"The terms are agreeable, I will do my very best to earn this money when and how possible."

As he said this, he'd accept the quill and paper to sign the document, effectively selling his financial soul to a shark. Nothing can ever be easy.
(Ansel)


[07:34] Jona Hiraeth says, "I won't ask you about your process. But I will say that you should becareful with what you're doing. Too much can be disasterous. Too little can leave you empty. Find a balance."
[07:34] Jona Hiraeth says, "Also make your room already."
[07:34] Jona Hiraeth says, "Make papa proud."
[07:35] Bethlehem Valmonte says, "I am already making papa proud."
[07:35] Ansel forgot as well, as he pulled a bag of coins from his armor, offering it up as well. Seems the sprint had him being quite forgetful.
(Ansel)


[07:35] Bethlehem Valmonte says, "With my art."
[07:35] Jona Hiraeth says, "Do your room."
[07:36] Bethlehem Valmonte says, "Soon..."
[07:38] Cassia M. Silvanas says, "Imagine having a house."
[07:38] The sound of coin always brought joy. The crowns are accounted for in his records and then stowed away. There's a growing grin to that pale countenance. A soul to add to the list of debts that needed collecting.

He, too, signs the contract, and there's a space that Hime too had left for her signature - done before she had departed for her ventures.

"Then it is settled. Don't forget, Ansel. Stuff like this? I'll always remember."

He parts soon after, delving into the Midpoint's headquarters only to retrieve the item in question and set it before the red-headed beastkin.

"There y'go."
(Kinsley Kingsley)


[07:40] "!!!"

The girl reacts to her words. She points to herself, as if to say 'My mom too!'. A nod is expressed, along with that softened and timid smile to accompany to the little Maria.

Maria's eyes dart about the Drakanite, trying to move not so close to her that she'd suddenly get shocked or singed herself! It was a curiosity to one such as herself. How someone can already be so potent with magic at such a young age.

Maria couldn't help but feel envious, for her siblings were the same. She always felt the runt of the family, despite not even being the youngest.

"..." She shakes her head, snapping away from such thoughts. Talk of cheesecake and spicy, sweet tarts fill her ear. She too, envelops a mischievous grin, as if to agree with her words.

'My mom is a bartender and cook. She can make cheesecake for the both of us.' she writes rather swiftly. Any faster, and her hand would break in excitement. Perhaps Cassia had rubbed off a little on the timid girl.

"!!!"

Where did she live? Was that safe to say? "..." There is a expression of worry on the girl's features. She heard stories of pirates sizing up the island in which she lived. The last thing she wanted was for her newfound friend to get in the crossfire. Alas, she figured Cassia would know the risks. Living on Meranthe as well as surrounding islands was a dangerous game in itself.

"..."

'Nilhirra' she writes, pointing southeast, toward the island several miles across the shore, all the way in the distance.

Maria points to herself, then back to Cassia. She mimics taking a bite of a cheesecake in a rather awkward way. But perhaps it was the thought that counts! A gesture that perhaps she might want to share some sweets with the girl someday. Making friends was rare, for the girl, after all.

She still had another Drakanite to talk too someday.

"..."

She flicks her hand across the pages again, expressing the words in her notebook.

'Be careful. It is dangerous near the shores nowadays.'
(Maria Malibu)


[07:42] Reaching out to accept the blades, it almost seemed to bring a tear to his eye that he'd managed to get it back. With a bit of financial causality that is, as he'd sling the sword around his back.

It felt strange, like he was being rejected, something unlike what he'd dealt with before. Yet, all the same he had it and may not return it to Yuki.

"Thank you, Kinsley, I will do my best to make good on the deal. Though we are about a month into the new year perhaps we consider this day two each year not the end?"
(Ansel)


[07:45] A hum or two parts from the Lapine.

"Man, you're lucky Mads ain't here. This shit would be highly unreasonable if he was. Fine, fine. Consider this day each year."

Sights drift over to his transceiver, which starts buzzing about at the exchange's conclusion. He's hasty to let it occupy him, but he does say one thing.

"Oh, if y'see Edwyn. Tell him Kinsley said 'fuck you', again."
(Kinsley Kingsley)


[07:45] Ansel says, "Thank you again. I should hopefully have a means to acquire the coin and enough people to help."
[07:46] Kinsley Kingsley exclaims, "Yup-yup!"
[07:47] Syn Hiraeth says, "Kinsely"
[07:47] Kinsley Kingsley asks, "What's good?"
[07:48] [TRANSCEIVER]
{Maliland02das} Penelope Malibu transmits: "are we all dead here"
[07:48] Syn Hiraeth asks, "Can i be a fighter for midpoint?"
[07:48] Kinsley Kingsley asks, "Are y'tough?"
[07:48] Syn Hiraeth says, "Yes."
[07:48] Kinsley Kingsley says, "How tough, huh? I don't want ya' gettin' captured for bein' one of us."
[07:48] Kinsley Kingsley asks, "This comes with quite a risk, y'hear?"
[07:49] Syn Hiraeth says, "Fight me then, i'll show you."
[07:49] Kinsley Kingsley says, "Very well."
[07:49] Xiao Amamiya asks, "Do you need a trip back to Serenity, Victoria?"
[07:49] Milos Prithvi exclaims, "Thank you for having me!"
[07:49] Xiao Amamiya exclaims, "Of course!"
[07:50] Victoria A. Kasca says, "Yes, me and Milos do."
[07:50] Victoria A. Kasca says, "We are going there."
[07:50] Xiao Amamiya says, "Sure thing then."
[07:50] Milos Prithvi nods eagerly.
(Milos Prithvi)


[07:52] Raises her eyebrows! A surprise to hear, not that she was hubristic but she was very proud of who her mother is, she tilts her head with a smile.

"My mom is Basil! Who is your mom? I bet they know eachother if their both artificers, WAIT SHE CAN?!"

She brimmed with excitement again, magic jumping with electricity this way and that around her, to her she felt as natural as breathing, magic was just, who she was, it was an intrinsic form of her self. Her Father always said it was because of the Silvanas blood in her veins.

"Yes! I will have to come visit for snacks and cake! I've never heard of where your from but I bet I could get dad to drag me there, or Sten! Uncle Rued won't hes grumpy as heck! Oh! Yes! We shall dine on the flesh of the cheese mightily!"

Raises a fist to the air, looking triumphant and pretending to be a might war general!

"Oh don't worry! I am the mighty Cassia Mooney Silvanas!Nobody will ever stop me! Fire in my blood and lightning at my feet!"

She says then breaks down laughing shaking her head, snorting and giggling to herself as she slumps back fully onto the bench.

"If only I could actually keep up that level of confidence.... Oh well, at least I can fake it till I make it or get beaten up."

(Cassia M. Silvanas)

[07:53] Maple exclaims, "Hallo!"
[07:53] Maple asks, "Call Rainy and we go adventure?"
[08:02] Koyo drag here daydreaming Hamiya and beated up Geryon.

"Ehem! People of the Midpoint, Mister Demon ordered me to drag this man to the town and say Mister Demon did things to him! Scary!" She pushed Geryon more toward.
(Koyo)


[08:03] Jona Hiraeth asks, "What demon?"
[08:03] Koyo says, "Ugly one."
[08:03] Jona Hiraeth says, "They're all ugly."
[08:04] Cassia M. Silvanas exclaims, "Geryon.... oh no!"
[08:04] Koyo says, "Maybe..."
[08:04] Guy says, "Very true."
[08:04] Koyo says, "Demon wanted to enslave me and Hamiya, but said we're not inteligent and more trouble than worth."
[08:04] Geryon Delmare almost throws up
(Geryon Delmare)


[08:04] Guy says, "..."
[08:05] Koyo says, "What's not true, we both are super smart"
[08:05] Koyo is not smart
(Koyo)


[08:05] Jona Hiraeth says, "I believe the Demon."
[08:05] Koyo says, "-"
[08:05] Guy says, "Damn, I don't think I've ever heard a demon say they don't wanna ensalve someone before."
[08:05] Guy says, "Must be true."
[08:05] Koyo says, "Meaaan"
[08:06] Geryon Delmare head is ringing not too sure of whats happening right now
(Geryon Delmare)

[08:10] Koyo says, "I think here's no medic..."
[08:11] Basil? She had heard that name leave her mother's lips a few times before. It did seem familiar! Perhaps their mothers used to work together, Maria would wonder?

Of course, she would flip through her notebook to answer the small Drakanite's query. What was surprising, was that the name would also come with a drawing of her mother. The name 'Meryl Malibu' would be seen scrawled near the top, the bottom depicting a rather elegant drawing of her mother. Blue coat, hat, and all. Perhaps in another life, did Cassia's mother known her as just Malibu...

She expresses the drawing with a smile. Of course, nodding at the young girl's excitement before her. Her mother was known for being both the best bartender and cook on Meranthe. And as such, does Maria display her pride with a boisterous expression.

When it came to snacks and cake, the girl nods with a ecstatic smile and expression. She places a hand on her chest, more than agreeing to join the Silvanas for snacks and cake. Her grin turns into a toothy smile, with even the little Malibu finding it difficult to contain her excitement.

A silent giggle is expressed at the girl's bravery and bravado. Maria covers her laugh, seeming to enjoy the Silvanas shenanigans.

She couldn't help but feel as if their mothers had known each other. Perhaps this was why she felt it easy to connect with her so soon? Who was to say? Perhaps a question for Maria to ask her own mother someday.

Maria nods, canary hues staring into the big virescent eyes of the drakanite. Still, was there an expression of worry. Anxiety. That this little Drakanite did not know the dangers of this world just yet...

Well, that was why Maria had that gun at her hip, was it not?

It wasn't just to protect herself.

"..." Maria's eyes finally gaze away from the Drakanite. A giggling and smiling expression soon turning blank, as her eyes gaze at the sun above. It was nigh time she get home, lest the pirates she had heard about start to search for her.

"..."

'I have to go before it gets too late. It was nice meeting you, Cassia.' She expresses to her newfound friend. But before taking her leave?

"..."

Maria draws a quick, rather crude sketch of a cheesecake, handing it to the girl. The coordinates too her island also set on the paper. With that, a brief nod and a wave, as she mouths 'Goodbye' to her newfound friend.

Hoping to meet again.

(Maria Malibu)
