Upon hearing lian's explanation on why her sitting room was destroyed earlier, Mistress hadn't said anything, but nodded in understanding. So the young succubus tried to eat Spike and most likely Lian had gotten in the middle of it thus starting a fight. She was definitely have a work with them later on the subject but for now she wanted the elvish woman to take a seat and relax while eating. Bowing to the elvish woman, "
Go enjoy the fruits of your labor and I'll be within the room momentarily," Mistress adi with a smile and watched the her leave the room with Martin trailing behind her.
A small chuckle came from the mistress as all of her supplies were already out and ready so she began chopping and breading veggies while growing an arm underneath her first pair and letting that take care of stirring the noddles within the broth. All of the shrimps and veggies ready to be put in oil to fry, Mistress got a sudden burst of negative energy and immediately recognized the wavelength as Scratch's.. Her heart squeezing in her chest, Mistress whipped around to find smoke rolling into the kitchen. Gritting her teeth a bit, Mistress turned off the burner for the noddles and oil then retracted her helping hand before moving quickly into the smoke to cross the hallway into the Sitting Room while producing a red paper fan and using the force of her soul energy to blow the smoke away from the main hall.
"
Scratch," Mistress said as she looked into the doorway of the smoky sitting room and the red horns were displayed pointing back toward her as he sit facing the others in the room. One quick glance about the room and she noticed everyone had stopped eating and all on edge, a sense of fear also permeated the air as well as anger. "
How dare you," she muttered with disdain and produced another crimson fan from her kimono and dropped into a horse stance while sliding it open. To those that can see magic and aura, the red fans began to glow purple as Mistress' kimono spread down the middle in her current stand and raised her arms to began creating a mass air current running through the room by rapidly moving her arms. A stomp of her foot and fluid movement of her fans from one side of the room to the open door to the patio, the smoke was forced to dissipate with her energy pushing the blackness in the room and so it was cleared away.
Straightening and snapping her fans closed, she placed them in one hand and reached out to grasp Scratch's back collar only to have her hand go right through him, "
A projection, how cowardly," Mistress said then moved so that she at the opposite end of the table and face to face with her former lover. "
Speak before I vanquish your projection," it was true that his form right now was intangible, but there was surely a part of him near Blooming Lotus that was and while he she had him here she was also busy searching her lines of webbing for where part of his blackened soul was hiding. It may have been put a merely fragment, but as soon as her webbed eyes found the right string she would not hesitated to move.
